Managing Media in the Library

After you have obtained the media files you want to work with, the

next step is to add them into the Library (where they become media

“clips”) in order to make them available for your movie. Once your

clips are loaded, you can change the display of your media clips in

the Library and delete unnecessary clips.

Load Clips into the Library

When loading media clips into PowerDirector’s Library, you have

two options: to load media files individually, or to load an entire

folder that contains media files you want to use in your current

project.

Note: PowerDirector’s file format support varies, depending on

version. For information on the availability of specific features in the

PowerDirector version that you are using, please check the Readme

file.

Load Individual Media Files

To specify individual media files to load into the Library, do this:

1. Click to open the Media Room.

2. Select the type of media you want to load (or All Media) from

the Filter drop-down list.

Note: By selecting a media type (other than All Media) in this drop-

down list, you restrict the type of media displayed in the Library, and

consequently, the type of media that you can import.

3. Click and select Load Media File(s). A dialog box opens.

4. Locate and open the file(s) you want to add. Thumbnails of each

of the media files you have selected appear in the Library.
