Viewing Production Library thumbnails
The Production Library toolbar has two buttons which allow you to
control and organize your clips. Click the Thumbnail Display Mode button
and select Description to view an annotated description or select Thumb-
nail to only see a graphic representation.
The Menu button opens a pop-up menu which provides additional com-
mands for viewing the properties of a selected thumbnail, as well as
editing, deleting, and customizing the Production Library preferences (this
menu can also be accessed by right-clicking on a thumbnail). When custom-
izing the preferences, you can choose to control the size of the thumbnails
as well as to display or hide the name below each of the thumbnails. If you
want to maximize the space available for displaying thumbnails, click the
Preferences command and in the dialog box that opens clear the Show
border option. The Search command allows you to search for particular
thumbnails, while the Sort command allows you to sort them based on
their name, description, or annotation.
Adding effects to the Production Library
In the Production Library, you can edit any clip or effect without having
to first insert it into the Timeline. This is a great way to define and save
unique attributes for clips and effects and allows you to expand and
customize the Production Library indefinitely.
To modify and add an effect:
1. Select the thumbnail.
2. Right-click the thumbnail and click the Edit command found on the pop-
up menu.
3. Specify the attributes in the dialog box for that thumbnail.
4. Click the Add button.
5. Enter a name below the Thumbnail and click OK.
