You can define options that determine how imported media files are stored. You can choose to:
embed files under a specified file size within the project; or
not embed any files within the project
When media files are not embedded within the project, the file location is recorded in NVivo. Refer to Importing Audio and Video for more information.
The storage options are applied to all new files that you import, they are not applied to those that have already been imported.
To set storage options for media files:
On the Tools menu, click Options.
The Application Options dialog box is displayed.
Click the Audio/Video tab.
To not embed any media files within the project, clear the check box: Embed media in project if file size less than.
To automatically embed media files that are under a specified size, select the check box and enter the maximum size (up to 40MB).

If your project includes media files that are not embedded and the files are moved or deleted, you will need to update the file location in the audio/video source. Refer to Moving Media Files for details. You can view all media files stored outside of the project in the All Sources Not Embedded folder. Refer to Using Search Folders for more information. |
