The Items List

The Items List is a list of items that Dartfish is able to use. This includes video clips, images and Dartfish projects, each represented by its own icon examples of which are shown below:

- Video clips

- Picture files

- Analyzer projects

- SimulCam projects

- StroMotion projects

File management using the Items List

File management functions such as file renaming, deletion and copying can be carried out from the Items List. Display the range of options as follows:

1.	Point the mouse at the item(s) you wish to edit.

2.	Click the right mouse button. A context based "Quick menu" appears.

3.	Left click the function you wish to use.

The use of the Convert function is explained in the topic Converting video clips.


Opening video clips

There are three methods of opening a video file from the Items List:

1.	Point at the item and double click the mouse.

2.	Drag and drop the item from the Items List on to the video display. This method offers more flexibility when there is more than one video display to choose from.

3.	Drag and drop the item onto the Tray section of the Library module. From here it can be added to the video display as needed.

Opening Projects

Projects must be opened using the relevant Dartfish module. Either the appropriate module is opened first or, if a project item is double clicked (method 1 above), the appropriate module will start, closing the current module if necessary.


Opening Images

Image files can be opened by double clicking them however they will not be opened into Dartfish, instead the default image viewing software on your computer will be used.
