78 LESSON 4 Organizing Your Content
Tagging clips to Places
e NASA clips we’re using in this book took place in two basic places: e launch
occurred at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and the other location is somewhere
in outer space that, as near as I can tell, Google hasn’t yet incorporated into Google
Earth. Give it time. Even though the launch and landing took place at Kennedy
Space Center, because over 50 Shuttle landings have occurred at Edwards Air Force
Base in California and we want to tag two different places in this exercise, we’ll tag
the landing at Edwards Air Force Base.
At a high level, you’ll create two Places in the Organizer—one for launch and one
for landing—and then associate some clips with each place. en, working from
the Organizer’s Google Maps view, you can click a place and see all clips associated
with that place. Let’s jump in.
1 On the Organizer’s top toolbar, click Places (
).
2 On the Organizer’s bottom toolbar, click Add Places (
).
3 In the Add Places Search field, type Kennedy Space Center and click Search.
Note that if you were typing in a street address, you would type in the address
as you would on an envelope. For example, if you shot video at the White
House in Washington, DC, you could either type in e White House or 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500.
4 If Google Earth finds two locations, click John F. Kennedy Space Center, Florida,
USA, not the Visitor Center. e Organizer will create a placeholder into which
you will drag all media shot from that location.
5 Hold down the Ctrl key (Windows) or Command key (Mac OS) and click all
the pictures and video in the media bar atop the Add Places dialog associated
with that location. Our selections don’t have to match precisely, but I selected
all take-off related pictures and videos that showed the Shuttle on or near the
ground, and didn’t select space or landing shots. is totaled six videos.
