Import Clips into the Library

When importing media clips into PowerDirector's Library, you have two options: to import media files individually, or to import an entire folder that contains media files you want to use in your current project.

Note: PowerDirector's file format support varies, depending on version. For information on the availability of specific features in the PowerDirector version that you are using, please check the Readme file.

Import Individual Media Files

To specify individual media files to import into the Library, do this:

1. Click to open the Media Room.

2. Select the type of media you want to import (or All Media) from the Filter drop-down list.

Note: By selecting a media type (other than All Media) in this drop-down list, you restrict the type of media displayed in the Library, and consequently, the type of media that you can import.

3. Click and select Import Media File(s). A dialog box opens.

4. Locate and open the file(s) you want to add. Thumbnails of each of the media files you have selected appear in the Library.

Import a Media Folder

To import all of the media files in a particular folder, do this:

1. Click to open the Media Room.

2. Click and select Import a Media Folder. A dialog box opens.

3. Locate the folder you want to open, then click OK. All of the media files in that folder are loaded into the Library.
