8 Library folders in Version4

Can someone explain why there are 8 library folders?
Why would you want to use more than 1 library folder?
How do you erase/delete library folders?
What is the best use of these 8 libarary folders?
Thank you

  • The Libraries were split by the type of media and/or content supplier. You would want to use more than one library for a two reasons.

    -Indexing Limitations. You can only have 255 pieces of content in each folder that you will be able to recall.

    -Organization. Depending on the type of show and how content is selected it makes it easier to break up content into different folders. If I am doing a rock show, I might have content pre-selected for each song and thus break it up by folder. If I'm doing a theater show, I might break up content into a folder for each scene. If I'm going to punt a show, I might have fast background, slow backgrounds, beam effects, band logos, green based content, red based content, etc... all broken into different folders.

    You do not have to use all 8 of these folders, but figure out how you need to navigate through your content and structure it to fit your needs.

    Hope that helps.
