Project Assets panel overview
The Project Assets panel lets you preview source material for your projects. Select the Expert view and then click Project Assets.
You can view the contents of a project using the list view or the grid view. Use the panel options menu to switch between the views.
The grid view displays a snapshot of the video you imported into the project. The Project Assets panel indicates files that you use in the Expert
view timeline with a green icon. Use the Search box to search for files within the panel.
Display and arrange media items
In the Project Assets panel, you can display items in the List view. The List view lets you view more items simultaneously, search, and sort items
by properties such as media type and duration.
To sort items in List view, click the column heading by which you want to sort the items. (For example, click Media Type to sort items by
type.) If folders are expanded, items sort from the top level and down the Project Assets panel hierarchy. To reverse the sort order, click the
column heading again.
To see more of the column headings in List view, drag the right side of the Project Assets panel to the right. Alternatively, drag the scroll bar
at the bottom of the panel to the right.
Organize clips in folders
The Project Assets panel can include folders into which you can organize project contents in the same way as folders in Windows Explorer.
Folders can contain media files or subfolders. Consider using folders to organize media types, such as DV captures, Adobe Photoshop Elements
still images, and audio files.
In the Project Assets panel, do any of the following:
To access the Project Assets panel, select Project Assets in the Expert view.
To add a folder, click the New Folder icon at the bottom of the Project Assets panel. In the list view, if you click New Folder multiple times
in a row, each new folder is nested inside the previous new folder.
To move an item into a folder, drag the item to the Folder icon. You can move folders into other folders to nest them.
To display the contents of a folder, double-click the folder. Alternatively, in List view, click the triangle beside the Folder icon to expand
the folder.
To navigate to parent folders, click the appropriate icon. You can click and hold this button to see a list of all the folders above the one
currently listed. You can also jump to a folder by highlighting it and releasing the mouse button.
