StageIT Collections:
A collection of pictures and effects are supplied with StageIT. They are divided into the following sections:

§          Images – pictures of miscellaneous items such as hydrants, ladders, signs, vehicles

§          Visual Effects – scaleable fire, hazmat, smoke, and smoke damage

§          Sound Effects – explosions, fire, sirens, radio communications

§          Photos – pictures of various types of buildings 

The images and photos supplied in the StageIT collections are accessed using standard Windows protocol. Clicking on the Media Library tab in the right-hand window within the application, if you have the Demo installation. Expand each category by clicking the plus sign next to the category (Images, Visual Effects, Sound Effects, and Photos) and then continue expanding until you find the correct effect. A preview of the image or effect can be seen in the bottom pane of the window. You can now click and drag any image into the center editing window to place it in the simulation. From there you can scale the fire and smoke animations or make the fire clip narrow or wider to fit. You can edit the clip or image properties to fit your simulation.

User Collections:
You can add your own photos, video and effects into the Media Library.  Any digital picture, digital video or digitized sound effect can be imported into the User Collections where you can edit the clip Properties just like with the StageIT Collections.
