Why Is Your Project Getting So Big?

Because all still images are saved within the “StillStore” subdirectory inside your project
bundle, you may notice that your project takes longer to back up than it used to if you
save a lot of still images. If you need to reduce the size of the project file, you should
delete as many unused Still Store images as you can.

Saving Still Store Images in Subdirectories

By default, whenever you save a still image, it’s saved in your project’s internal “StillStore”
subdirectory and appears in the Still Store bin along with all the other stills you saved.
All stills in the Still Store bin appear in the order in which they were created, with the
newest stills appearing last.

You can also organize your saved stills into subdirectories. You might create individual
subdirectories based on the date of work, the scene stills are saved from, or any other
organizational means of your own devising.

To create a custom subdirectory in the Still Store bin

1

Click the Still Store tab.

2

Click New Folder.

3

When the New Folder dialog appears, enter a name in the “Name of new folder” field,
then click Create.

A new subdirectory appears inside of the “StillStore” directory within your project bundle
and becomes the currently open directory to which all new still images are saved.

Important:

You cannot move still images into subdirectories once they’ve been created.

To save new stills in a subdirectory, you need to navigate the Still Store bin to that directory
before saving any new stills.

Removing Images from the Still Store

Saved images can stack up pretty quickly in the Still Store, so you want to make sure you
regularly remove all unnecessary stills.

To remove an image from the Still Store

1

Click the Still Store tab.

2

Select the still image you want to remove.

3

Press the Delete or Forward Delete key.

4

Click Yes in the warning dialog that appears, to confirm that you really do want to delete
the selected still image.

You cannot undo the deletion of a still from the Still Store.
