We’re going to take as an exemple the Video > Transcoding > General. Once you’re in the right menu, to load some videos, (in the Vidéo(s) source tab) click on the button Add (the icon is representing an opening directory), …
… in the Searching videos window, on the left side, select the directory (if needed, look in the sub directories), look for the video(s). If you want to select more than one video at the same time, keep the CTRL (ou SHIFT) pushed (and by selecting them at the same time), click on Add …
Your videos have been added to the list.
You can now use your videos (pay attention, EKD will work with one video at the time, so for the moment there’s no treatment of a batch of videos). Before entering in the details for our transcoding, we’re going to check all the possibilities about informations, playing and displaying the video you select (be sure to select the right video in the list). The last option is the possibility to get some video files out of the list and the displaying of the icons in different ways.

You can get some complete informations on the selected video, and this is possible by the button Infos.
a3) Playing and displaying
As you can see in the image below, you can play the video in this tab (but also to pause it or stop it as well) and this is possible with the buttons made for that. You can set a resolution for the displaying : in 4/3, in 16/9, or in the original definiton of the video (w;h). For this last choice, be careful as not all the videos offer the possibility to be read at their original resolution.
