When I go to:

Annotations --\> Video --\> From file…

I can add just one file at a time. I would like to be able to select and add multiple files. Is that somehow possible, or can you implement that feature?

Thanks!

Hi,

You just need to select the files in Windows Explorer (I guess you are using the Windows version), then drop them into Canvas (the center largest window).

Ah, tank you! I did try something like that before, but I dropped them on the Timeline, and that caused each video to appear in a new project. But this works great, thanks!

I was going to request the same feature. Thanks for this. I also instinctively had been trying to drop them on the timeline. Perhaps it would be a good idea to make timeline drops behave the same as canvas drops?

Thanks!

Hi Jac,

I just want to let you know that dropping on Timeline will be available in the next version.
