Project Library

The media bin inside a project.

A project showing the Get started panel - search, an Assets and Website tab, Upload files and Add from my collection - beside the Project Library listing the media available to this project.

The Project Library contains the media available to your current project.

Anything you upload, search for or pull from a link lands here, and everything you cut with comes from it.

Where it is

The library sits in a panel beside your work. You can close it with Close project library panel and bring it back when you need it.

While the project is empty the panel prompts you to add something. Once material arrives it shows a count above the list — 1 ASSET, and so on.

An asset that is still being analysed says what stage it has reached — PROCESSING..., then scene and moment detection — and settles once it is ready to use.

Adding material

Three routes, all on the GET STARTED panel of a new project:

  • Search by keyword, or paste a public link — ASSETS and WEBSITE change what you search
  • UPLOAD FILES, for footage from your computer, or drag files onto the panel
  • ADD FROM MY COLLECTION, for material already in your library

Adding from your collection

ADD FROM MY COLLECTION opens your library in an adding mode. A banner names the project you are adding to, so you always know where things are going.

  1. Select the assets you want — a count appears, with a CLEAR control beside it
  2. Confirm with the button at the top, which names the project and the number selected
  3. The assets appear in the Project Library panel

What an asset looks like

Each entry shows a thumbnail, its title, its duration, and a provenance line giving the source and the date it was filed — AP, 9.10.2026.

More options on an entry opens its menu:

ActionWhat it does
DownloadSave the original file
Copy Asset IDCopy the asset's identifier
Remove from ProjectTake it out of this project's library

Removing an asset takes it out of this project. It stays in your wider library, so ADD FROM MY COLLECTION can bring it back.

Brief a video

Once the library has material, you can go to the Assignment Desk. That is where you brief the video, and it is the natural next step from here.

FAQ

Is this the same as Asset Search?

No. Asset Search is your whole library across projects. The Project Library is what this one project can use.

Can I remove something?

Yes. More options on the entry offers Remove from Project. That removes it from this project only — the asset stays in your library.
