Current functionality of Render & Replace will copy the entire source media file, even if the user has selected to transcode the media, trimmed to the clip lenght, + handles (if desired). This is extremely impratical beciase it creates duplicates of my source media which is exatly what I'm trying to get away from when R&Ring. Addidionaly, if you have very large source files (hour long interviews shot at 6K, for example), you can't use R&R becuase it will take forever to copy all this media and fill up unnecessary drive space.
I would like to use R&R as a way to create trimmed clips to send to a colorist, or VFX artist, for example, and this makes it totally impratical.
This full files are apparently copied so that Premiere may revert back to the full source media file, if the user decides to do so. I suggest that instead you:
- Add a checkbox which lets the user decide if they want to copy the entire media or not
- Just have the clips revert back to the original source media file - why does a copy need to be made?
- Remove this option to revet back to the source media entirely - its not necessary.
Please fix this, R&R is useless as is.
