What is that feature called where you can save your finished project with only the content that was used in the project, automatically?

Where can I find that please?
Thanks

Hello,

I see that you are using ProRes 422 LT files.  For this use, you should try our Premiere Pro plugin "PlumePack" that we are developing at Autokroma.

It's like a Project Manager, but with a special feature : trimming. For your ProRes files, it only keeps the used part of the media without re-encoding. So you keep the same codec, exact same quality (no re-encoding) and you files will be lighter because of unused frame removed. You can keep a bit more than the used part with a "handle" parameter .

Best,

Nicolas from Autokroma

Pretty straight foward.

Collect Files and copy to new location is mainly used to back up your project with your original media files. Collecting everything to place them in a single location. Most of the time a hard drive for storage purpose.

 

Consolidate and transcode let you transcode what is on your timeline ( by sequence or by individual shot ). The interest is to reduce the duration of asset by transcoding only the used parts ( you can put handles in order to have a little room to edit later if needed).

 

Some use it for other purpose but it's mainly what it does depending on what are your back up rules or needs.
