An additional user-configured filter appears above the File Pane. This is a ‘smart filter’ which
quickly locates files matching criteria you enter, doing so even as you type. If you enter “goal”
into the filter field, the File Pane displays all files at the current location with that text string in
their filenames, and so on.
CONTEXT MENUS
Right-click a Location listed under My Media Locations to show a context menu with two items in
it. Remove de-lists the location (but does not delete the folder and its contents from the hard
drive or other volume where it is located). Browse lets you use the system file browser to add
files.
Note: This menu is exclusively for use in the “My Media Location” section, and is not available for
other headings in the Location List.
Right-click on a file icon in the right-hand pane to show a menu providing Rename and Delete
options. Be warned – Delete really does remove content from the hard drive (this menu is not
shown if the selected item is write-protected).
11.2 MEDIA ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
The integrated Media Browser native to NewTek live production systems is a competent asset
management system, enabling to quickly locate and work with files related to your sessions, or
external files. Of course, more extensive media asset management systems provided by leading
industry providers are also available within the NewTek ecosystem.
To utilize your favorite (supported) third-party asset management systems, you need simply hold
down the keyboard Ctrl key when invoking a file browser. For example, clicking ADD MEDIA with
Ctrl depressed will show your compatible custom asset management interface, rather than the
native Media Browser.
Hint: Alternatively, you can open a standard system file explorer, by holding down the Shift key
rather than Ctrl when adding files.
