move clip into new library X5 folder

How do I move a clip from the library it is in to a new (renamed) folder in VSX5 pro ultimate............Ken

You may remember Kenneth that the images in the library panes in VideoStudio are not the actual videos but are simply thumbnails holding a link to the video file - so the easiest way to "move" a clip between library panes is to simply delete the clip in the library you don't want - click on it to highlight it - press your keyboard delete key - agree the prompt - and it's gone. Then go to the new library and at the top is the import icon (looks like an opening folder) - then browse to your video file select it and click OK - and there it is in your new library.

It is not even necessary to delete the image in the old library , it can stay there, you can have the same video showing in as many libraries as you wish - so you could just import into any new libraries.

OK,
Thanks for that Brian, I was looking for a way(I could not find anything in the manual about this issue) to either just "move" or copy and paste but you have put me right!

Well you can do that as well - if you right over the thumbnail in the old library and choose 'Copy' - then go to your new library and right click and choose 'Paste' it has the same effect.

Additionally, I have found that you can drag from an open folder into another listed folder in the library
