Media Management
Media Tab in the Project Window
The Media tab in the Project window provides access to the Media Files of the current Project and to all
Media Files that can be accessed by Media Management (see also Media Volumes (Directories) on
page 333).
 The left-hand area of the window contains a hierarchical tree (arranged by All Media Streams and
All Still Media on a Project- and Reel-specific basis); the area on the right contains the Media Files.
 The current Avid Liquid Project is in the top position. Any other Projects that Media Management
was able to find when scanning the registered Media Directories are initially displayed as closed
folders.
 When the Projects are opened (by double-clicking), the next sorting level, the Reel level, is dis-
played. When you click a Reel name, only the Media Files for this particular Reel are displayed in
the right-hand area of the window.
 Double-click the Media Files in the right-hand field to load them in the Clip Viewer and (if neces-
sary and depending on network capacity) play them back - and even to send them directly to
your Timeline.
Media Management scans all available media directories whenever you click the Media tab (refresh func-
tion). To induce a refresh while working in the Media tab, click one of the other tabs and come back to
the Media tab. If you want to refresh while working on the Media tab, select Refresh View or Rescan Direc-
tories from the Media tab shortcut menu (page 330)
