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

  • 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”.
    <Edited by Moderator>

    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.

  • Don't understand 'Delete unused media from duplicated items'

    Can anyone help with this?
    I have a large project spanned across 2 drives and want to tidy it all up to a third drive. Using Media Manager (with no specific sequences selected) it says the project size is 350Gb. If I check the 'Delete unused media from duplicated items' box it reduces to 267GB.
    Given that I'm not selecting a particular sequence edit I assume it is aimaing to manage all files. So what is the variation of 84GB. If I opt for the 267GB, what is in the 84GB that I'm about to loose. I haven't duplicated anything so unsure what I'll be losing?

    You won't lose anything if you copy the project with Media Manager. Test the copy afterwards to make sure it is exactly what it should be. Once you are happy with it, the original can be deleted.
    You can make the copy even smaller if you exclude render files. It will have to be re-rendered only if you have to revisit the project at some point. Use the space saved for something else until it is really needed.

  • Remove unused languages from personalization

    Hi,
    I've read some thread so far concerning "Personalization" and "how to remote unused languages" but most (all?) of them are now outdated.

    Does anyone know how to remove unused languages from personalization screens in EP 7.0 SP14 and above ?
    Best Regards,

    Hi,
    Please check your link, it's the same answer for 04 and 04s : outdated.
    It seems that SAP made some changes since a few release.
    Now it's a WebDynpro Page which manages the personalization for user preferences and there's a Webdynpro Java involved in the process : UmeEnduserPortalApp.
    Does anyone has the possibility to read from the application source code what's the method used now to make the language list for the end user ?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Removing Unused Queries from BW

    Hi All,
    I am trying to delete the UnUsed Queries from BW using the transaction RSZDELETE. But I am getting the following error " Query object 3IMQYHOKBZ4XIY9BXZTMZTPPG is blocked. Deletion has been cancelled."
    Is this related to authorizations or I need to do some setting changes.
    If any one faced the similar kind of Problem, please let me know how to over come this situation.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Regards,
    Surya.

    Check whether this object is locked in a transport request.
    Go to SE16 and enter table E071 and in the field OBJ_NAME, enter 3IMQYHOKBZ4XIY9BXZTMZTPPG. Execute and it will tell you which request is holding this object. Remove/unlock this object will allow you to delete the query.
    Hope, helps.

  • EDI Outbound IDOC Remove unused fields from segment

    Hi All,
    I am configuring a outbound idoc scenario for Message type ORDERS. The basic type for this message type is ORDERS05.
    The segment E1EDKA1 has 44 fields, I need only the first field and the last field of this segment.
    How do I remove the unused fields in this segment ?  I Tried BD56 and BD32 But they are for removing the complete segment and so does not serve my purpose.
    Any pointers to this issue is appreciable .
    Regards,

    Hi,
    Segmetns of standard message types can be deleted from BD53. But I don't think deleting fields would be possible from segments of standard idoc type. What you can do is you can create your own custom idoc type with the fields you want and allign it with the standard message type ORDERS. This should solve your purpose.

    I have the same problem on my Macbook Air with 10.5.6 - about 90% of the time, restore from hibernation crashes with the same message. I have submitted the crash report to Apple 10-20 times or so, but now I don't bother. This problem stared a while back (maybe two months or so) - I've had my Air for almost a year.
    I have Parallels desktop and Coolbook Controller installed - other than that I don't have anything exotic installed likely to affect the restore process (AFAIK). Do anyone else have any of these apps installed and experience the crash on restore from hibernation crashes?

  • Calling a DLL from LabVIEW causes crash

    Okay, this is an odd one. I have searched through various posts and have found several things that were close but not quite the same.
    I have a DLL. I pass to the function in the DLL two strings, each one representing an absolute path to a pair of files. I use a path control to get the paths and then convert those paths to strings. The function also has about 13 other parameters, each of which are U8's passed by reference. I have attached my VI and the DLL. I had to zip the DLL to get it a valid extension.
    The function opens the file pointed to by the first string and parses information out of it. It then tries to create some temporary files in a folder that W7 considers to be a safe temporary folder. The problem is that when I run this VI, LabVIEW crashes...hard. I get the message that LV needs to close. However, before it crashes, it successfully opens the file, parses the info out of it and creates one new file in the temp folder. So, the issue seems to happen after the function mostly finishes with everything it needs to do.
    One interesting note: I replaced the outputs of the path2string conversions with string constants pointing to the exact same files. Now LV doesn't crash. Instead I get an unhandled exception error in the DLL.
    Next interesting note: This same procedure called from another application written in C (on another system) works fine.
    Finally, I do have one advantage that most others don't: the developer of the DLL is a coworker of mine. So I have access to the source code.
    My coworker feels that the function is failing "between the lines" of code. He thinks it is some type of stack overrun but can't place it.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Joe

  • How to remove unused codepage from system

    Hello all,
    Has anyone yet removed codepage (customer codepages) from the system.
    If so, could you please tell me how to do so?
    I tryed with SPAD, but the option "delete" is always inactive. This customer codepages are also not found with transaction SCP.
    I want to delete them, because these are old test-codepages which I don't want to convert regarding my forthcoming unicode-conversion.
    regards
    Sven

    Thanks for your answers so far.
    @subbu:
    The report rscp0004 is obsolete.
    @Vincent:
    the problem is, that these customer codepages (in my case: 9000, 9001 and 9002) don't show up in rscpinst, and they're also not in table TCPDB.
    I can only see these codepages in transaction SPAD, and they generate an error/warning at the unicode check.
    These codepages are in table TCP00 and the characters are in TCP02.
    regards

  • Remove all media from one iTunes account from iTunes library

    Ah, love, marriage, divorce and the electronic age:  many years ago, my ex-wife authorized me to listen to her iTunes music on my computer.  Fast forward several years, through some divorce papers, and all the way to a new MBP that is now not authorized on her account.
    It seems every time I try to play iTunes music, I get prompted to enter her password to listen songs she purchased on her account that are selected by iTunes random setting.  It's difficult to individually find these songs and disruptive to work to constantly have to deal with it.
    Is there a way to delete all media associated with someone else's iTunes account from my computer?  For instance, is there a way to sort the library by media owner and then delete?
    Thanks in advance.
    (if it helps, I'm running Yosemite and iTunes 12.1.0.50)

    Any ideas that don't involve downloading 3rd party software?  Or at least rely on open source/freeware?
    Not really.
    You could get info on each individual file and see which iTunes account it was purchased with.
    Or you could write some AppleScript to do it (which is what Dougscripts are) .
