16. Media Manager

A Final Cut Pro project may contain hundreds of clips and several sequences. The Media Manager lets you process media files in a variety of ways during the life of a project to free up media storage space or to move a project from one storage location to another. Another option in the Media Manager is to create an offline/online workflow where you may start with many hours of low-resolution media for editing, but only reingest the final durations of high-resolution media for finishing.
