Managing Media

The media in the Media dock can be renamed, deleted, and duplicated using the Media menu.

When you’re in the Media dock, if you change the visibility status of objects in the Scene graph, or if you change the camera position in the scene, you can update previously created media by refreshing the thumbnail of the media.

You can also re-organize the order of the thumbnails in the Media dock, and change the format of images, panoramas, and videos.

The Media Menu

The images, panoramas, and videos inside the Media dock each have their own Media menu. In the Media menu, you can rename, delete, and duplicate media.
