The Media list panel contains all the media available in your project and displays some metadata for each of them (pixel size, file size, codec, timestamp, etc.)
The bottom toolbar enables the following:
 |
Add menu to create new media or import |
|---|---|
 |
Delete selected media |
 |
More options: Expand/Collapse all or selected media. Toggle display of Thumbnail/List mode. |
 |
Search for a media |
To avoid mistakes, the DEL key on the keyboard will not delete selected media, the operator must use the button in the toolbar.
If at least one of the media in your selection is being used somewhere in your project, a pop-up window will appear when trying to delete informing you that the current selection cannot be deleted.
You can right-click on a media or selection of media and select the Show uses option to open a window indicating where your media are being used.
The Select unused media option in the Media top menu will automatically select all the media currently not in use in the project in the Media list panel.
You can add a color on a media by accessing the color selector 
when the media is selected.

You can import all the media contained in a folder at once.
Tag
Tags can be set on Video, Image or Audio files.
