Do one of the following:
 Choose File > Media Manager.
 Control-click one of the selected items, then choose Media Manager from the
shortcut menu.
If one of the items you selected contains no media (for example, if an empty sequence
is part of your selection), a message gives you the option to continue or stop. If you
choose to continue, the items that don’t contain any media will be ignored.

In the Media Manager window, choose a method for processing media files from the
Media pop-up menu.
4
Select whether or not you want to create a duplicate project that contains copies of the
selected clips, bins, and sequences.
5
Select available options to include more or less media related to your selection, and
whether or not you want to delete portions of existing media files.
For detailed information, see “
Settings and Options in the Media Manager Window
Important:
If you chose the “Use existing” option from the Media pop-up menu, be
absolutely sure that you want to perform this operation before you click OK. Once this
operation begins, media files may be deleted immediately. Canceling this operation
once it starts won’t restore them and the operation cannot be undone.
6
Click Browse to choose a destination for your newly moved or copied media files.
7
In the Choose a Folder dialog, select a location, then click Choose.
Note: The Browse button is dimmed and the above dialog does not appear if you
chose “Use existing” or “Create offline” from the Media pop-up menu in the Media
Manager window. This is because no new media files will be created or moved to a
new location.
A message appears if
your selection does not
contain media.
