How to Move, Copy and Delete Assets in Overcast

In the below video, Stephen will go through how to Move, Copy and Delete Assets in Overcast.

To move, copy and delete asset(s):

Move:

To move an asset in Overcast, click the “Move Asset” button towards the bottom of the left side of the single asset view (it looks like a four-sided cursor)
Select the Project you’d like to move the asset to, and more specifically the folder (if needed).
Click “Move Asset”
This will move the file to your chosen location.

Copy:

To copy an asset in Overcast, click the “Copy Asset” button on the left side of the single asset view (it looks like two sheets of paper on top of each other)
Select the Project you’d like to copy the asset to, and more specifically the folder (if needed).
Click “Copy Asset”
This will copy the file to your chosen location

Delete:

To delete an asset in Overcast, click the delete icon towards the bottom of the single asset view menu on the left (it should look like a trash can).
Overcast will ask you are you sure you want to delete the file and repeat the file name,
Click “Yes, Delete Asset” and Overcast will delete the file.

To Move, Copy and Delete multiple assets at a time:

Select multiple assets in the project or folder view using CTRL + clicking on the files or using the mouse to hold and frag over files to select multiple assets.
Now use the three blue action buttons at the top of the asset view labelled: “Copy Assets”, “Move Assets”, & “Delete Assets.”
These three buttons act identically to the three actions above, ask you where you’d like to move/copy assets to, and ask you if you are sure you want to delete the files.
