Remove an item from the Project panel

Remove unused assets from the Project panel
You can remove assets you haven’t used in a Timeline panel from the Project panel.
❖
Do one of the following:
•
Sort the Project panel List view by the Video Usage or Audio Usage columns to identify unused clips, and then
select and delete them.
•
Choose Project > Remove Unused.
Edit cells in the Project panel
You can edit the data in the editable cells, whether for clip properties or XMP metadata, for any clip in the Project
panel. Premiere Pro stores data written to XMP metadata cells in the source files. However, it stores data written to
clip properties cells in the project file, not into the source files. Clip properties data do not travel with the source files,
and they are readable only by Adobe Premiere Pro.
By default, the Project panel displays only the clip properties. To write data that Premiere Pro stores in the source files,
first add metadata columns to the Project panel display. See “

About clip properties
Premiere Pro includes clip analysis tools that you can use to evaluate a file in any supported format stored inside or
outside a project. For example, after producing a video clip to be streamed from a web server, you can use clip analysis
tools to determine whether a clip you exported has an appropriate data rate for Internet distribution.
The Properties feature provides detailed information about any clip. For video files, analyzed properties can include
the file size, number of video and audio tracks, duration, average frame rate, audio sample rate, video data rate, and
compression settings. The Properties window will not show all these properties for every clip. The data shown in the
Properties window is determined by the file format of the clip being examined.
