Deleting Media
Profile PRO Series 241
In this dialog box, you can view:
• A preview frame of the clip or master to help identify it. Preview frames are
not available for MPEG masters.
• The name of the clip or master.
• How many tracks the clip or master uses for both audio and video.
• The media format, either NTSC or PAL. NTSC clips are recorded with either
drop-frame or non-drop-frame timecode.
• The length of the clip or master. The length is shown in timecode format:
00:00:00:00
(Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames).
• The date and time that the media was created and the date and time it was
last changed. The date and time the media was created or last changed is
shown in the form:
12/2/94 9:40 PM
• The read-only attribute, which you can change by clicking the Read Only
box. Clips and masters with the read-only attribute cannot be renamed,
deleted, or modified in any way.
Deleting Media
When the amount of remaining disk storage begins to get low (the time
remaining is displayed below the edit timeline), you can free space by deleting
unused media.
1. Select media from the current bin display. You can select either clips or
masters; you can also select several clips or masters at a time.
2. Choose Delete from the Media menu or from the shortcut menu with a right-
click. Press the Delete key or the Delete button on the bin toolbar.
3. A dialog box asks you to confirm that you want to delete the selection. If you
click on Yes , the media is deleted; if you click on No , the operation is
cancelled.
4. When media is deleted, it is moved to the Recycle bin until the Recycle bin
is emptied.
NOTE: If a clip is locked, you cannot delete it. When a clip is deleted,
its source material is not deleted if any other clips or masters
reference that material. Only after the last clip is deleted is any disk
storage freed.
