Use Handles Checkbox
This option modifies the “Delete unused media” option described above so that less
media is deleted from a media file. Handles are additional footage at the beginning
and end of a clip that you keep just in case you need a few extra frames for trimming,
or you need extra footage beyond your planned In and Out points to create a
transition, such as a dissolve, to another shot.
 Available only with: Delete unused media
Note: This option works only on QuickTime files that have timecode tracks and
reel names. If you have AIFF and Wave files in your selection, they are copied in
their entirety.
Include Affiliate Clips Outside Selection Checkbox
This option allows you to retain media used by all clips affiliated with your currently
selected items, not just media for the selected items. Whenever you choose a Media
Manager option that can potentially delete media, this option is automatically enabled.
Important:
Because clips are affiliated by way of a master clip, you need to make sure
you also select the “Include master clips outside selection” option to retain affiliated
clips’ media.
When you select this option, the following additional media is included by the
operation:
 A selected clip’s master clip media marked by an In point and Out point (or Media
Start and End points if no In or Out point is set)
 Media between affiliated clips’ In and Out points. For example, if a clip in Sequence A
refers to the first 10 seconds of a media file, and an affiliate clip in Sequence B refers
to the last 10 seconds of the same media file, none of the media file is deleted.
 Media referenced by any affiliate clips in other sequences, even if those sequences
weren’t originally selected
For example, if you have two affiliated clips, one in Sequence A and one in Sequence B,
they both refer to the same media file via their common master clip in the Browser. If
you select Sequence A to copy media using the Media Manager, only the media
referred to by the clip in Sequence A is copied. However, if you select the “Include
master clips outside selection” option and the “Include affiliate clips outside selection”
option, the media referred to by the affiliate clip in Sequence B is also copied, even
though you selected Sequence A for processing. Any media between the master clip’s
In and Out points is also retained.
