7 Media management

To avoid losing time browsing for media ﬁles, MIXVIBES VFX proposes a selection of advanced media management features. To

improve your efﬁciency and organize your playlists efﬁciently, you must create one or many « MediaBases » (media libraries).

This will allow you to access media very easily without browsing with your Explorer through your hard drive.

List and Grid views

The MediaBase is a selection of shortcuts pointing to your media ﬁles, making it easy to retrieve your tracks. Once you have

your whole MediaBase organized, you will ﬁnd media within seconds!

7.1.1 Add a ﬁle to the MediaBase

Simply, drag and drop your media ﬁles from the browser to the MediaBase. The media ﬁle information is automatically loaded

into the MediaBase. You can also add a complete directory to the MediaBase. To do so, right click on the desired folder in the

Explorer. Then choose

Scan

to add all the ﬁles to the MediaBase. If you load a media ﬁle straight from the Explorer to a

MIXVIBES VFX player it will automatically be entered into your MediaBase.

7.1.2 Manage the MediaBase

As previously mentioned, you can manage multiple MediaBases.

Create To create a new empty MediaBase you can click on New MediaBase in the File menu.

Save

Once you have ﬁnished organizing your MediaBase, save it. To do so you can click on Save MediaBase in the File menu.

If you have never saved your MediaBase a dialog box will pop-up upon shut down. Choose a name and directory to store your

MediaBase in VIB format. Click Save to validate. This ﬁle will store not only your MediaBase but also, your players’ status and

your media’s cue points, locators and loops.

Load

To load an existing MediaBase, click on Open MediaBase in the File menu. A dialog box is then prompted, select the

desired VIB ﬁle and click on Open.

Sort

To ﬁnd your media more easily you can sort your media following different parameters called Tags. Click on the desired

tag in the MediaBase, for example Album, to class the media alphabetically per album, click again to reverse the sorting from

increasing to decreasing classiﬁcation.

A right click on a MediaBase column gives you access to column properties. You can select/uncheck the order in which columns

are displayed.

Modify a media tag

A right click on a media ﬁle gives you a range of choices, choose Edit to access and modify the tag

properties of the ﬁle (track name, artist name, album name, etc). You can also edit a media tag by double-clicking on it.

7.1.3 Import your iTunes library®

If you use Apple’s iTunes

to sort your media ﬁles you can load your library straight into MIXVIBES VFX. Click on Import iTunes

library in the File menu. All the referenced media is then loaded into the MediaBase as well. The iTunes

playlist appear as

groups in the Selection window. This is just an import function, the modiﬁcation to the tags in done in MIXVIBES VFX will not

be recognized by iTunes®.
