User Manual

If you work in List view, you gain additional organizational control by exposing columns that
show the metadata that each clip contains, prior to media being added to your timeline. You can
use these columns to help organize your media.
Methods of customizing metadata columns in List view:
 To show or hide columns: Right-click at the top of any column in the Media Storage
browser and select an item in the contextual menu list to check or uncheck a particular
column. Unchecked columns cannot be seen.
 To rearrange column order: Drag any column header to the left or right to rearrange
the column order.
 To resize any column: Drag the border between any two columns to the right or left to
narrow or widen that column.
 To sort by any column: Click the column header you want to sort with. Each additional
time you click, the same header toggles that column between ascending and
descending sort order.
You can also customize column layouts in the Media Storage area. Once you’ve customized a
column layout that works for your particular purpose, you can save it for future recall.
Methods of saving and using custom column layout:
 To create a column layout: Show, hide, resize, and rearrange the columns you need
for a particular task, then right-click any column header in the Media Pool and choose
Create Column Layout. Enter a name in the Create Column Layout dialog, and click OK.
 To recall a column layout: Right-click any column header in the Media Pool and choose
the name of the column layout you want to use. All custom column layouts are at the
top of the list.
 To delete a column layout: Right-click any column header in the Media Pool and
choose the name of the column layout you want to delete from the Delete Column
Layout submenu.
Thumbnail View
While in Thumbnail view, you can scrub through a clip’s icon to see its contents, and you can
