3 Select all of the subclips that you created from the master clip you just deleted.
Important: The media for any subclips you don’t select will be lost. To be safe, you
can move all the subclips whose media you want to retain to one bin, and the
subclips you don’t want to preserve to a different bin. Then select the bin of subclips
you want to preserve.
4 Control-click one of the selected subclips, then choose Media Manager from the
shortcut menu that appears.
5 In the Media Manager, make the following selections:
6 Click OK.
The Media Manager creates a new media file for each selected subclip and reconnects
each subclip to the new media file. The original media file is deleted, so any subclips
not selected become offline.
Select this option.
Deselect the “Duplicate
selected item and place
into a new project”
checkbox.
Choose “Use existing”
from this pop-up menu.
Choose “clip names” from
this pop-up menu. This
option names your
media files using the
descriptive subclip
names instead of
numbered variations on
the original media
filename.
