Project Manager tool that makes consol¬
idating, moving and archiving content
easier. All files associated with a project
can be quickly collected and saved as a
new project in a separate location. The
Project Manager also can reduce the size
of a project by excluding unused clips,
preview files and conformed audio files
even unused portions of clips in a
project. Media files can be automatically
renamed to match the clip names in the
project for clearer association.
