Can anyone explain to me what the use is of the Media Bin folder in the storyboard Tab in MSP8?

Thnx for reply. But if i'm not mistaken this chapter tells me everything about the production lib and storyboard but not about the subfolder named Media Bin in particular. But I still like working with this latest version of MSP. On the Ulead website there is very little information or no information at all about how to handle the new features in MSP8.

Anything you put in the PL Media bin stays over projects. When you put it in the PT equivalent, it is specific to the one project.

so does the PT media bin load faster than the PL media bin?

lol, sorry I mean when you start up MSPRO8. Right now my program is hanging up at the APS filters....I'm not sure if it's the filters or because of the Production Library.

However, I was wondering if it would make a differnece that instead of loading my video files into Production Library I used the Project Tray Media Bin instead, however after doing some more research it appears that the Project tray stuff wipes itself clean when you make a new project so that just won't work.

Video, sound and picture clips can be kept in one of two places.

1. The Production library tab which is a global tab.
Anything placed in here will be available to whatever project you are currently working on. Close that project and load or start another one and those items will still be there. If you always kept your clips here it would soon become cluttered or you would have to delete the various thumbnails.

2. The Project Tray.
Anything placed in here will be available only to this particular project.
Close it and open/load another project and they are gone.
Re-open that project and they are back.

These items are only pointers to where they are located on the Hard Drive, therefore there is no impact upon loading times.

Items like transitions, Video Filters, Sound Filters are mini add on programs which must be loaded with the main Media Studio Program otherwise they are unavailable for use. Therefore the more you have the longer it takes for the program to load.

See that's the thing is, I haven't added filters to the Project Tray or Production library. Technically the program should load at the same speed as when I first installed the program. But as soon as I added video files (and scanned and split by scened the video files) into the Production Tray (I want these files available to use for multiple projects) that's when I ran into problems. after I added 10, 45 minute videos (video size 350MB) and scanned and split by scene Media studio pro now takes about 45 minutes to an hour to open.

I'm not sure if this is a bug? And I want to repeat that I have not started any projects. I'm just opening the program. I think it's kind of odd taht the production library would affect how long it takes for the program to load. I just can't figure out what else it could be.

This is the answer I've been waiting for. Thank you. Makes life a lot easier.
