A file name tells you little about what a video is or where it came from. Video Details is where that goes: a proper title, a rating, a description, a link to where it was published or bought, and the people in it. Everything you write here is searchable, and it is saved as you type.
Step by step
- Select a video in the Video Catalog window.
- In the Video Details window click into Title, Description or Link and type. The stars set the rating. There is no save button; changes are stored as you go.
- Pick a genre if it helps you, but keywords are the more flexible choice for most libraries.
- To add a person, right-click a scene that shows their face and choose Use image for New Actor portrait. Drag actors from the Actors window into the video’s Cast.
