The Silverstack clip library in the left bar gives you the possibility to organize your ingested assets. Clips are grouped together in Bins (usually one bin per camera card), which can be organized inside folders.
Select a folder or bin and all its files display in the list view in the UI center.
The library outline can be sorted in custom order with drag & drop, or you can have it automatically sorted by name or date.
Select in the “View” Menu if you only want to see files that have been detected as clips or also all other files/documents (see “Show Clips Only” / “Show Clips and Documents”).
Metadata columns can be added and removed to/from the clips list one-by-one. You can also save and manage custom column layouts.
Metadata can be edited for many metadata fields that allow so by double clicking in the clips list table. Multi edit of the same column for multiple clips is possible via the General Info tab of the right bar.
