Click Add to open a standard system file window, and select (or multi-select) items
to build a list in the Import Media file pane. Some highly compressed video files may
not be well suited to live playback. Enable switches in the Transcode column for
files you wish to convert to a friendlier format on import. Files can be re-ordered by
dragging their entries up or down with the mouse, or removed from the list by
highlighting them and clicking Remove.
Once the batch import list is prepared, click Import to complete the operation. Files
are processed quickly, and are automatically added to their proper locations
(according to type) for easy access during live production.
Hint: Sections Section 4.2, 11.2.2, and A.4.2 discuss other aspects of media imports.

The Export Media function allows you to create a list of video files for export, select a
new file format for these exports to be converted to (on a per file basis), and
designate where to send them. Clicking the Export Media button opens a new pane.
Click the Add button at upper left to open a custom Media Browser (see Section
11.2.2 for browser details). Use this pane to locate and select (or multi-select) video
clips for export.
Hint: The Export Media panel can be resized by dragging its edges or corners with the
mouse.

The file pane is much like a spreadsheet table, listing all files in the current export
batch in its first column, then the current settings for each file in other columns. A
Status column shows the current export status or progress for each file in the list.
