To open the Media tool:

Select Tools > Media Tool.

The Media Tool Display dialog box opens.

Select the display options as follows:

–

Select individual media drives or all drives.

The Media tool loads the media database only for the drives you select. The more drives you select, the more memory is required for the Media tool to open.

–

Display files for the current project, for selected projects, or for all projects.

Only projects with associated online media and the current project appear in the Project(s) list in the Media Tool Display dialog box.

–

Display captured master clips, precompute (rendered effect) clips, or media files, or any combination of the three.

Click OK.

The Media tool opens.
