Consolidate works for me only in simple projects... one sequence, AVI files (HQ or DV) and wav audio...
don't try consolidating if your project contains mpeg or mp3 files...

yes, attach an external USB hard disk and copy paste the project, then delete it from local drive

consolidate can bite you, don't use it unless you are 100% sure that there is no HDV file, no mpg file, no ac3, no m2v, no m2p, no mpa, no wmv, no QT etc. on the timeline

Not alot left then?


I will just keep on buying ex.drives for now
Just had delivered another 1TB drive at a cost of £150.00
So not to bad if that cost is spread across all the projects and work in The 1TB
Drive
Thanks for all of your help as always.
Hope GV can see these threads and will sort something out for future releases.
