Naming, finding, and deleting items
Premiere helps you manage the clips and other items in your project by giving you tools
to rename, find, and delete items.
To manage project items:
Do any of the following:
To rename a clip or bin, select the item, choose Clip > Alias, type the new name, and then
•
click OK. In List View, you can also select the name and type a new one.
To view a clip's original name or change its alias, select the item in the Project, Bin, or Library
•
window and choose Clip > Alias. Type a new name or click None to remove the alias.
To rename an original file on disk, exit Premiere and rename the file using the Explorer
•
(Windows) or Finder (Mac OS). The next time you open the project that uses the renamed
file, Premiere will ask you to locate the file (see "Opening a project" on page 68).
To delete an item from a Project, Bin, or Library window, select the item, and then press
•
the Delete key.
To delete all clips in a project that are not currently used in the Timeline, choose Project >
•
Remove Unused (see "Removing unused frames from source clips" on page 69).
Note: Because Premiere stores references to clips and not the originals, deleting a clip from a project,
bin, or library removes it from the project and Timeline (if it was included there) but does not delete
the corresponding original source clip from your hard disk.
To rename or delete a library, first close its window if it is open. Switch to Explorer
•
(Windows) or Finder (Mac OS), and rename or delete the library from there.
To find any item in a project, bin, or library, based on the contents of any column in the
•
Thumbnail or List View, select the window you want to search and choose Project > Search.
Specify options as needed and click Find.
