The Pool
Operations
Removing unused clips
This function finds all clips in the Pool that are not used in the project. You can then
decide whether to move them to the Trash folder (from where they can be
permanently deleted) or to remove them from the Pool:
1. Select “Remove Unused Media” on the Media or context menu.
A message appears asking you whether you want to move the file to the Trash or
to remove it from the Pool.
2. Make your selection.
Removing regions
To remove a region from the Pool, select it and select “Delete” from the Edit menu (or
press [Backspace] or [Delete]).
Ö For regions there is no alert if the region is used in the project!
Locating events and clips
Locating events via clips in the Pool
If you want to find out which events in the project refer to a particular clip in the Pool,
proceed as follows:
1. Select one or more clips in the Pool.
2. Select “Select in Project” on the Media menu.
All events that refer to the selected clip(s) are now selected in the Project window.
Locating clips via events in the Project window
If you want to find out which clip belongs to a particular event in the Project window,
proceed as follows:
1. Select one or more events in the Project window.
2. Open the Audio menu and select “Find Selected in Pool”.
The corresponding clip(s) are located and highlighted in the Pool.
Searching for audio files
The search functions can help you locate audio files in the Pool, on your hard disk or
on other media. This works much like the regular file search, but with a couple of extra
features:
1. Click the Search button on the toolbar.
A search pane appears at the bottom of the window, displaying the search
functions.
By default, the search parameters available in the search pane are “Name” and
“Location”. For using other filter criteria, see
“Extended Search functionality” on page
383.
2. Specify the name of the file(s) to search for in the Name field.
You can use partial names or wildcards (*). Note that only audio files of the
supported formats will be found.
