Where Library? Where Projects Manager?

[Traskmif]

Am I right in thinking there can only be one project open at a time? So no 'manager' is needed? Just open and save each project one at a time?

Where is the library? I find lots of info about it except where it is. How do I view it?

While it is sort of true you can only open one project at a time, you can have a project open, with all the clips in the timeline, but you can then insert one or more vsp project icons for other projects into the timeline. This is called nesting.

When you look at the VS screen, you would normally have, in the top left half of the monitor screen the preview screen. Opposite it, in the top right half, is the Library. There is a library for clips, photos, sound and music, but also below that for transitions, FX etc.

Thanks. Somehow I've lost that while reconfiguring my layout. If I go back to default layout I see it. But how do I toggle it to show in my new layout?

You click the F7 button to toggle back to default view or go to Settings > Layout Settings > Switch To

Thanks.

Okay, I've found the way to show the library which I'll post here for anyone stuck with the same problem.

There is a panel with Edit - Effect - Color - Lens Reflection at the top (though I think this can change so just check each panel.) In the bottom right corner are three icons that can reveal/hide the library.

But note: there are near invisible (in the default theme dark grey on near-black) vertical dividing lines and if they are dragged over then the library may still be invisible, so watch for that.
