Adding files and folders to your project

You can locate and add files and folders from your hard disk and other discs to your project.

To browse for files and folders and add them to your project:

1	In the Select Source area, you can browse for files and folders in any of these ways:

Browse your Smart Views and albums. Smart Views are media file groupings created and maintained automatically by Media Manager, based on characteristics such as media type and date. Albums are media file groupings you create and manage yourself.

See the Media Manager Help Center for more information about Smart Views and albums.

Browse files and folders in the Windows folders on your computer.

Drag a disc icon onto the project window to add the entire contents of the disc.

Click My Devices to browse files on cell phones and other compatible devices detected by your computer.

See the Media Manager Help Center for more information about browsing files on other devices.

2	To select more than one file at a time, press and hold the Ctrl key while you click the files.

3	Add the selected files and folders to your project in any of these ways:
