Managing ScreenPal Files to Save Disk (Cloud) Space

ScreenPal files are very large; if you have many of them, you can easily fill up disk or cloud storage space unnecessarily. Fortunately, ScreenPal has a feature that allows you to export compressed archive files, which you can import into EchoVideo or save in your NEOMED OneDrive cloud storage (or on an external hard drive), then delete the large files from ScreenPal. If you ever need to edit one of these videos, you’ll simply import the compressed file back into ScreenPal.

Exporting Projects to a Compressed Archive File (.screenpal file)

1. Turn on Manage Video Projects by ticking the box.
   
2. Select the project(s) you want to export by clicking once on each project thumbnail (the selected projects will be highlighted with a red border).
3. Click the Export button, then click Browse and navigate to your local Computer or OneDrive folder.
   
4. Click OK and note the progress bar at the top of the ScreenPal screen.
   • NOTE: If you see an error in the progress bar, choose retry from the drop-down menu.

Delete Exported Projects to Recover Disk Space

1. Verify that you’ve backed up the projects you want to retain locally or in OneDrive first! (see steps above)
2. Turn on Manage Video Projects by ticking the box.

3. Select the project(s) you want to export by clicking once on each project thumbnail (the selected projects will be highlighted with a red border).
4. Click the Delete button.
5. Click the “# Deleted” drop-down and select “Commit Deletes” then “Yes, delete now” to completely remove the archived project and recover the temp disk space.
