Managing Media in your Media Library

To add media to your media library, use one of these methods:

•	Record media in ScreenFlow. When the recording is added to the canvas and timeline of an open project window, it is also added to the project’s media library.

•	Drag the media file from the Finder into the media library

•	Drag the media file from the Finder onto the timeline. ScreenFlow automatically adds it to the media library.

•	In the media library pane, click Add Media. ScreenFlow displays a File System dialog, where you can navigate and select the media to add to the media library.

Note: Videos, images, and audio files imported into the media library remain linked to their original source. If a source file is modified, ScreenFlow will advise you, and offer to reload the modified file. When ScreenFlow reloads a file, it automatically updates the library, timeline, and canvas. This makes it easy to edit your video, audio, and images—and automatically update them in your ScreenFlow projects.

To duplicate media to the file system, drag the media file out to your desktop, target folder or server. Mac OS X duplicates the source media file in the new location.

To delete media from your media library, select the media object and click Delete. If this media is referenced by a clip on the timeline, ScreenFlow displays a dialog alerting you that the clip or clips will be deleted as well. Click Delete to continue.

To rename media files in the library, highlight the media, then click on the name to edit it. This renames all clips on the timeline that reference this media, unless they have already been given a custom name (double-click the clip on the timeline to provide a custom name—this does not rename the referenced clip in the media library).
