Library Manager

Post by juliart08 »

First I want to say that I have come along way since I started because of this forum. Thank you for all you excellent help.

My problem now is every time I go to open a project I have all my clips from all my projects in them. I thought there would be away to save only the clips that I would be using on that particular project. I tried "Library Manager" but I have no idea what it does. I checked the manual and as usual it is clear as mud. I just want to have the clips somewhere that I can use on each project separately. Pull them up only. At least I used the "Sort Clips by Date" to help me get them in the right order for editing.

The video libraries are not project specific. Once you import clips into a library, they are there available for any and all projects.

You can create new libraries through the library manager. Open the manager then under the appropriate library (video for video clips, image for photos, and so on), click on the new button, provide a name and then press close.

So to keep all clips together for a specific project, insert those clips into a created library named by what the project is about. For example if you have a project about a grandchild's first steps, create Libraries for the video and photos, calling it granddaughter or grandson first steps. Then import the clips into that library. The libraries will still be there for any project opened, however you can quickly go to the library for the project you're working on...

Well, I tried what you said and made a separate library but have no idea how to import the video and images to that file. I don't know where it is. Also the only thing that is in the Library Manager is New, Edit, Delete, and close. How do I import to it. No way that I can see.

After creating the new Video Library, go to it using the pull-down menu. The same menu that is used to go to all the various libraries. Then click the Folder icon, just like in the Main Video Library to import your clips..

Have a look at this tutorial. The images show just how to create new libraries, and to import/load media into them.
