Add Media File To Playlist:
Opens a file explorer allowing you to choose a desired asset file and add it to the playlist. You are free to make multiple selections and load at the same time.
NOTE: It is important to remember that all assets belonging to any playlist must be kept in the event asset folder. This way all elements related to a playlist can be easily moved as one bundle and used on other computers without having to correct the file paths within the playlist.
By default, any file retrieved from other locations will automatically be copied and placed directly into the designated event folder.
To prevent excessive use of available drive space on your system it is recommended that you manually add all needed assets directly to the event folder and prevent the system from needing to create wasteful copies.
