Reusing Associated Assets in Other Panes
You can reuse assets that are shown in the Associations pane (the source asset and its associated assets) directly in other panes. You can add assets to a folder in the Assets pane, add them as attachments to a task in the Tasks pane, or add an asset as attachment to a message in the Messages pane.
You can select assets of the same and different associations types at the same time. Note that clicking an association type or including an association type in a multi-selection series does not select the associations in it; you must expand the association type and select the individual assets in it.
To reuse associated assets in other panes:
1. Open all panes in which you want to reuse associated assets (Assets pane, Tasks pane, or Messages pane).
2. Open the asset from which you want to reuse associated assets in the Associations pane.
3. Expand the association types in the Associations List.
4. Do one of the following:
Select one or several assets and drag them to the asset area of a task in the Tasks pane.
A head frame of the video asset or a clip icon of an audio asset is displayed in the asset area, along with metadata describing the asset. If you dragged an invalid asset type, a message is displayed and the asset is not attached.
Select one or several assets, drag them to the name or icon of the folder into which you want to paste the asset reference in the Assets pane, and release the mouse button.
Valid asset references are pasted into the folder, and references to assets that are not allowed as contents of the folder are not pasted. If there is already a reference to an asset with the same identifier in the folder, a message is displayed and the asset is not pasted.
Select an asset and drag it to the asset area of the message in the Messages pane.
A head frame of the video asset or a clip icon of an audio asset is displayed in the message, along with metadata describing the asset.
