Home - Edit - Media

The Media component of the Edit module is where you're able to browse your "albums" for video content. Content includes still images and video files.

A quick note on albums: Albums are basically collections of shortcuts to files stored on your system. You can "add" files to an album, which basically means you add a shortcut. When you add an album component to the Storyboard, the program grabs the actual file. You can delete the contents of an album without worrying about affecting the actual files.

Okay, let's take a look at the options available under Media:

To add a file to the Storyboard, simply click it. Then, drag and drop it to the Storyboard.

Album
Use this pull-down to choose your album. To create a new album, choose "< New Album >". You can type a new name for your album (or rename any album) by simply typing over the existing name.

Open
Click this button to add files to your album. A standard Open window lets you browse your system for files to add.

Sort
Click this button to sort the content of your album.

Delete
Click this button to remove an album or thumbnail.

Right-Click Menu
The Right-Click menu provides quick access to useful and common commands and actions. To access the Right-Click menu, simply click the right mouse button on a media file thumbnail or group of selected thumbnails in the Thumbnail Display Area.
