Does "clearing" clips from clip list remove from disc or just project?
High Sierra, i-Mac mid 2011
The subject line says it all. I have utilized the Shift Command U followed by Shift Command B and "Remove" and understand that doing so will not remove from disc, However I am not sure about clearing from clip list. Would appreciate your advice on this one. Thank you! |

Re: Does "clearing" clips from clip list remove from disc or just project?
I'm not in front of PT right now, but the two options in clip list are:
Remove - removes the clip from clip list, but audio stays in Audio files folder. Delete - if it's a whole-file (bold type) it will be deleted from the sessions audio files folder. But it will be retrievable from the trash (right-click - 'put back'). On mac, that is.

Thanks Ben for that info.
When I go to the clips list and right click on a clip there is a "clear" option. I will see what happens when I select that. If file disappears I'll check the trash. |

Re: Does "clearing" clips from clip list remove from disc or just project?
I think 'clear' means remove from session, like what I meant when I wrote 'remove'. There's also an option to 'delete' I think; which is the option that moves an audio file to the trash. This is if it's a whole-file, shown in bold type in the clip bin. All clips in non-bold are just parts of whole-files, and if you delete them, it ffects only that session file.

Close. REMOVE will clear it from the session but it will still be in your audio files folder on your drive. You can reimport it if you want. MOVE TO TRASH will clear it from the session and physically move the file to the trash. You can move it out of the trash and back in to the audio files folder if you don’t empty trash. DELETE will clear it from the session and permanently delete it off your drive. Be careful using this option. There is no undo. Quote:

Thanks very much for these helpful suggestions.
Here's another question. If I accidentally delete from drive, will a time machine backup be able to restore? |

It's been a few years since I used Timemachine, but here's how it basically used to work; You open the folder that the deleted file used to be in. In this case, the Audio Files folder in the session folder in question. In Timemachine menu item, choose "Go to Timemachine" or words to that effect. If it works like it used to, the active window will be 'zoomed' and there will be a vertical timeline on the right that will let you see the content of the folder in the past. Scroll back in time until you see the file(s) that you want to restore; right-click on them and select 'restore'. That's the basics, roughly. This is provided TM has been running to make backups, of course.
