Hi Matt,
Your first item is a DS 'endearing feature'
;-)
So is your second.
However there is a workaround for #2:
1. Dip inside the Timewarp Container and
place Clip Markers either side of the start and end markers
2. Put the freshly marked clip into a
Background Container
3. Razor the clip on your markers and
delete the unwanted bits.
Step 2 can be ignored in many circumstances but it doesn't
take long to do and avoids nasty surprises.
Regards,
Tone :)

Q
Greets
This question has to do with deleting clips that
have been imported, but linked, not copied, into a project. My query
is: If I import and link 20 clips but only use ten, (or none for that matter),
how do I break the link to the remaining clips? In other words, I always end up
with all twenty going into the archive, when I only need the ten to restore it
properly. I have deleted the clips (data), emptied recycle bin, yet the
link/path remains. Is this a RTFM issue?
A second purge/archive thought is wouldn't it be
great to have a dialouge box that would allow one to purge material from
containers (timewarp/expand-contract), perhaps giving it handles, but deleting
unused part of the clip....would be a huge time saver.
Any thought would be appreciated as
always.
cheers
Matt
