Organizing Your Clips
After capturing or importing clips, you can organize them in collections Explorer-like folder hierarchies (Figure 11.5 ). A collection doesn't apply to any specific movie project; you can use it many times over in different movies.
Figure 11.5. Here's a reasonable way to organize clips in a collection hierarchy. Alternatively, you can organize your clips by event rather than by clip type. If you have only a few clips, you can stick them all in one collection folder.

1. If the Collections pane is hidden, choose View > Collections.2. In the Collections pane, right-click the collection folder where you want to add your new collection; then choose New Collection (refer to Figure 11.5).3. Type a name for the collection; then press Enter.
Tips

1. In the Collections pane, click the collection folder that contains the clips you want to arrange.The clips appear in the Contents pane.2. To change how much detail is displayed, choose View > Details or View > Thumbnails.3. Choose View > Arrange Icons By; then choose a property to display (Figure 11.6 ).
Figure 11.6. You also can arrange clips via the shortcut menu; just right-click an empty area of the Contents pane. (You can't drag and drop clips in this pane to reorder them.)
