114 Part I Media and Project Management
Note: Selecting “Include master clips outside selection” and “Include affiliate clips
outside selection” creates master clips that preserve the most media for recapturing.
During rough editing, you generally want to retain the largest possible media files, so
it’s a good idea to keep these options selected. If you are creating sequences for final
editing or capturing at high resolution, you may want to deselect these options.
Example: Recompressing Media Files for an Entire Project
for Editing on a Portable Computer
If you need to fit a lot of media files on a relatively small hard disk, such as a portable
computer hard disk, you can recompress all your media files. This is the phase of the
offline/online workflow when you create the low-resolution, offline-quality media files
for rough editing.
This example uses the OfflineRT sequence preset, which uses the Photo JPEG codec.
