Organize the Project panel, and videos that are already imported

Applies to 0.11Updated 6 Nov 20262 min read

One click sorts loose items into bins. When you import videos the project already has from another place, a window asks what to do.

Organize

Click Organize at the bottom of the Project panel, next to Import.

• Items that are not in any bin go into Video, Audio, Images and Sequences bins.
• Bins you made yourself, and the Voiceover, Sound Effects and AI bins, stay exactly as they are, with what is in them.
• The first sequence takes the project's name while it still has the name the app gave it ("Sequence 01"). A name you typed is never changed, and you can rename it any time.
• It is one undo step. A second click says the project is already organized.

Videos already in the project

When you import or drop videos the project already has, with the same picture and sound but from another place (for example another drive), a window lists them and asks:

• Import Anyway: they come in as items of their own, in a bin named after the drive, such as "From SSD". The project's items stay exactly as they are, so you can compare drives.
• Use the New Place: the project's items read the dropped files from now on, with the same clips on the timeline. Edit › Undo puts the old place back.
• Keep the Ones in the Project: nothing changes.

A file dropped from the very same place it was imported from is just reported as already there. More: Dropping folders and the VIDEO, IMAGES and AUDIOS bins.
