When importing using the import buttons, you can set (view page 47) various
insertion modes.
You can also load files from the Media Pool by dragging & dropping them. You can
even drag & drop entire folders into the Arranger. If you want to load several files
simultaneously, you first have to select them in the Media Pool.
• Click on the selected entries one after the other while holding down "Ctrl".
• If you want to load a sequence of files, hold the "Shift" key and click on the first
entry and then on the last. All entries in between will be selected.
• By holding down the left mouse button you can drag out a selection box over
multiple image files to select them. "CTRL + A" selects every entry contained in a
Media Pool folder.
Tip: Improve access to your media folder by creating a link in the "Import" area of
the Media Pool. You can do this by right-clicking on one of the entries and selecting
"Create link". Select the media folder and click "OK" to confirm.
Note: All links are automatically deleted if the function "Reset standard program
settings" ("Edit" menu > "Settings") is used.
Preview function
A preview function for all of the files in the Media Pool can be started by double
clicking or by pressing the playback button on the source monitor.
The transport control function in the source monitor allows you to select sections
from a longer video file in the Media Pool and load them. Read the "Add objects into
the project" (view page 64) section.
