104 Part I Media and Project Management
5 In the Media Manager, make the following selections:
6 Click OK.
The Media Manager creates a new media file for each selected subclip and reconnects
each subclip to the new media file. The original media file is deleted, so any subclips
not selected become offline.
Example: Consolidating Media Files Into One Folder
Sometimes the media files for a project are stored in several folders on one or more
scratch disks. This happens if you selected a different scratch disk each time you
captured media files, or when the name of the project file changes (this often happens
when you save often to different filenames). The Media Manager makes it easy for you
to consolidate all the media files for a project into one folder, without making any clips
go offline.
In this example, you move all of the media files associated with one project to a single
folder.
1 If you want to save your media files to a new folder on your hard disk, create that folder
in the Finder.
Select this option.
Deselect the “Duplicate
selected item and place
into a new project”
checkbox.
Choose “Use existing”
from this pop-up menu.
Choose “clip names” from this pop-up
menu. This option names your media
files using the descriptive subclip names
instead of numbered variations on the
original media filename.
