Using the Media

3 Manager

This chapter covers the management and tagging of your media files in Vegas software using the Media Manager™ feature.

This feature is available only in the full version of Vegas software.

Creating a new media library

You can create multiple media libraries as necessary to organize your media. Each media library is maintained by the Media Manager software as a separate database that stores information about the media contained within it. You might want to use separate libraries, for example, to distinguish media from different computers or to create separate libraries for multiple users of a single computer.

Tip: For very large media collections, using multiple media libraries can improve performance.

1.If the Media Manager window isn’t already visible, choose Media Manager from the View menu.

2.In the Media Manager window, click the Media Library Actions button () and choose New Media Library from the menu. The New Media Library dialog is displayed.

3.In the Name box, type the name you want to use to identify the library.

4.The Folder box displays the path to the folder where the library will be created. Click Browse to choose a different location.

5.Click the Create button to create the new library.
