Hello,
I'm trying to use Media Management to consolidate a project. It's a couple of hundreds of GBs and I would like to trim the clips to save some space. Not because it's too heavy but because the project needs to be transferred to a remote location via web, so the less unused data, the better.
So I open Media Management, set the options to Timelines, selected Copy, but the "Relink to new files" option is available only when "Copy only used media files" is selected. This would save some space but not enough. When I select "Copy and trim used media keeping n frame handles" this relink option is not available. This option actually reduces the project size a lot, is perfect, except for the fact that it doesn't link the trimmed files to the timeline, so it's kinda useless.
Am I doing something wrong? I really think this is fundamental and can't get it working. I hope I'm not the only one having this issue and the real problem is between the chair and the keyboard, but please shed some light on me because I cannot figure out how to reduce the project size for transferring.
I'm using Resolve 14.1 Studio on Linux (Fedora). The files are R3D but I tried with a couple of different formats and the Media Management behavior is the same.
Lots of thanks in advance,
Orlando.
