Deleting an asset
Deleting an asset
You can delete assets to free storage space. You can safely delete a clip without
harming the subclips, playlists, and programs created from it. The media referenced
by subclips, playlists, and programs is preserved when the clip is deleted. Once the
source clip is deleted, subclips and playlist events retain an extra 1 second of media
before and after their mark points to allow some trimming.
Deleted assets are moved to the Recycle Bin unless the bypass Recycle Bin option is
used. (
See “Bypassing the Recycle Bin when deleting” on page 242 .) You must empty
the Recycle Bin to free storage space.
1. Select the asset in the Asset List using the front panel touch screen, the front panel
selection knob , or a mouse.
The multi-select feature in the Edit menu enables multiple selections.
2. Select Delete using one of the following:
• Select the Clips pane context menu button , then choose Delete , or
• Select Delete in the asset context menu , or
• Select the Delete button in the Clips pane.
If the Delete button is not displayed in the Clips pane, refer to assignable buttons
in “Guide to using the Clips pane” on page 220 .
A progress dialog appears when deleting multiple assets. If the selected asset is
contained in the Recycle Bin, it is permanently removed; otherwise, it is moved
from its original bin into the Recycle Bin. If an item of the same name is already in
the Recycle Bin, the new item is automatically renamed. (See also
“Bypassing the
Recycle Bin when deleting” on page 242 .)
NOTE: Assets that are locked or in use cannot be deleted.
Erasing a clip’s unused media
After editing a clip by moving the mark-in/mark-out points, the remaining portion of
media outside the marks can be erased to free media storage space. If the media
outside the clip marks is referenced by a subclip, program, or event from a playlist,
that media is not erased. Subclips and playlist events retain an extra 1 second of media
before and after their mark points to allow some trimming.
To erase unused media:
1. Select the clip in the asset list using the front panel touch screen, the front panel
selection knob , or a mouse.
2. Open the Clip Properties dialog box using one of the following:
• Select the Clips pane context menu button , then choose Properties , or
• Select Properties in the asset context menu , or
• Select the Properties button in the Clips pane.
If the Properties button is not displayed in the Clips pane, refer to assignable
buttons in “Guide to using the Clips pane” on page 220 .
