Hello, 

 

Beginner in editing here. 

Probably a simple question, how do i delete unused footage after i trimmed them?

So i have clip, almost 15 minutes long. 

I've only used 2 minutes of the footage. 

Now i want to share the project with someone else trough google drive, however the file is almost 20 gb because of the footage in the bin, that i didn't use. 

How do i get rid of it?

 

Thanks

If your media is long-GOP, either H.264 or H.265/HEVC, Premiere can't trim it and will include the whole clip. Due to issues with the structure of long-GOP encoding, where to "show" any particular frame, you may need to decode/decompress and compute up to 30 frames or more either side of the end from the data-set structure used.

 

Very, very few frames in long-GOP actually are "real" frames of complete image data.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

Hello Naveen, 
If you go to File > Project Manager you can media manage your project to only have the files you used and get rid of anything else.  That should solve it.
