I want to remove unused media

I imported a bunch of video into an "event" in iMovie. I ended up only using a small amount for my movie. Can I trash all the un-used footage in an event? If so, how do I do that? Can it be done per event?
Thanks

Hi Hans,
This is a similar problem as in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2129273
I suggested adding a reelnumber as well, whch is usually the cure for this problem.
Obviously not for you as well for the poster of the other thread. So I think the only way will be the way I described in the other thread.
I'm now thinking that maybe the problem lies in the fact you exported from MPEG-STreamClip as DV-stream, which is not OK for FCP.
Next time export from MPEG streamclip as Quicktime Movie with the DV-settings. (given your name, I think in your case it would be PV PAL)
To go short for now:
Export the timeline as a Quicktime Move (File > Export > Export Quicktime File)
After that delete your original large file. Only problem is that there's no connection anymore to the original DVD...

Removing unused media from Sequence cause crashing

I am trying to remove unused media from projects prior to archiving to free up/clean up finished projects. Each project I have tried to do this with I am having the program close during process. Then when I try to reopen project it will not open and keeps crashing. Firstly are these project now corrupt, and can I still archive them somehow or get the project back?? Please help as the projects I have tried to do this with aren't of huge importance but I do need to try to clean up and archive others that are.

It is safe to use the media manager...
Check your hard drive for space...for 30 mins means you'll need at least another 6.5 GB of free space... make it 8GB to be safe...
In media manager (NOTE : also read the manual carefully) use the COPY option...
Using COPY, ensure the 'duplicate selected items and place into a new project' box IS ticked, this will set up a completely new project and folder, containing ONLY EVERYTHING you have in your 30 min sequence... and will not delete or change anything from the origonal... If you go to the new folder you'll see another folder called 'media'... this will contain all the clips etc.
Then, open up the new COPIED project, watch it to check it's ok... if it's cool (which it should be) then you now have a completely independant project that is nothing to do with the origonal... and contains only used media.
Then, open up final cut pro docs>capture scratch> 'project name' and you can simply delete ALL your old media manually, knowing that everything you need is now in a new folder elsewhere....
Of course, this only works if you have that little bit of extra space left on your drive for the new media to be copied to... but i find it's the safest, and easiest way of removing unused media.

Reducing Project Size, Removing unused media

I just finished a project and now I'd like to reduce the size to free up some hard drive space. I'd like to keep the captured media files that were actually used in case there are any changes from the client, but delete the ones that were not. Is there an easy way to do this? Anyone have any good strategies when a project is finished.
Everything was captured using Log and capture, so I could reimport if necessary, but I had 20hrs of footage and only used 30minutes, so there's definitely some that wasn't touched.
Thanks,
Duane

Removing unused media files?

I tend to move slides between presentations often, and as a result I have multiple copies of media files (movies, photos, etc.) all in the presentation package. Often, if a slide is deleted, the media contained on that slide is still present in the package. Does anyone know of an easy way to remove unused media files? I'm doing this to help keep the file size down, as it's getting seriously unwieldy. Thanks

Not that I know of...I miss one option that some graphic programs have... collect on output. It will collect all linked files and place them in the same folder of you finial file. I wish a lot of programs had this function. Would save time hunting down associated files that you can't remember where you put them...
I know this doesn't help you...sorry.

HOW TO Delete Unused Media from FINAL CUT PRO

*HOW TO DELETE UNUSED MEDIA FROM HARD DRIVE IN FINAL CUT PRO.* Keywords: disk disc drive space remove compressor
SUMMARY:
Say your original clip is 10 gigs, you can use only what you need and delete the rest from your hard drive. I know people on the forums say to just buy another hard drive, NO! It took 2 days to figure out but here it is!!! Email me if needed at [email protected]
QUESTION:
I captured 1 hour of video at a time and now want to delete from my hard drive all the parts I don’t want to use. I have 300GB of junk on my hard drive and I only want to use a few scenes using a few megabytes, so that I'll get most of my 300GB back!!!!
ANSWER:
In final cut on Mac, click on one small clip (to get familiar with process), go to “file”, “export”, then “using compressor”. This will open compressor software. Your file will open in the left top window. Then you need to batch the job or jobs. IMPORTANT: I’ve also solved the Compressor problem when you press “submit” to a batch and it states “Cluster: None”. Search forum for “In compressor you experience what I have”.

Part of the problem could lie in the fact it's an imovie project coming into FCP, wouldn't rule that out. Second my be the terms you use and what you expect to happen. For example, a subclip is just a smaller clip subbed from a larger clip. It has nothing to do with media management. But you can media manage a subclip and delete the unused media.
Try this (be sure to back up the original clip first). take a long clip into the viewer, make an IN and OUT duration of like 30 frames and then subclip that, Modify > Make Subclip. a new subclip will appear in the browser with a torn clip icon and the name Subclip. Right click on the subclip and choose Media Manager.... Check the Delete unused media from duplicated clip. As you toggle that the green Modified bar at the top change from the full clip size to a tiny modified size. If it does not then one of two things ... user error or the system is screwed up. That's the easiest way to test media manager.

Deleting unused media in Media Manager not working

This is one of those cases where I get really frustrated with Apple...
I've captured some footage from VHS using 'capture now', and the media that was created has a bunch of blank frames at the beginning and end. I'd like to remove the excess media from the clip to save space.
I'm following the directions EXACTLY as shown in the section "Creating Independent Media Files From Subclips After Capturing" from the Final Cut Pro User Manual on page 377 selecting subclips I want to keep and using Media Manager to delete unused media, but my media hasn't gotten any smaller, and the blank frames in the original media are still there if I reconnect it.
Furthermore, I've tried using media manager to copy the referenced media (from a subclip) to a new clip, and it just copies the whole file.
How can I get rid of this excess waste of space!!?

Well, does this footage have timecode? A REEL number? If you captured as NON-CONTROLLED device the footage might not have timecode, and without timecode the Media Manager cannot track exactly what you want to remove...what footage you want set aside and copied as the rest is deleted. This is also the case if you don't have a reel number. You might have 5 clips all with the same starting timecode but no reel number.

Removing unused clips to save disk space

Hi,
I have imported all the video clips off my camera into FCE and finshed editing my final movie.
I now want to get rid of all those clips (which are a waste of space) that I did not, in any way, incoporptae into my project.... you know, all the rubbish clips that I probably should of just not imported.
I am wondering if there is a way to identify clips or remove clips in FCE that are not used in the timeline?
Like the space saver thing in iMovie.

Use Cmd-F in the browser and do a search for unused media. When you've found them right-click on the piece and select reveal in finder. Move it to the trash and when you've got them all there empty the trash.

Want to remove Lossless files from dual-format library, keep elsewhere

My iTunes library consists entirely of music ripped from audio CDs. Each CD was ripped twice, once in Apple Lossless format, once in AAC format.
For several reasons (chief among them the desire to free up a lot of disk space on my iMac), I want to remove the Lossless files from my iTunes library. But I want to keep all of the AAC files there as they are, along with my playlists (all based on the AAC files only).
However, for a measure of future-proofing, I still want to keep the Lossless files. And whenever I buy a CD, I want to still import it as both Lossless and AAC, keeping the Lossless files handy while adding the AAC files to the iTunes library.
I must obviously begin with an external Firewire drive big enough for my Lossless content. How do I proceeed from there?

I would take this approach, but others might have better suggestions.
First, when you get your external drive, copy the entire iTunes folder to the external drive which will copy everything (media files, database files, artwork, etc.).
Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...
How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304447
If you are just testing, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location. Now you can sort your library by "Kind" which is the format it is encoded as and all the Apple Lossless files will be grouped together. Select the first one, scroll down to the last one, Shift-Select the last one which will select all the ones in between and hit delete! Now your internal drive library is everything except Apple Lossless.
If you wish, you can switch back to the external drive library and do the same for the AAC files.
Now when ever you add a new CD you can do it a couple ways. But probably the most straight forward is to simply put in the CD, open the internal library, import as AAC files. Switch to the external library and import again as lossless.

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!
Ben

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.

How to know and remove unused applications via pacman?[SOLVED]

Hello, I would like to know how to remove them...I mean those packages included [unused anymore] during installation of a specific app...I'm saving space for I only have an 8gb SSD on my Acer Aspire One...My cache are already empty [pkg]...:)
Thanks in advance

What do you mean "included during installation of a specific app"? The only packages installed with a target package are those packages which it depends on, so you can't remove them if you want the target package to still work. To remove packages that you don't want anymore, use "pacman -Rsn <pkg name>". That will remove the package and it's dependencies.
To see which packages are "orphans", i.e. installed as dependencies for packages that are no longer installed, use "pacman -Qdt". You can remove all of those with "pacman -Rsn $(pacman -Qqdt)".
Take a look at the pacman man page too: "man pacman"
EDIT
I just saw your post here where you state that you've been making packages with
makepkg -s
Now I understand what you want to remove and why. The "pacman -Rsn $(pacman -Qqdt)" command will do this.
In general though, you should take the time to learn about the utilities that you're using. From the makepkg man page:
-r, --rmdeps
Upon successful build, remove any dependencies installed by makepkg
during dependency auto-resolution (using -b or -s).
-s, --syncdeps
Install missing dependencies using pacman. When build-time or
run-time dependencies are not found, pacman will try to resolve
them. If successful, the missing packages will be downloaded and
installed.
Instead of using "makepkg -s", you should use "makepkg -s -r" to remove makedepends automatically when you're done.
