Asset Management

Within FlexMAM, you can manage your assets in a number of different ways. You can examine the details of your selected asset, rename the asset, create clips of your video assets, and perform a variety of actions. Some of these actions can be performed using keyboard shortcuts which are listed here. Alternatively, you can hit shift + / on your keyboard to see a list of the shortcuts.

Preview Panel

The Preview Panel can be accessed by clicking on an asset in the search listing. The panel will appear on the right side of the screen.

  • A preview player
  • Asset metadata tab
  • Details tab
  • Technical metadata tab
  • Comment tab
  • Relationships tab
  • Shared/access tab
  • Marker tab
  • Keyframe tab
  • Asset history tab

Manage Page

The Manage Page can be accessed by double clicking on an asset. This will launch an expanded version of the preview player. In addition to the actions that can be performed in the preview panel, this expanded mode also features:

  • Large preview player
  • Audio waveform visualisation
  • Audio track selection / playback
  • Ability to add new asset markers in the Markers tab
  • Custom Panel (applies to UDOs only)

Additional actions

The icons and that appear when you hover over assets allow you to perform actions on the asset.

  4. You can select more than one asset by holding down command (or ctrl) and selecting as many assets as you wish (selected assets will be highlighted), before dragging them in bulk into your desired collection.
  • You can also select a range of assets by holding down Shift on your keyboard.
