clean up files in project?

PostWed May 18, 2016 3:59 am

ok, just finished large project that had me importing 100's of stills, interview snippets, etc.,

edit is finished and i would like to backup the whole project WITHOUT unused media - of which there is a lot...

in vegas it was a simple click 'clean media'. how do i go about doing something similar in resolve, since i'm trying to avoid going through the whole project clip by clip ;-)

thanks marc, an interesting and perhaps a very useful option since i only casually glanced at it in the manual.
