Property Box

Property Box: Main Tab for Media Records

This tab can be customized using the Customize Property Box dialog.

This tab displays the most important items of information relating to a media item. Media items are typically pictures, videos, sounds, documents, or OLE Objects. But you can treat any external file as a media item if you wish to and create a Media record to represent it.

You are recommended to provide a Title for all media items. If possible you should also provide a Date - this is the date at which the object was created.

Media records are created when you click on the main Add menu and choose any of the following:

You can also add media to the project in the Property Box, on the Media tab, and on the Facts tab (in the Facts Media Dialog).  In all cases, where new media is added, a new Media record is created to represent it within the program.

The Property Box for Media records is very similar to the form displayed in the Display Pane of the Media Window.  See that window for more details.
