What is a media pool in ScreenFlow?

A media pool in ScreenFlow is a feature that allows users to manage and organize all the media files used in a project. This includes videos, audio files, images, and other types of media. The media pool provides a centralized location where users can easily access, preview, and manage these files. It is designed to streamline the editing process by making it easier to find and use the media files needed for a project.

In ScreenFlow, the media pool is typically located in a panel on the right side of the screen. Users can drag and drop files into the media pool, and then drag them onto the timeline for editing. The media pool also provides information about each file, such as its duration and dimensions. This feature is particularly useful for larger projects with many media files, as it helps to keep everything organized and easily accessible.
