The Tray

The Tray is a working area for the collection of video files currently being used. It allows you rapid access to files you want to analyze and provides a method for taking files from one module to another.


Additionally, organizing items into the Tray is the first step for:

Sharing video files (see Sharing video files).

Archiving and Backing up video files (see Archiving or backing-up your video files).

Adding clips to the Tray

Items will appear in the Tray when:

Video clips are opened from the Items List.

New clips are captured from a video camera.

Video clips are added by drag & drop from the Items List.

Clearing the Tray

Selected items are removed from the Tray by clicking the Clear button.


If no files are selected the entire content of the Tray is cleared.


File management using the Tray

The items appearing in the Tray are a representation of the original file so unsurprisingly, the file management functions available to items in the Items List (see The Items List) are also available to items in the Tray.

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.
