CHAPTER 6
Managing projects and media
files
File management in Adobe® Visual Communicator ®3 projects can be complicated because of
the media files used in a project and because audio and video content are recorded to your
hard drive. To make this task easier, use industry best practices to organize media files and use
the Pack and Go feature.

Locate and store projects and files
Each time you publish a show, Visual Communicator assembles all the media files to build
the program. To do this, the media files must be where Visual Communicator expects them
to be—that is, in the same place they were when you added them to your show. Therefore, do
not move, delete, rename, or otherwise hide your media files after you add them to a show.
You can replace a media file with another file of exactly the same name.
File storage options vary depending on whether you work on projects on a single computer or
share projects on multiple computers.
It’s a good idea to keep two copies of custom media files, particularly those that you
think you might edit at some point after they are added to a project. Store one set in a
working folder and the other in the project folder. Do all your editing to the files in the
working folder. Then, to include the revised graphic, video, or audio clip in a show, copy it
to the project folder.
