Visual QuickStart Guide [Electronic resources] : Final Cut Express HD for Mac OS X نسخه متنی

1.

Save your project and quit Final Cut Express.

2.

In the Finder, navigate to the project's Capture Scratch folder and select the media file you want to delete.

3.

Control-click the selected media file; then choose Move to Trash from the shortcut menu (Figure 4.31 ).

The source media file is moved to the Trash.

4.

Relaunch FCE and open the project.

If you have not previously deleted the clips that reference the source media file, you'll see the Offline Files window listing the media file you moved to the Trash.

5.

Click the Forget Files Movie button to update your FCE project's item tracking (Figure 4.32 ).

To finally delete the files, you'll need to empty the Trash manually. If you change your mind later, before you empty the Trash, and want to retrieve the files, drag them out of the Trash and reconnect them to your project by using the Reconnect Media command. If you empty the Trash, your files are finally deleted.

• You can delete render files in the same way. With your Finder window in Column view, you can preview each media file in the QuickTime preview utility built right into the file window. Select the clip you want to preview, and the QuickTime preview appears automatically. This trick works only in the Finder, thoughnot within the Reconnect dialog box in FCE.
