Sorting your media files
You can arrange clips in numeric or alphabetical order according to the columns you
select.
For example, you can sort the Bin by the Mark In column to display all of the clips in
timecode order.
1. Click the heading of the column by which you want to sort the Bin.
The clips and sequences display in alphabetical or numerical order depending
on the column you selected.
2. Click the column again to reverse the order of the sort.
3. Right-click in the Bin and select Restore Default Sort to return to the original sort
order.
Viewing Bins in thumbnail view
The Thumbnail view provides a visual representation of the type of media file in each
bin. Each clip or sequence is represented by a single frame, allowing you to see the
content of the material.
Changing thumbnail size
Aurora Edit offers two thumbnail sizes in this view: 4:3 (SD) and 16:9 (HD).
1. Click the View Thumbnails button on the Bin Toolbar.
2. Choose the thumbnail size you want from the View menu.
Selecting the head frame
Aurora Edit allows you to change the head frame for your media.
Each clip or sequence in Thumbnail view is represented by a single frame, called the
head frame. By default, Aurora Edit uses the first frame from the clip or sequence.
However, you can choose any frame within the clip or sequence to represent the file
in the view.
1. Double-click the clip or sequence to open it.
Clips open in the Trimmer window; sequences open in the Timeline Tool.
