• Select Scan For Assets in the Import From panel to select one or
more folders and import all assets of the desired types that are
found in those folders.
Selecting files for Import
When you select My computer in the Import From panel, the job of
selecting the files to import belongs to the folder and asset-file
browser in the central area of the display.
A single import operation can take in multiple types of files from
multiple source folders. Each selected file will be copied to the
correct folder for its asset type (as specified in the Import To panel).
The folder and file browser
The left hand column of the browser is
a hierarchical view of all folders on all
file-storage devices attached to your
computer. These devices include hard
drives, optical disc drives, memory
cards and USB sticks.
Navigation in this “folder tree” is
similar to that in Windows Explorer
and other programs. Folders containing
other folders are indicated by a plus sign to the left of the name
when they are closed and by a minus sign when they are open. Click
the sign to open out (“expand”) or close down (“collapse”) a folder’s
list of subfolders.
Only one entry in the folder tree can be highlighted at a time. Any
media files or project files contained in that folder are immediately
listed in the larger, right-hand division of the browser. You can
preview files on the spot, and earmark those you intend to import by
checking the box at the top right of corner of each file icon.
