About action trays
Action trays are the containers you use to pair up a media source with the effect that
introduces it into the show. The effect goes on the left side of the tray, and the media source is
on the right.
If you assign an audio clip to an existing tray, a speaker icon appears on the bridge between
the two thumbnails. To select a thumbnail or the speaker icon, click it; you can then
customize the selected item from the Actions tab. Double-click a thumbnail to preview the
effect or source. To select the tray as a whole, click the tray’s tab.
