Using the Library
The Library is a storage depot for everything you need to create a movie: video clips, photos,
audio files, instant project templates, transitions, titles, filters, graphics, and tracking paths.
Create a custom library for your project. You can select, add, and delete media in the Library.
If the media files are moved from their original location, you can automatically restore the
links. Remember to export the library to create a backup on the hard drive or an external
storage device. You can then import the library at a later time.
After completing a project, you can reset the Library to restore the default media clips. The
files you added will be deleted from the Library, but not from their original location. You can
always choose to re-import your media files into the Library.
