Delete clips not used in arrangement

Post by subduct » Sat Sep 03, 2022 1:40 pm

I'm pretty untidy in session view and usually end up with a bunch of clips all over that are not used in my arrangement.
Is there a way to have Live purge all the ones that are unused in the arrangement view?

I can do it manually of course but I keep screwing that, and hence my arrangement, up!

Session view and arrange view are completely independent, so you can delete everything from session view and it won’t affect what you’re doing in the arrange view at all. After that, go to File, then collect all and save to a new location to only save the files you’re using in arrange view.

Unless I’m misunderstanding what you’re trying to do?

Thanks!
I hadn't understood the complete independence.
Maybe it would be an option to have in future, to link changes made to clips in session to the corresponding clips used in arrangement.
