Get a tour of the Assets Tab UI

00:08

In this tutorial, we'll introduce you to the Flow Capture Assets tab

00:12

and highlight the location of key features and functionalities.

00:16

Each of these functions will be explained in detail in other tutorials,

00:20

so this is simply a tour of the Assets tab, to be sure you know your way around.

00:24

The assets tab has been designed to be your organizational hub within Flow Capture,

00:29

helping you streamline your workflows and enhance your collaboration experience.

00:34

Within the assets tab, there are five areas to make note of:

00:37

the top bar,

00:40

the folder browser,

00:43

the asset viewer,

00:44

the information and settings panel,

00:47

and the persistent player, which we'll see in a moment.

00:50

Starting with the top bar,

00:52

on the left side is the navigation block that

00:54

lets you fix the Assets tab to always be open

00:57

or to set it back, to allow you to navigate elsewhere.

01:02

On the right side,

01:03

you can check your connectivity status to get

01:05

insights into your playback capabilities on Flow Capture.

01:09

You'll also find our help button, which contains

01:12

our full searchable knowledge base and gives you

01:14

the ability to reach out to our support team without having to leave the app.

01:20

Next is the folder browser on the left,

01:23

which lets you navigate through all of the groups,

01:25

productions, and folders that you've been added to.

01:29

The folder system is similar to what can be found in the Mac Os Finder or Explorer

01:34

in Windows and allows you to search globally across

01:37

all productions and folders you have access to,

01:39

to easily find and work with your assets.

01:43

Anything that's listed here can be selected and will

01:46

affect what's displayed in the center viewer path.

01:49

Choosing the production for instance, will show you all the top level folders in it

01:54

and the information panel will give you details about the production.

01:58

You can also hide the folder browser by clicking on the folder icon at the top,

02:04

giving you more screen space to work.

02:07

Speaking of the information panel, it can be found on the right-hand side.

02:11

It can be expanded to allow you to view or change what you need

02:15

and then collapsed to provide more real estate for the center asset viewer.

02:20

Your folder and production settings can also be

02:23

found in this panel and will change based on

02:25

your permission set as well as what you have selected on the left or in the middle.

02:31

The asset viewer takes center stage occupying the entire center panel.

02:36

If we select a folder on the left,

02:38

thumbnails

02:39

for all the assets uploaded to this folder will be

02:41

displayed as well as any sub folders found within it.

02:46

Each asset comes with a menu of additional

02:48

options accessible through a vertically aligned ellipses,

02:52

and it will change depending on your permission.

02:56

You'll also notice a number of icons at the top

02:60

which will change depending on your permissions.

03:03

You can search for assets or folders,

03:05

change your desktop view,

03:07

access the upload panel,

03:09

add new folders,

03:11

and sort and filter your folders, batches, and assets.

03:15

You'll also see the folder path for the selected folder along the top.

03:20

Clicking on an asset thumbnail opens up our persistent player, allowing you

03:25

to review and comment assets seamlessly without leaving the assets page.

03:30

We'll cover all of the features of the persistent player in another tutorial.

03:35

To return to the main assets tab window,

03:38

just click the X in the upper right-hand corner and you'll be back in your folder.

03:44

You know your way around now.
