Flare > Setting Up a Flare Workflow >
Working with Libraries

All clips in Flare are stored in working libraries. Use the libraries to import image sequences, play clips, load clips into Batch, and output processed clips from Batch. As well, all clips that you save as part of your Batch setups are saved to working Snapshot libraries.

You can create working libraries from the following locations:

- The current clip library
- The Setup menu and the Save Setup & Snapshot browser when saving sources and setups
- The Output node menu when processing clips

To access read-only libraries and network libraries, and to manage read-write libraries, you must use the current clip library.

For information on managing clip libraries, see Clip Libraries.

To access the clip library:

1. Double-click the Library node, or select Library from the Library/Preference box (in main Batch only).

   (a) Library/Preference box (b) Library node

To create a working library from the current clip library:

1. Select <create new library> from the Clip Library box.
2. Enter a library name in the keyboard that appears and press Enter.

   The library is created in the panel to the right of the Clip Library box and the library name appears in the Clip Library box.
