How can you identify unused clips in the Project panel?

Identifying unused clips in the Project panel is best accomplished by sorting the Project panel list view by the Usage columns. This method provides a clear and systematic way to see which clips are not currently being utilized in the timeline or in any sequences within your project.

When you sort by the Usage column, it will display information regarding how many times each clip has been used in the project. Clips that have a usage count of zero are the unused clips, making it easy to manage your project resources, keep your workspace organized, and potentially reduce file clutter.

The alternative methods, such as manually browsing through the list or relying on the Preview Area, are far less efficient and can be time-consuming, particularly in projects with a large number of clips. The ability to sort and quickly identify these clips is a key functionality in Premiere Pro, facilitating smoother editing workflows.
