N.B.
In Pyramix
User Libraries
, there is no practical distinction between a section of a
Composition
(
Region
) and
a complete
Composition
. Either can be added to a
User Library
or to an existing
Composition
. This is an
extremely powerful feature. A single
Clip
or part of a Clip copied to a
User Library
from the
Timeline
appears
there as a
Composition.
Automation in libraries
If the menu item
Edit > Enable Automation Cut/Copy/Paste
is enabled then any operation on Clips (Cut/Copy/
Paste, Auto-Ripple, etc…) brings all automation data with it
If you drag a Clip(s) to a library, all automation over that Clip(s) is copied/pasted as well.
Global Libraries
Project Libraries
are kept with the Project,
Global Libraries
are available to all projects and users of the system.
This can be helpful for sound effects or where several users need access to the same source material to produce
different end products.
Project Libraries
Default Library
Each new Project creates an empty
User Library
named
‘Default Library’
. This is provided to aid housekeeping
and is kept with the Project.
Offline / Reference Libraries
As the name implies
Offline/Reference Libraries
are useful for keeping track of very large projects and material
on media that may not be permanently on-line.
Offline or Reference Libraries behave like standard Pyramix Libraries and may be searched in the same manner as
others.
Offline libraries can be created in the
Media Management
Tab Window by selecting
Media Folder > Create Offline/Reference Library
.
