Creating Catalogs

Catalogs can be added to the Workspace as new, empty Catalogs, or you can select items first and then save a Catalog of all selected items.

To create a new, empty Catalog:

1 Open the Workspace browser.

2 Choose New Catalog from the Browser menu.

3 Type a unique name and click OK.

To catalog a selection of items:

1 Open any DigiBase browser (including an existing Catalog).

2 Select the items you want to include in the new Catalog.

3 Choose Create Catalog from Selection from the Browser menu.

A new, fully indexed Catalog database of the selected items is created.

Creating Catalogs of Folders

To create a Catalog of an entire folder and all its contents:

1 Open the Workspace browser, if not already open.

2 Drag and drop a single folder onto the Catalog icon in the Workspace browser.

Pro Tools first indexes the folder, then a fully indexed Catalog is created, with the same name as the dropped folder.
