Chapter 8 Administration
Media Files: Views and List Headings
The Media Files can be displayed as Picons and in the form of a list. You can sort each column (in the
Detail (List) View) and edit the list. (See also “Objects in the Project” on page 238.)
Right-click a free space in the right-hand area of the window or click the button at the top of the Project
window to display the shortcut menu for the Media tab. Select Detail View followed by one of the follow-
ing options:
File based -
This view displays all the file-specific information such as the directory path, video bitrates
(compression), audio bit rates, etc.
Each individual
Media File gets one entry (one line). The object icon is displayed on the left.
This view is recommended for identical files or for video with synchronous audio because it
allows you to access the individual Media Files directly (see also Identical Media Files on
page 323).
Clip based -
This view combines several identical Media Files in a single clip.
Example: A video clip with two Audio Source Tracks (VA1A2) gets only one list entry.
Mixed -
This option combines the two views mentioned above. The first line contains the clip informa-
tion with the associated file-based information listed below it.
For a description of additional menu functions, see “Edit View” on page 240.
List Headings
The list headings (the individual columns) are basically identical to those offered on the Clips tab.
However, note the following differences:
Name -
An optional name for the Media File corresponding to the name with which the file was digitized
(not to be confused with the system name, which is specified in the File column).
Tag s -
The number specified in this column indicates the number of clips in the current Project or in the
Sequence on the Timeline that are referenced to this Media File.
0 means: This file is not used by any clip(s). (See also page 330.)
Tag s are not updated automatically. Reset and start a new count for fresh results. For a correct count of
used media be sure to choose the Clip Based viewing mode (page 328).
