Media Interactions in the Project Bin [VE 22.1 UG]

Media contained in the project bin is listed with a customizable grid of metadata (1) relevant to the media. Typically, data such as the Title, the Duration and a Thumbnail are shown here. However, additional metadata fields can be configured into the Enterprise version of the product. A basic search field (3) allows to filter the visible grids data to simple navigate in the list. Two columns are fixed in the product and will be always available, those are the In Use Indicator and the Context menu Button (2).

In Use Indicator

It is important to note that VidiEditor also indicates whether any of the items in the Project Bin are currently being used in the timeline (1).

The "In Use" mark is not just applicable entire clips being inserted into the timeline. This is also valid for partial clips which have marked with in IN and OUT points in the Source Preview player. As a result, as long as a portion of a media asset is used in the timeline, it will be marked as "In Use" in the Project Bin as well.

Interactions

Different Interactions are possible with the elements inside the project bin . Users can typically:

  • Load media in the source player to preview it

  • Select media to be used on the timeline to edit

  • Browse trough the different media easily to find the right content

  • Manage the bin

These possibilities are available with different kinds of user interactions depending on the type of the element. The following list gives a complete overview:
