Media library

TIP

"Media library" in the desktop app browses the footage folders on your computer and imports them to the editing extension. Images with consecutive numbers in the same folder are grouped into one image sequence, and you can hover to scrub the preview. Hover over or select an item and press Space to enlarge the preview. A fuller guide is still in progress; below are the release notes related to the desktop app.

Release notes

• 2.7.0 Fixed a local folder that was deleted from disk coming back in the sidebar after you removed it. It can now be removed cleanly, and clicking a root folder that no longer exists clears it automatically.
• 2.4.1 Fixed hover playback in the list sometimes not stopping after scrolling out of view or switching folders. It now stops at once.
• 2.4.1 Fixed the list preview concurrency setting not being saved after you changed it. It is now remembered and covers are generated with the new number right away.
• 2.2.0 You can right-click an item to rename it, which changes the source file on disk. For an image sequence, the whole group's prefix is renamed.
• 2.2.0 Hover over or select an item and press Space to enlarge the preview quickly. Video and audio play automatically, and you can drag the progress bar to jump.
• 2.2.0 Images with consecutive numbers in the same folder are grouped into one image sequence. Hover and slide left or right to preview, and import to the connected editing extension.
• 2.2.0 The browse grid follows the real aspect ratio of each picture, supports more video, image and audio formats, and audio shows a waveform and can be previewed on hover.
• 2.2.0 Fixed the list scrolling back to the top after a delete and breaking aggregated browsing. It now stays where it was.
• 1.6.0 Hover scrubbing preview now works for special formats such as MOV videos, so you can scan the picture content quickly.
• 1.5.0 Fixed the sidebar being unable to open lower-level folders. Subfolders can now be opened and browsed normally.
• 1.2.1 Root folders in the sidebar support a right-click menu to open the folder location or remove it from the list.
• 1.2.1 A root folder in the sidebar now shows a clearer theme-color highlight on hover, so it is easy to tell which item you are pointing at.
• 1.0.0 The sidebar folders and the asset list are sorted by natural file name order, and the order no longer changes when translated names are shown.
• 0.3.0 Footage imported from this page and from LmBox is filed automatically into an "LMbox" folder by type in the project panels of Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, After Effects and others.
• 0.2.7 When adding folders you can select several local footage directories at once. Extension packs are added separately.
• 0.1.9 Fixed items imported from the desktop app with the DaVinci Resolve editing extension connected appearing only in the media pool and not on the current timeline. They now land at the playhead position normally.
• 0.1.9 With the matching editing extension connected, you can import videos or images from the library into the current project: Premiere and After Effects use the timeline inside the editing extension; DaVinci Resolve writes to both the media pool and the current timeline; Final Cut Pro first adds to the extension's pending list, then you drag them to the timeline or browser in the app.
