Final Cut Pro Tutorial: Media Manager Part 2

[inspiredkk]

Great little video tip, thanks, haven't checked out media manager in FCP X yet, is it the same?

[brightstreetvideos]

Does media manager move your captured scratch as well?

Just what I was looking for! Thank you!

im having the same problem and i read something about you have to give it a reel name and do something with the timecode??? Still need help with this because i cant figure it out

[bobbyladd]

I think you've got the answer!! As a test I right clicked one of the media files, went to 'item properties' and then 'logging info' and made sure it had a reel name and timecode. I added a reel name and tried the DV sequence again - it went from 1.8Gb to 120MB!! Cheers! Hope it works for you too.

@bobbyladd this works great! thanks!

@Ps3Legend4U Okay I think I figured it out: if you have problems deleted the unused media: right click on the sequence and select 'Make Sequence Clips Independent' then try media manager. This worked for me!!! Don't have to hassle with that reel name BS!

bobby I have the same problem

[bobbyladd]

I don't know what's wrong with mine, but it just won't reduce in size. Even when I click on a 4 second clip on the timeline and go to media manager, it says its 14GB - ie the original clip size! (delete unused media is clicked, so that's not the problem)

Make Sure the

"INCLUDE MASTER CLIPS OUTSIDE SELECTION" box is not checked, highlighted or selected then it will do it's job

@bobbyladd - After some experimenting, I found out what may be causing problems for you. I had to put the clips I wanted to import into my Capture Scratch folder, then import them, then give them a Reel name (right click>item properties>logging>click in reel name). Just straight up importing media clips to use, even giving them a reel name, didn't work. Thumbs up if this helps so others see it. btw, great tutorial!
