Clip Library
The Clip Library appears on the bottom half of the Mira
Explorer window and shows all the clips that are
currently available to the server, either on the local media
drive or on remote servers. The list can be filtered using
the
Display Clips
selection at the top of the list.
Tip:
You can change the width and position of each column in
the list, as well as sort the list based on the information in any
column. The administrator account can select which columns to
show or hide.

the same video format that the server is operating in
