Video Editor
Library
The Library is the Video Editor's home: every project and template of the workspace, organized in folders like a file manager. Clipper runs and generate runs land in their own folders automatically.
The sidebar
| Item | What it shows |
|---|---|
| All projects | Every project and folder at the top level. |
| Favorites | Projects you starred. |
| Templates | The workspace's templates (and built-in ones). See Templates. |
| Folders | The folder tree; click to open one. |
| Tags | Your tags; click one to list its projects. Manage tags creates, renames and deletes them. |
| Trash | Deleted projects, each with Deletes in 12 days. |
A folder marked Runs land here is where the Clipper (and Generate) puts each run's projects.

FAQ

The trash shows how many days each item has left before it's deleted for good.
Can I move a Clipper run's projects?
Yes. They're ordinary projects: move, rename, tag or duplicate them.
