Tip: The film-strip symbol ( ) on a thumbnail indicates that
the media item is an animation, the key symbol ( ) indicates
that the still or animation has an alpha, and the speaker symbol
( ) indicates that the media item has audio associated with it.
Stills and animations can be loaded into a channel by
either selecting the channel and double-clicking on the
le, or by dragging a le and dropping it onto the
channel. When a channel or le is selected, the properties
for the animation or still can be viewed in the ITEM
DETAILS area.
Note: If the files on your USB are new, it takes about 2 seconds
per file for the switcher to generate the thumbnail for the
MediaManager. Once all the thumbnails are generated, they are
displayed in the MediaManager window.
Animation Controls
The MediaManager interface allows you to manually
control the play-out of an animation.
