Limecraft offers you a wide variety of methods to display and sort your media, including switching between a thumbnail or list view, as well as various ways to sort and group items. 


Using an Overview of Thumbnails


View as thumbnail images option organises your files as a grid with a thumbnail and main metadata. The thumbnail can be automatically selected by Limecraft, or you can chose the thumbnail yourself. 


More about selecting your own thumbnail here.

Grouping of clips


In case your workspace manages a large collection of items (several thousands or more), you may want to group items in the library. In this example, clips will be grouped according to the script (Episode, Scene, Shot).

As a result, clips will be hierarchically grouped.
