Project Video What is it for?

Using VS X2

Using the drop down arrow and between the Image library and the Windows Media Library there is a category entitled Project Video.Is this for a prescribed purpose, if so what is it please? If not what do users use it for?

I think Corel created that Category for those that like nesting video files. Nesting involves using the project files (VSP, or can be vsx, which is the file created by automatic backups). You can click on the folder in that category, and navigate to where your project files are located and import them into the Project Video Library. Then just drag and drop them onto a video track. Your VSP file will then be treated as a single video clip.

This can be very useful when the project you're working on uses say all the overlay tracks and you still need more. So you could then save a project file, open a new project, and then insert the project file with the full overlay tracks into the library or directly onto a video track of your new project. Another way is to start a new project to use just for the extra tracks needed, when done save it. Then open your main project file, and proceed from there.

Better example yet, let's say you have created a composite effect using various filters and effects. Save this as a project file. Then using the Project Video Library import that file. It's there for you to use multiple times in a project. You need only to drag it to the timeline.

Thank you for the explanation. Not sure that I will need to make use of it but nevertheless useful to know in case I do

Yes it is nice to know... It would have been nice for Corel to at least have some mention of it in the Help file or the User Guide.. The only way I knew, or figured it out, was to try and import something into it. VSP or vsx are the only file types it will accept..
