Grass Valley iTX Desktop v.2.6 - Manual (Page 320)

Preparing media items for playout
Note:
• Deleting a file does not delete any associated asset from the System Database.
• If you delete all the files that are associated with a video clip, that clip becomes a
placeholder clip; i.e. a database asset with no media file. You can re-use the asset by
encoding new media; or by placing a new file with the same name as the deleted file in the
Media Store Inbox.
As well as viewing information about files in different locations, you can use the features under
the Locations tab to:
• Open the folder that contains a file.
• Delete any of the files associated with a single asset.
• Delete any of the files for a batch of selected assets.
• Add language tags to audio tracks.
• Manually group mono audio tracks of a broadcast file to allow iTX to use them in a stereo
or Dolby E output signal.
Open the folder for the file associated with an asset
1. Select an asset in the results pane.
2. Expand the file entry in the Property Editor.
3. Click next to the URI box.
iTX opens the Windows folder that contains the file.
Note:
• You should only use this operation to check a file is in a specified location. If you want to
delete the file, you should use iTX to do it; using a Windows option would create an error
in the System Database.
Delete a file for a single asset
1. Select an asset in the results pane.
2. Click in the entry for a particular location.
iTX displays a dialog requesting you to confirm you want to delete the file. If the file is for a
video clip or an audio clip, the dialog lists any other assets (co-references) that use the file.
3. Click OK.
iTX uses the Media Watcher to delete the file.
Delete multiple files for a single asset
1. Select an asset in the results pane.
