About the Contents pane

The Contents pane displays the clips that are contained in the collection that is selected in the Collections pane. The Contents pane displays all of the video, audio, pictures, video transitions, and video effects that can be added to the storyboard/timeline to include in your movie.

You can display clips in the Contents pane in two views: Details and Thumbnails.

  • Details. Displays information about the clips displayed in the Contents pane. The specific details depend on the type of clip that is displayed. In this view, you can sort items by clicking the column you want to sort by.
  • Thumbnails. Displays a small image of the selected clips based on the selected collection and the type of clips that are stored in it. For example, if the collection contains captured or imported video, the thumbnail displays an image from the selected video clip. If the collection contains imported or captured pictures, the thumbnail displays the picture. Small images representing the individual video transitions or video effects are displayed in the Contents pane when you select the Video Transitions or Video Effects folder in the Collections pane.
