Displaying my media when I need to see what's been used.

Alan-Emsley wrote on 8/13/2021, 4:42 PM

I'm able to select media from my photos and videos, create a storyboard and add music. BUT, when I use Explorer to move to a folder which allows me to modify the storyboard, I lose the display of my media and, for hours it seems, no attempt to find the display of selected media is successful. How on earth do I get back the display of the selected media in the window above the storyboard. I'm completely flumoxed.

HELP!!

Thanks, John. I'm attaching a screenshot of what I see when I follow those directions and select 'classic view'.

I've tried opening each of the folders but still do not get the display of media selected for the project.

Hi

Assuming you are in the view shown in the image below, click the indicated three dots and select the option shown.

If this is not what you are seeing, please post a screenshot of what you see

Is there a Manual. If not why not?

Hi

Please do not hijack another users topic with an unrelated question, this not good forum etiquette.

Did you look under Help?

I have tried searching the downloaded manual but still having trouble finding the solution. DJKevin, inane answers are not helpful.

Thanks John. That's good insight. However, you can see below what I observe when I choose 'classic view'. I've opened each of the sub-folders but still do not get a display of the media selected for my project.

Also, I did spend time with HELP but it was not giving me the answers to the text that I entered. It's always a challenge to get the question correct, I find, when using HELP.
