Apple DVD Studio Pro 4 - Manual (Page 216)

Opening Assets in Their Editor
You can open a selected asset in a different application. This can make it easier for you
to update the asset.
Note: See Using Motion, LiveType, and Soundtrack Pro Projects for information on opening
Motion and LiveType projects.
To open an asset in a different application
Do one of the following:
µ
Choose File > Asset > Open In Editor or File > Asset > Open With.
µ
Control-click the asset to be opened in the Assets tab, then choose Open In Editor or
Open With from the shortcut menu.
Open In Editor and Open With have the following differences:
• Open In Editor: Choose this if you want to open the asset using its registered application
(exactly as would happen if you double-clicked the asset in the Finder).
• Open With: Choose this if you want to select the application to open the asset. This is
useful when the registered application for that asset type is not the application you
want to use.
With still assets, you can edit and save them using the selected application, and
DVD Studio Pro automatically refreshes the assets.
With audio and video motion assets, you may find that you are unable to resave the assets
once you have edited them. To ensure you can resave the audio or video motion assets,
close the DVD Studio Pro project once you have opened the asset in its application.
Identifying an Asset
You can identify an asset’s actual filename and location and even open a Finder window
that displays it. This is especially useful if you have renamed the assets within
DVD Studio Pro.
To identify an asset’s filename and location
Do one of the following:
µ
Control-click the asset’s name, then choose Reveal In Finder from the shortcut menu. This
opens a Finder window displaying the asset’s file.
µ
Add the Location column to the Assets tab. This column lists the details of the asset’s file.
Previewing Assets
You can display an asset in the Viewer tab or listen to its audio.
