Context Menu

Clicking with the right mouse button in certain parts of the browser view or storage navigator will bring up a context-sensitive menu enabling the user to perform various operations.

Storage Navigator

Right-clicking on any folder in the storage navigator at the top of the browser view will bring up a menu with the following options:

• Add Folder to Project (adds the folder to the active project)

• Copy Link (copies a unique 'Nara link' to the folder which you can send to someone else)

• Copy Path (copies the path to the folder so it can be pasted into a browser or text document)

If the Add Folder to Project option is greyed out it is because you don't currently have an active project . See the Projects section for more information.

Media Browser View

Right-clicking on a thumbnail in the sequence grid or a row in the sequence list will bring up a menu with the following options:

• Launch Player (this will switch to the playback window with the selected media file(s) ready to play. It is the same as double-clicking)

• Consolidate & Transcode (will open the Consolidate & Tanscode view in a pop-up window)

• Copy Link (copies a unique 'Nara link' to the selected clip(s) which you can send to someone else)

• Copy Full Path/s (copies the path to the selected media file so it can be pasted into a browser or text document. If multiple thumbnails are selected then this option will copy all the paths with each one on a new line)

• Copy File Name/s (copies just the file name, without the path, for the selected media. If multiple thumbnails are selected then this option will copy all the file names with each one on a new line)

If the selected media is an image sequence it will be made up of a series of sequentially numbered image frame files. Rather than list all of these files separately, Nara will just list a single file name and substitute the frame number with '%.nF' where n is the number of digits in the frame numbers.

• Deselect All (deselects any media files currently selected in the browser view. It is the same as pressing Shift+Ctrl/Cmd+A on the keyboard)

• Go to Containing Folder (this option is only available if the descend mode is active - it will navigate down the directory tree to the folder containing the selected media file)

If multiple thumbnails are selected then this option will change to Go to Common Folder, however it will be greyed out if all the selected media files are not in the same folder.

Advanced Options

Some additional advanced options may also be available in the right-click menu - these are detailed in the Advanced Features section of this manual:

• Send via MASV

• Transcribe Audio
