Re: [Avid-L2] Deleting Precomputes

 

That's a good question as I've never used that function in deleting precomputes I can't speak to that.  Doesn't "unreferenced clips" mean clips and not precomputes?  I would think that would only grab clips and not precomputes, but I'm not a complete authority on that.  I do my best to keep my media organized by volume/workspace so I don't have to dig into these subtleties with their inherent gotchas etc....

Why aren't you guys just using "Select unreferenced clips" in the media tool? Is the result not the same as selecting media relatives and reversing, just faster?

"Clutter"?  I like to think of those precomputes as "artistic stepping stones"

Fantastic counsel, gentlemen. Thank you. Using your combined techniques, I just culled away nearly 2 TB of clutter. Now that's a productive Sunday.

Thanks again.

THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR 8.5+ ONLY

Put all current seqs that include any renders you want to keep, together in the same bin (copies are fine).

Open Media Tool.

Select Appropriate drive(s).

Select Current Project.

Select only Precomputes - Rendered Effects.

Select all Sequences in the bin.

From that bin's hamburger menu, find SELECT > MEDIA RELATIVES.

Renders should get highlighted in the Media Tool.

Go to the MEDIA TOOL's Hamburger menu:
SELECT > REVERSE SELECTION

Delete

I need the most thorough possible guide/tutorial on deleting render files. I'm swamped with old render files that have filled a couple of drives, but the horror of not knowing how to not accidentally delete something essential like, say, an alpha channel on a Photoshop import (as one example), has me paralyzed with fear. For example, merely sorting by date doesn't really help because there are needed files within the tons of outdated material.

Can anyone point me toward a good resource and instructional on how to navigate these treacherous waters?

Thanks,
