Viewing the Media Hierarchy

The Media Manager window is divided into two main sections: the tree and
contents panes. Clips and masters appear in the contents pane. Items are listed
alphabetically.

In the tree pane, you can expand or collapse the tree hierarchy by clicking on
the + (plus) or – (minus) control buttons, as shown in Figure 49. If you click on
a + button, the tree hierarchy is expanded or opened so you can see the branch.
For example, under a volume, you see bins. Clicking on the – button collapses
or closes the associated branch of the tree, hiding the bins under the volume.

To explore the contents of an item, select the icon representing it and then
choose

Explore

from the shortcut menu which is displayed with a right-click.

If present, clips and masters are displayed in the contents pane. In this pane, you
see information about the media:

• The name of the clip or master.

• The length of the media in the form

00:00:00:00

(Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames).

• The compression format of the media:

JPEG

or

MPEG

.

• The date and time the media was last modified, in the format:

12/2/94 9:40

PM

(Month/Day/Year Hours:Minutes AM/PM).
