For information on the kinds of files Media Editor can edit, see What Kind of Files Can I Edit?

To open a file for editing:

  1. Select File > Open Media File...
  2. Browse to the desired file, click on it, and click "Open."
  3. Repeat for additional files if necessary.

Media Editor will decode the file(s) to the WAV format (editing is done on WAV files), and will open a visual representation of them in a resizable window. This can take a little while depending on the size of the file(s).

If you have opened more than one file, Media Editor will open the second file over the first one. Go to Window in the Menu Bar and select the file you want to view.

To view multiple files at once, first make sure both are maximized. Then, either select Window > Cascade to arrange the images to overlap each other, or select Window > Tile to order the images in stack formation.

Recently opened files will appear below File > Save Selection As. Clicking on the files listed here opens them.

WAV files are located in the temporary file folder and will be erased once the file is closed unless they are saved.
