Consolidating Projects
Consolidating a Composition is a method of reducing the storage space used by Media files and of bringing all ele-
ments of the Composition together to move it to another machine or storage medium. The Consolidate function
makes a selective backup of the media used in the Composition. Instead of backing up the whole of every media
file referenced by the Clips in a composition, Consolidate backs up only those parts of the media files that are ref-
erenced by the Clip segments.
