The Project Manager administers and stores all projects and clips. It consists of four main pages.

The Project page lists the project files.

The Files page manages media clips, which are divided into four sub pages of Video, Image, Audio, and Title.

The Effect page maintains a list of the predefined video transition effect operators.

The Clips page serves as a clipboard to facilitate sharing of video and audio clips among projects.

Use the buttons on the top of the Project Manager window to import files, to remove items from a list, and to change the way items are viewed on a page.

Click the right mouse button to access a menu with controls for each page.

For a media item in the various list pages of the Project Manager, you can select (or load) it into the corresponding window by double clicking (the left mouse button) on the item.

For example, by double clicking on a project item, the editor will load the project into the Timeline. Similarly, it will load a video clip in the Input monitor, a title clip in the Title editor, and a transition effect in the transition effect manager.

Hint: How to preview a video clip as a segment of a complete movie file?

The default preview for a video clip is to display only the clip. If this video clip is a segment of a video file, it is sometimes desirable to preview the complete movie file in the Input monitor with the clip as the marked segment between the MarkIn and MarkOut, and this can be done by double clicking on the item while holding down the Control key.
