Organize your Library panel

You currently have quite a few assets in your Library panel. To keep these assets organized, easy to find, and categorized by type, you'll create folders, then move the assets into the folders.

Tip: Keeping your library panel organized is a good practice for any movie that you author, especially because others working on the same file can then locate assets easily.

Expand and enlarge the window, as necessary, to view all the assets in the Library panel. At the bottom of the Library panel, click the New Folder button four times, to create four new folders.

Double-click the name of untitled folder 1, and rename it Car Animation Movie Clips.
