Erasing a clip's unused media
For K2 Summit/Solo systems, you can use the Consolidate Media feature
to delete unwanted material from trimmed clips, subclips, programs or
playlists. Although similar to the Erase Unused Media feature in K2 Media
Client systems, there are some differences in how material is handled. The
following table describes the similarities and differences.
When using... | K2 Media Client Erase Unused Media | Summit Consolidate Media |
---|---|---|
Trimmed clips (Media not referenced by any subclip, program, or playlist) | Any unused storage is released; the media outside the in/out marks is erased. | No effect; nothing is erased. |
Subclips, programs, or playlists | With the Erase Unused Media feature, the source clip and the subclip both reference the same media. Unused media is not erased from a subclip unless the source clip has first been deleted manually. | With the Consolidate Media feature, the
subclip media is copied from the source material. Once you have consolidated
the media, you can manually delete the source media; the subclip is not
affected. Consolidating the media also removes the links to the assets.
Note: Before consolidating media, make sure you have enough
storage for the newly copied material. Maintain free space equivalent to the
longest clip consolidated.
|
Note: One second of media is retained (for editing) before and after the
trimmed clip, subclip, program or playlist.
When you consolidate media, the links between the assets are also removed.
