media files and other library information.

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.
