Example: Consolidating Media Files into One Folder

Sometimes the media files for a project are stored in several folders on one or more
scratch disks. This happens if you selected a different scratch disk each time you
captured media files, or when the name of the project file changes (this often happens
when you save often to different filenames). The Media Manager makes it easy for you
to consolidate all the media files for a project into one folder, without making any clips
go offline.

In this example, you move all of the media files associated with one project to a
single folder.

1

If you want to save your media files to a new folder on your hard disk, create that folder
in the Finder.

2

In the Browser, select all items in the project.

Press Command-A
