Media clip management
First Claim
1. A computer readable medium storing a media-editing application for execution by at least one processor of a device, the media-editing application comprising sets of instructions for:
- for each of a plurality of media files imported into the media-editing application, creating a media clip that references the media file stored in a storage of the device;
receiving addition of a particular media clip, that references a particular media file, to a composite presentation and creating a new media clip within the composite presentation that references the particular media file;
at a later time after the addition, identifying that the new media clip no longer references the particular media file;

Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for editing a composite presentation in a media-editing application. The method receives a media file to import into the media-editing application from an external device. The method creates a set of media clip data structures to represent the media file. At least one of the data structures references the media file on the external device. Before the media file is imported from the external device, the method uses the media clip data structure to edit a composite presentation with the media file. After the media file is imported from the external device, automatically modifying the data structure to refer to a copy of the media file on a local device.
