Project Panel

The Project panel is your file browser for managing all assets in your OverMox project. Use it to import media, create folders, and organize everything you need for your stream overlays and scenes.

Panel Overview

The Project panel has two main areas:

Area	Description
Folder Tree (left)	Shows your folder hierarchy for navigation
Asset View (right)	Displays the contents of the selected folder

2. Select Import from the context menu
3. Choose the asset type you want to import

Navigating Your Assets

Folder Tree

The folder tree on the left shows your project structure:

• Click a folder to view its contents
• Double-click to expand/collapse subfolders
• Drag folders to reorganize your structure

Search and Filter

Use the search bar at the top of the Project panel to quickly find assets:

• Type any part of an asset name to filter
• Search works across all folders in your project
• Clear the search to return to normal browsing

Quick Find

When you clear a search, the panel returns to showing the folder containing your last selected asset. This makes it easy to locate where something lives in your project.

Organizing Assets

Creating Folders

Keep your project tidy by organizing assets into folders:

1. Right-click in the asset view or folder tree
2. Select Create > Folder
3. Type a name for your new folder
4. Press Enter to confirm

Renaming

To rename an asset or folder:

1. Select the item
2. Right-click and choose Rename (or press F2)
3. Type the new name
4. Press Enter to confirm

Moving Assets

Drag assets between folders to reorganize:

• Drag from the asset view to a folder in the tree
• Drag to a folder icon in the asset view
• Drop on a folder to move the asset inside

Unique Names

You cannot move an asset to a folder that already contains an item with the same name. Rename one of them first.

Working with Assets

Selecting Assets

• Single click - Select an asset and view its properties in the Inspector
• Ctrl+Click - Add to selection (select multiple)
• Shift+Click - Select a range of assets
• Double-click - Open folders, or load scenes

Asset Preview

When you select an asset, you can see:

• Thumbnail preview in the asset view
• Detailed properties in the Inspector panel
• For media assets, resolution and format information

Using Assets in Your Scene

To use an asset, drag it from the Project panel to:

• The Stage - Creates a new scene object with the asset
• The Hierarchy - Creates a new scene object
• The Inspector - Assigns it to a property field

Quick Setup

Dragging an image directly to the Stage creates a ready-to-use panel with your image. Same goes for videos, audio, and 3D models.

Context Menu Options

Right-click an asset to see available actions:

Option	Description
Open	Opens folders, loads scenes
Duplicate	Creates a copy of the selected asset(s)

Creating New Assets

Beyond importing files, you can create certain assets directly:

Materials

Right-click and select Create > Material to create a new material asset. Configure it in the Inspector to set colors, textures, and rendering options.

Sources

Create live input sources for your stream:

• Video Device - Webcam or capture card input
• Window Capture - Capture a specific application window
• Desktop Capture - Capture your entire screen
• Web Source - Display a webpage or browser source
• NDI Source - Network video input
• Spout Source - Real-time video sharing

These appear as assets you can drag onto scene objects to display live content.

Tips for Organization

Folder Structure

Consider organizing by type (Images, Videos, Audio, Models) or by purpose (Alerts, Backgrounds, Characters). Find what works for your workflow.

Naming Convention

Use clear, descriptive names like “SubscriberAlert_Confetti” rather than “alert1”. Future you will thank present you.

Clean Up Unused

Periodically review your project and remove assets you are no longer using. This keeps your project manageable and reduces clutter.
