What in heavens name do I do with all this "stuff"! Now that I made my first project, I have all those "clips" in the video library just eating up my hard drive.
Storage Suggestions would be helpful . . . please!

Hi Bunny --
Yes: You would have the original captured file, at 13GB per hour, and any newly-created .AVI file (after editing) which might be the equivalent size, another 13GB per hour. Then you rendered that 13GB file and created an MPEG-2 file about 1/3 the size, or 4.3GB. Then you possibly created an .ISO file, for multiple burnings of DVDs without having to go through authoring each time. That's another 4.3GB.
So it does add up. I haven't mentioned the project (.VSP) files, very small but containing all your cuts, titles, overlays, etc. And there's more.
If what you wanted was just the final project, you can delete all the above. You can save the source material (a home videotape, for example).
If you're considering coming back to the raw material, the captured .AVI file, someday, then you'll have to find some way to save that, possibly on a large external hard drive.
Did I understand what you were asking?
