I have a significant number of items in the media content area of my project. I see that the items I use are marked with a green tick. Is there a way of filerting this view so I can just see the items that currently aren't being used? It would make it much easier to assemble the project. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As far as I know there is not a way to only show the unused items.

There is a way of removing the unused items, which is the opposite of what you want to do.

You can sort the Media library in many ways, but used/unused is not one of the sorts.

More options:

In the library room, you can create folders and add files group in each folder, so view content by folder.

Another way not recommended but can be done smoothly.

Drag a group of photos to the timeline long while this selected in the library, delete.

Thanks both for such timely replies. PlaySound the folder approach was how I expected to resolve it but I can't see how to create folders in the content area. Can you advise? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the picture, 1 Expand directory media room, 2 Create folder.

Select a folder, add a group of files, photos etc ...

option:

after created all folders, you can minimize directory media room, use the menu 3.

That works great a little bit cumbersome but it does the job. Perhaps I'll suggest a filter assuming there's a product feature request area somewhere. Many thanks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
