Opening Clip Libraries
 
 
 

Open a clip library from the EditDesk or from the current library. You can open any library belonging to the current project. If you accessed libraries through the network panel, you can also open libraries belonging to other projects.

The Clip Library box lists all available libraries. The library displayed on the box label is the currently selected library. You can open the current library or select another library from the Clip Library box.

  1. In the EditDesk menu, do one of the following:
    • To open the currently selected library, click the Clip Library box.
    • To open another library, select it from the Clip Library box and then click the Clip Library box.
