 | The four display views in the Media tool function like those in bins: Brief view, Text view, Frame view, and Script view. |
| You can use the same Brief view information described in Using Brief View. |
| You can use Text view headings and options for columns of clip and media file data. You can also use procedures such as customizing the display of columns, moving within columns, and sorting information, as described in Using Text View. |
| You can use the same Frame view options described in Using Frame View. |
| You can use the same Script view options described in Using Script View. |
| The Media Tool Fast menu gives you quick access to the same commands available in the Bin Fast menu. |
| You can highlight, move, copy, duplicate, delete, sort, and sift clips in the Media tool. You can also select media relatives, sources, and unreferenced clips, as described in Basic Bin Procedures. |
| Media Tool database and display options are saved as User settings. When you close the Media tool, the view you are in (Brief, Text, Frame, or Script) is saved and any customizations of columns are saved. |
| You can print Media Tool data using the same procedures for printing bins, as described in Printing Bins. |
| Unlike a bin, the Media tool can display all the tracks captured for each clip as separate media files. Therefore, when you view, delete, and manipulate files, you have the added option of specifying individual video and audio tracks. |
| Unlike a bin, the Media tool does not display sequences and subclips. Only master clips, precompute (rendered effect) clips, and associated media files are available for display. |
| The following Bin menu commands do not apply to the Media tool: Batch Capture, Batch Import, Relink, Modify, and AutoSequence. You must perform these functions from a bin. |
