Thanks for the answer. That isn't far from what I'm currently doing. For some reason I can't bring myself to delete source clips. And like you, I am beginning to run out of space on my 8TB drive. This stuff builds up so fast.

Many, many years ago I attended a marketing presentation from a Digital Equipment Corporation storage specialist. He recounted a story about someone who downloaded a printer driver. Those were the days of 300 baud dialup modems, and it took over an hour to download it. After all that time, he installed it and discovered that it was the wrong one, so he had to spend another hour downloading the proper version.

"And do you think he deleted that bad driver?", the presenter asked the audience. "No d@mn way! He spent an hour of his life downloading that driver, there was no way he was going to delete that sucker!".

The presenter looked over the audience, smiled, and said "I love the storage business!".
