Adding Media

 
 
 

As the complexity of your effects grows, so will the amount of media you use. You can add unlimited media; media is added to the Media list as they are created. If Auto Image is enabled in the Action Setup menu, an image node and axis are also created in the schematic when new media is added.

If you accessed Action through the Tools tab, the Workspace Media panel is not directly available from within Action. In this case, you'll need to follow these steps to add new media.

To add media from the workspace:

  1. Click New Media.
  2. From the workspace, select a front and matte clip of the same resolution to load as media.
    TipYou can select any number of front and matte clips by holding the Ctrl key while selecting clips. Each front/matte pair must have the same resolution, and is added to its own line in the Media list.
NoteAfter adding media, if the front or matte can no longer be found in the workspace, the name of the front or matte media is displayed in red in the Media list, and the missing front or matte acts as a white frame in Action.
