# Managing EditDesk Clips

The EditDesk provides numerous tools for keeping clips organized. You can resize Source Area clip proxies, arrange them in different ways, sort them into multiple Source Areas using the EditDesk list, and rename clips.

You can load images and audio into Smoke from a VTR, across a network, or from another media source. Media is stored as a frame on a disk array (also referred to as a framestore).

A sequence of imported images or audio, called a clip, can contain one or more frames. The number of frames in a clip is limited only by the size of your framestore.
