Media Manager Workflow

There are three main stages to working with the Media Manager.

Stage 1:

Selecting Clips or Sequences in Your Project

Before you can use the Media Manager, you must select items that you want the Media
Manager to process. You can select an entire project, one or more bins, individual or
multiple sequences, clip items within sequences, or clips in the Browser. Whatever you
want to do, the Media Manager needs to know what to process before it can do anything.
See the examples later in this section for some ideas on how to use the Media Manager.
