Re: [Avid-L2] Reveal File/MXFs to Delete?

 

It's possible that it's been removed in recent versions, but the contextual menu that appears when you right-click on a clip in a bin used to have an option to "show media files" (or similar wording) which would select all of the files in the Finder (on a Mac) or select them one at a time in Windows Explorer (with a pop up window that let you tell it to select the next file).
I haven't used any of the 2018.x versions, so I don't know if that still exists.

Depending on how big the project is... select the sequences you need to keep, show media relatives in the media tool.... then reverse the selection, that should give you renders that were made but no longer used in the sequences.  (you can use the media tool interface to confirm  you aren't killing master clips)

I think that's what you are after.

If you know where the mixdowns are, in the bin, why not just highlight the clips and do a normal delete selecting both master clip and media..  That will remove the media files from your storage.

It sounds like you are thinking of show media relatives to highlight the related clips in the media tool but I don't see a need to go that route.  Renders are trickier and I often set the bin display to show render clips/files and then delete the clip and the media.  This gets rid of the render media where as using clear renders in to out etc... leaves those render files stranded and still taking up space.  HTH

Hi, everyone,

Quick question… I have a bunch of mix downs I need to clean out of my media files folders. These things are choking me. I remember there was a way to select these clips in their bin, and somehow reveal the file in the actual numbered MediaFile folder so that it can be deleted properly..

Can anyone point me to the resource for how to do this?

Much obliged,

DD
