Media Pool
The structure and functioning of the Media Pool is similar to Windows Explorer with
the only difference being that the Media Pool only displays usable files. This is used to
access and load multimedia files of all kinds: photos and other image files, video files,
audio files, transitions, titles, effects, and also complete projects.
Note: The Media Pool displays the files on your hard drive. If you delete files here,
you won't be able to find them again using Windows Explorer.
If you hover the mouse pointer over a media file, three icons for the options will
appear: preview, range import and complete import.
• Preview: All available media can be previewed using the preview function. If you
click on the playback icon, the file will be played back in the preview monitor.
Video and image files are displayed and audio files are played back through the
sound card. There are previews for the templates and effects included to make it
clear how they will function.
• Range import: You can define an import range using buttons for setting an in- and
out-point in the source monitor.
• Complete import: This button will import the complete file into the Arranger.
