Does Media Manager do anything to audio?Posted by stefangs
Deleting unused portions of video with the Media Manager makes archiving much lighter. AFAIKS, audio is untouched and passed onto the backup directory. Did I miss something? Perhaps the media manager thinks that throwing away some audio won't recover much disk space?

Nope. Trimming via MM doesn't seem to work with wav files. My guess is that it only trims QT files.

Thanks for the insight. Kind of a strange anti-feature considering that it's implemented in Logic. BWF may not have time code (not really sure), but it does have a time stamp, as such it would be easy to do (at least if FCP would still be a live product ;-))

Well, FCP is an old software, and it was designed to work with the QT container, I wasn't too surprised with that omission.

if media doesn't have a correct TimeCode track, then then re-conecting to it after it had been broken into smaller pieces would be almost impossible for FCP.
still, OMF's work passing truncated audio from FCP to DAWs of course they don't have the option of using the existing media. i always thought that FCP's reasoning was that if media did NOT have a TC track, then it did not come from a camera, and therefor it maybe the only instance of that media in the world, so chopping it up into smaller pieces was not a good thing to do. nick
