Is there a way to consolidate and backup only the used media out of the complete footage?
This is the media bin, I see the in's-out's are marked. I want to backup in a complete folder, the vf file with just the related clips.
How?
thank you.
Easy, make sure the media bin only holds media that has been used (to remove unused media first, "Tools-Clean Project Media". Then "Save As" and select "Copy media with project".
well.... not so easy, VMS copied the full raw clips and did not trim them even I set the handles to 2sec. It just ignored it with "to save quality..."
Maybe this process works only for MJpeg or other frame based codecs, and not gop's ones ?
But still, thank you for the point.
Yes, VMS backsup the whole original clip, trimmed parts are only saved when the antique DV codec is used. Setting those handles doesn't work for other codecs.
It's 2020 , a proper fix for that is in place. shouldn't be a major hurdle.

I think it isn't that easy. Even VegasPro doesn't have this option.
To program it is very easy, as most of it is already there. It's only in the decision how to re-encode and this can be set by the user as any render template.
If it's not in VP also than it's a weak point in an "alleged professional" NLE.
From all the NLE's I know and have experience with (VMS, Vpro, PD) there is no one who saves trimmed versions of used media. They always save the whole original media to avoid re-encoding and quality degradation, even PD, who's able to save a lot of video formats without re-encoding.
The only solution I know, but not familiar with, for Vpro is to use Vegasaur for trimming and rendering without re-encoding parts of the timeline. When you use these trimmed renders as media for your project, than you can backup those with your project.
Yesterday I was in a Premier Pro webinar (part of "Post|Production World Online") and there this feature was shown. Just as expected, with handles setting and transcode templates.
