The Importer

Pinnacle Studio lets you incorporate many kinds of media into your video productions. When these are stored externally to your computer – on a camcorder tape, say, or a memory stick from your digital camera, or a cloud-based service – they must be transferred to local storage before you can use them.

The file-based assets you can use in Pinnacle Studio – including video, photographic and audio media, and Pinnacle Studio projects themselves – must be imported from a source such as a local hard drive into the Library before they can be used.
