The Library
The Library contains all the videos, photographs, and music you have stored on
your iPad. In addition to those media assets, the Library also includes a trove of
supplied Transitions, Montage sequences, Titles, and sound effects to dramatically
expand the creative possibilities at your fingertips.
Building the Library
Each time you launch Pinnacle Studio for iPad, it performs a check to determine
whether any of the videos, photos, or music in your iPad have not yet been added
to the Library catalog. If new media are found, you will be given the opportunity
to “rebuild the Library.” The time required for this operation varies with the
amount and type of material involved. A button to start a Library rebuild manually
is provided on the Global Settings panel on the Projects Page.
When the iPad is in portrait view, the Library is displayed across the full width
of the bottom of the screen.
To use media from other devices in Pinnacle Studio, you must import the files to
your iPad and then rebuild the Library. See Appendix B: Importing with iTunes for
details.
Media recording in Pinnacle Studio for iPad
To create new media assets without disturbing your creative flow, and make them
immediately available to the Library, record audio and video or take photos while
working on the Edit Page.
