Summit Consolidate Media K2 Media Client Erase Unused
Media When using...
No effect; nothing is erased. Any unused storage is
released; the media outside the
in/out marks is erased. Trimmed clips (Media not
referenced by any subclip,
program, or playlist)
With the Consolidate Media feature,
the subclip media is copied from the
source material. Once you have
consolidated the media, you can
manually delete the source media;
the subclip is not affected.
Consolidating the media also
removes the links to the assets.
NOTE: Before consolidating
media, make sure you have enough
storage for the newly copied
material. Maintain free space
equivalent to the longest clip
consolidated.
With the Erase Unused Media
feature, the source clip and the
subclip both reference the
same media. Unused media is
not erased from a subclip
unless the source clip has first
been deleted manually. Subclips, programs, or
playlists
NOTE: One second of media is retained (for editing) before and after the trimmed clip, subclip, program
or playlist.
When you consolidate media, the links between the assets are also removed.

1. Select the clip in the asset list.
2. Right-click on the asset and select Consolidate Media .
A Consolidating message box appears.
NOTE: To verify that the media has been consolidated, you can check the file size in the V:\
drive.
