Welcome to smartElements's documentation!
=========================================
SmartElements is a media browser that lets you easily browse any footage and
assets, 3D elements and toolsets. It contains three viewing modes: gallery
view, list view and thumbnail view. To get elements into your working file,
simply select one or multiple elements from the browser and drag them into
your node graph.

You can arrange your elements in so called stacks and sub categorize
them in separate lists. All machines in your network can point to the same
stack(s) so that you can access the same pool of media and collaborate to build
up a common media library of often used elements and assets.
Renderings can automatically be registered to smartElements once the rendering
has finished. This enables you to quickly see the current progress of your
projects within your team.
Media can be ingested into smartElements by simply dropping files or folders
into the browser. You have also several options to ingest data directly from
inside Nuke.
smartElements can be customized to your needs. And if you have some programming
knowledge, you can even take over full control and customize smartElements by
creating your own custom pre- and post processors that will run when ingesting
media and assets into smartElements.
