    <title>Selecting unused files</title>
      <p>You may sometimes find that you have imported more clips that you needed in your project. <app>Pitivi</app> allows you to select files that are present in the media library but not in the timeline. There are various reasons to do this:</p>
      <list>
          <item><p>Improving performance when loading the project</p></item>
          <item><p>Simplifying your editing workflow</p></item>
          <item><p>Check which clips you may have forgot to use in your movie</p></item>
          <item><p>Backup or share your project more easily</p></item>
      </list>
      <p>To identify which clips are not being used in your project, use <guiseq><gui>Library</gui><gui>Select Unused Media</gui></guiseq>. Unused clips will then be selected in the media library. If you want to remove them from your project, use <guiseq><gui>Library</gui><gui>Remove from Project</gui></guiseq>.</p>
      <note><p>If there are no unused clips in your project, nothing will be selected in the media library.</p></note>
