Managing Clips in the

Workspace

Once you have loaded media files into the Library, they are ready

to be used in your movie. You can load different types of media

clips into the different tracks in the workspace, move them to

different locations in your story, and delete them from the

workspace.

Add a Clip to the Workspace

The different types of media clips may only be added to specific

tracks. The sections below describe the procedures for adding

each kind of media clip into the workspace.

Note: You may prefer to add clips in Storyboard view, since

this view is simpler than the Timeline view. However,

clips can only be added to the Video track in this view.

Therefore, this section uses the Timeline view in all of

the procedures.

Add Video & Image Clips

You can add video and image clips to either the Video track or

the PiP (picture-in-picture) track. To create the basic framework

of your movie, add video and image clips to the Video track.

Add clips to the PiP track only to create a picture-in-picture

effect.

Note: For more information on using PiP effects, see Replace

an Effect in the Timeline on p.73 and Modifying a PiP

Effect on p.79.

To add video or image clips to the workspace, do this:

1. Click to open the Media Room in the Library.

2. Select Video, Image, or All Media from the Filter drop-

down list to sort the clips in the Media Room.
