The Media Pane
The Media pane provides you with the controls you need to play, cue, and mark video clips as you build your story. You can set the Media pane to one of two modes:
• Click the Asset button to work in Asset mode.
Use Asset mode to view master clips, subclips, and sequences, and to edit media into your sequence. You can also send a sequence to a playback device or add a MAM asset to a process. For a description of the controls in Asset mode, see
Media Pane: Asset Mode,
Media Pane Menu Options (Asset Mode), and
Media Pane: Group Clip.
• Click the Output button to work in Output mode.
Use Output mode to view a sequence, add a voice-over, and send the sequence to a playback device or add a MAM basic sequence to a process. For a description of the controls in Output mode, see
Media Pane: Output Mode.
The view in the Media pane automatically switches to Asset mode or Output mode, depending on the asset you load.
• In the Assets pane, double-click a clip or subclip, or drag it to the Media pane. The clip or subclip opens in Asset mode.
• In the Assets pane, double-click a sequence, or drag it to the Media pane. The sequence opens in Output mode.
• In the Assets pane, right-click a sequence and select Open in Asset Mode. The sequence opens in Asset mode.
• In the Queue/Story pane, click the Open Sequence button. The associated sequence opens in Output mode.
• In the Search pane, double-click a MAM asset or basic sequence. The asset opens in Asset mode, and the basic sequence opens in Output mode.
• In the Tasks pane, double-click a MAM asset or basic sequence. The asset opens in Asset mode, and the basic sequence opens in Output mode.
You can use the Esc key to switch between Asset mode and Output mode.
If you have loaded an asset in the Media player, and need to switch layouts (for example, to switch from Log layout to Cut layout), the asset remains loaded.
