The Library
The library is a storage depot for everything you need to create a movie: video clips, audio
clips, still images, transition effects, music files, titles and color clips. These are collectively
known as media clips. You can think of the Library as a general manager for all of the pieces
of your project.
Adding media clips to the Library
1. Click the Load clip button to open a dialog
box for locating the media clip to insert in
the Library.
2. Select the desired file.
3. Click Open when you are finished.
The type of clip that can be inserted depends on which step you are working on (e.g. Title or
Music). The most convenient way of working with clips is using your mouse. If you want to
add clips to, or use clips from the Library, first select the desired clip, then drag and drop it to
its destination. You can even drag and drop files right from Windows Explorer into the Library
panel.

Deleting media clips from the Library
