Splitting Folders

You can split large folders into smaller folders. This allows
you to back up all of the clips in a large folder to media that is
not large enough to save the entire folder without splitting.
For example, you can split an 8 GB folder into two 4 GB
folders in order to save them on 4 GB DVD-R media. Note
that individual files in the large folder are not split.

Referring to Selecting Work Media and Work
Folders (A Page 10), select the folder to split
2
Select [Split Folder] from the [Edit] menu, or
click the Split Folder button in the toolbar
● The [Split Folder] dialog appears.
● Note that individual files in the large folder are not split.
Clips are assigned to the split folders in such a way that
the split folders have the specified size. This means that it
is not possible to specify a split folder size smaller than
the largest file in the original folder.
● It is also not possible to specify a split folder size smaller
than 4 GB.
3
Select the size of the split folders from the
drop-down list
4
Click [Start]
● You can select from 4 GB to 60 GB in increments of 4 GB.
● The folder is split into the minimum number of folders that
will produce the specified folder size, and clips are
assigned to the smaller folders. The folders produced as a
result of the split have the same name as the original
folder, followed by serial numbers.
Note ：
● Once it starts, a split operation cannot be canceled before
it finishes.
● Split clips may be assigned to different folders. If you
would prefer that split clips be assigned to other folders,
you can move them manually after the folder split.
