# Creating Clip Libraries

You can organize projects by creating clip libraries and using them to store related clips, Source Areas, Record Areas, and EditDesks together. It is recommended that you use several small clip libraries instead of one large one. This helps to keep your projects organized, allows for more efficient transfers of data, and streamlines clip library performance.

Use the Clip Library box on the EditDesk to create clip libraries.

To create a clip library:

1. Click New.

   The keyboard appears.

2. Enter a name for the new clip library. Use only alphanumeric characters, single spaces, and underscores. Click Enter on the on-screen keyboard (or press Enter).

   The clip library is created and appears in the Clip Library box.

   TipYou can also create clip libraries using the Clip Library box in the current clip library.

NoteFor optimum performance, ensure that the MaxLibrarySize token in the init.cfg configuration file is set properly. Refer to the Creative Finishing Linux Install Guide.
