Consolidate not deleting (still including) unused clips?

I try to consolidate like I usually do, deleting unused clips and leaving 1 sec of handles to a duplicated sequence and copying files, so I can back up the source sequence files to DVD. I usually edit a 2 min piece and it's around 2-3 GB in size (XDCAM HD files). After ending up with 8 GB, I wondered what was wrong. I looked at the resulting files after consolidating and the entire clips were maintained and in-tact even though I checked "delete unused media from duplicated items". Why is FCP doing this? Is there a way to avoid it?
My guess: The clips are all transcode from 5Dm2 clip using mpeg streamclip, so I don't know if timecode was produced or properly handled, but I read somewhere that timecode is required to properly consolidate. Might this refer to the sequence timecode or timecode of source clips? And if so, is there a way to add timecode during transcode process?
Anyone experienced this or know what's going on?

Why is FCP doing this? Is there a way to avoid it?
It's because those clips don't have *Reel Names*. In that situation, Final Cut Pro sees the media as coming from a source that is not possible to recapture. It protects you against potential loss of media by saving all of it.
To assign a Reel Name, click a clip in the Browser then press command and 9 keys to bring up the Item Properties window. In the Format section, you will see that the Reel Name column is already highlighted for you to input the information.

Media Manager not deleting unused media from HDV (intermediate codec) clips

I have a project which uses HDV footage which I captured using the Apple Intermediate Codec. I now have a bunch of clips that are very large in file size so I'd like to use the Media Manager to delete all the unused footage from the clips. I have tried countless different selections of sequences, clips in the browser, clips in a timeline etc but can't seem to get the Media Manager to show a smaller file size for the processed files based on 'Use Existing' with 'Delete unused media' option. The two size meters at the top always stay the same. Can the media manager trim HDV/Apple Intermediate Codec footage? If not is there a way to get rid of the footage that I haven't used? Thanks!

I've never mastered MM. If I want a small section out of larger clip, I simply just export that section of the clip using 'current settings'.
Hope someone who has tamed the MM beast will step in here and offer you a better way...
good luck.

What can be done to avoid getting the following error when trying to delete unused clips he operation could not be completed. *** -[__NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex:]: object cannot be nil

what can be done to avoid getting the following error when trying to delete unused clips in Imovie 09 "the operation could not be completed. *** -[__NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex:]: object cannot be nil" I use to get these type of error messages when trying to delete unsused clips from a large event 60 minutes or longer, but now I get this message when trying to reduce a 4 minute event.
Also, does anyone know if there is a limit to the total amount of space that can be taken up by Projects in Imovie 09
Thanks for any help

Zachy,
It goes something like this...
Put your new drive in the enclosure. Use Disk Utility to format it, etc. I'd give it a slightly different name than the original. Let's say you have Old Disk and New Disk as your drive names. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy Old Disk to New Disk. Now you should have an exact copy, which you can test by rebooting and holding down the Option key. Choose New Disk from the list and let it boot, make sure all is well.
Shut down and physically swap the drives. Take Old Disk and put it in the enclosure. Now your system has a new disk with a lot more space and you can reformat your old disk and just use it for large files or whatever.

Titles or Music in Project Shift when deleting unused clips from Event

When deleting unused clips from an Event ("Move Event to Trash | Delete Unused") the Titles and/or the Music / Voiceover shifts in time within the project built from clips in that Event. Sometimes, the music slides later, so instead of starting at the beginning of the project, it's slid over by 20 or so. Other times, the music stayed anchored, but the titles moved to later times. In some cases, the titles not only moved, but streched in time, so that a 5 second title placed at 10 seconds into the project, became a 47 second title, starting 35 seconds into the project! This has happened to four projects and I just verified again as part of this posting that it is still an issue. Easy enough to slide the clips and music back where they belong but now it says "Itunes" and "YouTube" is out of date; they are not - it's iMovie that got confused.

You're performing a 'Ripple delete' by using the DEL key. Use the DELETE key to perform a 'Lift delete'. The DELETE key is located just above the backslash key.

I can not delete my history and adding new bookmarks. Upgrading to later Firefox versions and/or re-installing didn't help. The address bar still shows the web addresses of old and whenever I make new bookmarks, it's always gone as if it was never made.

I can not delete my history and adding new bookmarks.
Upgrading to later Firefox versions and/or re-installing didn't rectify it either.
The address bar still shows the web addresses of old and whenever I make new bookmarks, it's always gone as if it was never made.
Also, I have noticed that every once in awhile you can not close tabs you've opened, either by pushing on the X button and/or clicking on the mouse to close it. Although closing the window and opening it again (without closing the Firefox application) seemed to rectify the problem in the short term, it's becoming quite annoying.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== the Firefox is being used

I think I have a solution.
First, download the add-on SQManager. This should be included with FireFox, it is really good.
Look for the file '''moz_hosts''' in the folder '''places.sqlite'''.
Don't delete the file, just delete the information in the file. My file has over 3600 websites, which go back years!! I did not know they were there, but I was frustrated about not being able to get rid of them. They popped up every time I used the address bar. Clearing my history would not get rid of them.
This is where they are stored!! I found that by deleting the pesky web site from '''moz_hosts''', it does not appear in my address bar anymore!!!
I think that if I just delete all the websites in moz_hosts....
Wa-la...History Gone!!!
As long as you don't delete the file, just empty it, FireFox won't know the difference. It will just keep adding websites to it until you empty it again.
Why running "clear recent history" doesn't do this, I don't know. You are doing manually what "clear recent history" is not doing.
Please tell me if you see any flaw in this.
''I think it's the solution we've all been looking for!''

Objects for deletion included in support package are not deleted

Hi experts,
How can i create a support package using Add-on Assembly Kit that deletes several objects?
This is the case:
We have DEV, QA and PROD systems. The objects are deleted on DEV and the transports are released. The transports are automatically imported on QA and the objects are deleted -checked they are gone. A support package of the product is created on QA including the transports that delete the objects. The SP is released successfully and imported on PROD successfully. The objects that should be deleted still exist on PROD. I've checked the logs for errors - no errors found.
Do you have any idea what could be the reason?
Best regards,
Petar

Deleting Unused Clips?

Is there a way to delete unused clips not used in a project? iMovie has that option, but I can't find it in Final Cut Pro X. Or is there a way to see which clips are used in your project and which are not?

Witih the project open, click the "Page" button in the lower left of the window. If you mouse over it, the tooltip will tell you it is the "Timeline Index". When you open it, by defauilt it will list all clips in use with that project. It will actually show you every "clipped clip". So if you have trimmed a lot of stuff and have 20 "subclips" of the original clip from the Event Browser, you will see 20 clips of the same name.
If you have played around in it, perhaps it will show other information. In that case, just click "clips" at the top and "Video" at the bottom.
It is a very useful little window. If you want to go to a particular clip in the project, just click on it in the Index.
If you have set up titles, click the "Titles" button at the bottom, and you can go to any title by clicking on it.
Similarly, if you have set up markers, you can click "tags" at the top of the window and "markers" at the bottom of the window, then click any name and go to the marker.
A feature I really love is being able to turn markers into "todo" items to remind yourself (for instance) to go back to put in a title, or work on the color correction a bit more, or whatever.
Anyway. More information than you asked, but that's the way to tell what clips have been used.
Unfortunately, having left many things out of FCPX from FCP 7, I guess they felt obligated to leave a few things out of "iMovie Pro" as well, and one of them is that cool colored bar that quickly informed you of what parts of what clips have been used in the project.

You didn't import all of your pics regularly? Particularly before an update?
They may very well be gone.
You can try restoring from backup.

I installed google chrome and added it to my applications folder and it works but my desktop still has the icon of the chrome volume/disk and when i right click it gives an option to eject but it will not delete how can I get rid of it?

Drag it to the trash icon in your dock. This is a disk image, and you need to "eject" it, to get rid of it.

Are messages I have not deleted but not backed up still on a server somewhere?

Peculiar situation - I'll explan as succinctly as I can.
Recently I had to restore my iphone. On it were stored a number of messages that I will describe as 'not deleted' but as I had not backed up successfully in some time - *cough* two months *cough* - the backup obviously did not restore them.
The messages app is seemingly operating normally. No interruption is noted aside from problems associated with my carrier.
Is there a way to retrieve those messages falling into the 'not deleted but historical and not captured by the backup' part of the resulting Venn diagram?

No.
Your iPhone should back up whenever you connect it to your computer or if you are syncing to iCloud, whenever you plug it in while on wi-fi...

When I open firefox it is returning to the last viewed page instead of my homepage even though I have the settings set to clear history every time I close Firefox. I check and all of the previous history is still there and not deleted..

Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that that there are no longer Firefox or plugin-container processes left on the Processes tab in the Task Manager. Otherwise session restore will reopen the page(s) from the previous session.

My facebook app went dark and had the word "waiting" below it and I can not delete so I downloaded a new facebook app which is ok but the old app is still there but now the word "waiting" is gone and still cannot delete.

My facebook app went dark and had the word "waiting" below it and I can not delete so I downloaded a new facebook app which is ok but the old app is still there but now the word "waiting" is gone and still cannot delete.

This is my boilerplate respone for the "waiting apps" problem. Give these suggestions a try in order.
1. Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
2. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
3. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first.
4. If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
5. You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again. Apps may also be able to be deleted in Settings>General>Usage>Storage if you cannot get the X to pop up on the icon.
6. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
7. If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.
