3. Place the media in the desired location.

Remove Media from a Group

Open a group and drag media out of the group onto the timeline. If the media in the group was on its

own track, right-click the empty track and choose Remove track from the menu.

To delete a clip, open a group, select the media to be removed and press Delete on the keyboard. This

action deletes the clip from the entire project timeline.

Edit Media within a Group

Media in a group can be edited like other media on the timeline with two exceptions.

Tracks in a group cannot be locked.

When making a selection in an open group, everything on the timeline is selected. Lock any timeline

tracks you do not want to edits applied to.

Resize Group

Hover over either end of the group until the end highlights then drag the group in either direction.

Media touching the edge of the side being dragged automatically increases in duration if it is a media that:

1. Can be resized to any duration such as an image or callout.

2. Was previously trimmed or resized. However, the media can only increase up to its original duration.

For example, an audio clip that was two minutes was trimmed to one minute. When a group is resized,

this clip could increase to its full size of two minutes but not beyond that original duration.

Add a Group to the Library

Right-click on a group and choose Add asset to Library from the menu.
