The Media Generators Window

Choose View | Window | Media Generators to toggle the display of the Media Generators window. You can use this window to add text, titles, backgrounds, and other generated media.

At the top of the window you can see the available Media Generators organized into categories. In addition to categories such as Creative Graphics, Text and Titles or Utility, there are three special categories:

All plug-ins:	All available plug-ins are listed here.
Third party:	Additionally installed third-party plug-ins are displayed here. If you select this category, an additional Filter drop-down menu will appear in the upper right corner, where you can filter the third-party plug-ins by provider.
Favorites:	All plug-ins that you have marked as favorites are listed here. You mark a plug-in as a favorite by clicking on the little star in front of the plug-in name .

The left pane lists each of the available media generators of the selected category. The thumbnail images in the right pane represent each of the existing presets for the selected effect. Hover your cursor over a preset to see an animated example.

TIP You can type in the Search plug-ins box to find plug-ins. For example, if you wanted to find a specific color-correction plug-in, you could type "color" in the box to display only plug-ins that include the term "color" in the plug-in name, description, or group name.

You can drag a preset thumbnail to a track to add media.
