In an ideal world when one completes a project it should be as simple as
deleting the files from the scratch disks which were chosen during initial setup.
In reality, editors will often end up with files scattered across several hard disks
with everything from clips to render files in the most obscure and hidden areas
of one's computer. This situation is particularly common when one works with
several projects at a time and when one fails to pay attention to the setup of
scratch disks when moving from project to project. Fortunately there are a few
very easy techniques which one can use without having to search through
every folder on each hard drive to track down all of the files that have been
used in a particular project.
Making Clips Offline
An invaluable command is
Make Offline
found under the Modify menu. Make Offline,
as the name suggests, will break the link
between the project you are working with and
the clips you choose to
make offline. This is done in one of
three ways:
■
(1)
the link is broken and the clips
are left stored on the hard
drive
■
(2)
the selected clips are moved to
the trash
■
(3)
the selected clips are deleted
from the disk.
