recording of sound, from audio CDs or through a microphone, as well as moving images via a video
camera connected directly to your computer.
Thumbnails
Thumbnails are small graphic representations of files which have been added to a
particular album. They are linked not only to the file on your computer, but also to
information pertaining to that file, such as name, size, save directory, etc. Windows
users might think of a thumbnail as a 'shortcut,' and Mac users may make a
relationship to the term 'alias.'
Source files
Once movies, still pictures and sounds are added to the yellow albums, they become album files. All the
information pertaining to album files is linked to their thumbnails.
Album files
Source files refer to the media stored on your computer. As opposed to album files or thumbnails, they
can be considered the 'original' data files.

This task refers to getting rid of unnecessary portions of an object.
