The Media Import window displays the media on your device. You can play back your

display just photos, or video clips and photos, use the pop-up menu in the middle-right
area of the window.

the top of the browser. You can skim to any frame in the filmstrip and set start and
end points.
• Sort clips in list view by data such as duration, creation date, rating, keyword, and
file type: Click the column headings at the top of list view. Control-click column
headings to add additional columns. For more information about list view, see Import
