Rate clips as Favorite or Rejected
If your clips contain sections that you don’t like or that you might never want to use in a
project—because they’re blurry, for example—you can mark them as Rejected. You can easily
rate the clips you like and the clips you don’t like as you review them. When you’re ready to
make a project or play your clip for your client, you can focus on your best footage by choosing
to display only those clips you marked as Favorite. You can also delete your rejected clips’ source
media files to free up space on your hard disk.
