Removing Media Files

How do I remove media files from my project?

Media can be removed from a project at the Windows level directly from the VideoFiles folder within your Project folder .

Note

While media files can be added to a project while it’s running, media files can not be removed while the project is running.

Once media has been removed from a project using this method, any layer within the project that is referencing the content that was removed will now appear red in the timeline:

To remove missing media from a project, follow these steps:

1. Open a layer that is referencing missing media
2. Left-click on the Video thumbnail in the Media tab of the layer to open the VideoClip library
3. Right-click on the ‘missing’ box at the top of the videoclips library window
4. Left-click on Remove Missing Resources. All missing media that is not referenced in any layer within the project will be removed from the VideoClips library.
5. If missing media is not removed from the VideoClips library at this point, this means that the clip is being referenced elsewhere in the project. Right-click on the red box for that media, and then left click on Find Usage to locate the instances where the media is still being referenced in the project.
