Re: How do you keep heads and tails without keeping media from other projects?

Jody,

In the purge media dialogue box you should check maximum storage 
recovery and select another box to retain 'xx' frames heads and tails.  
I'm sure this option only becomes un greyed out when you select 
'maximum storage recovery'.

However - be prepared for the long wait you described.  I would always 
try to delete unreferenced media before actually playing with the media 
of the edit itself.

Another thing is that if you know you are going to be short on storage 
space then conform your job with much smaller handles than you would 
ideally like to use (ie 5 frames rather than 50).  Is it really 
necessary to conform on an adrenaline?  If you do then conform from the 
decomped sequence but send the un-decomposed sequence to the DS... It 
give you more options when revealing media that extend beyond the 
handles you specified in the decomped seq.
