Here is what's happening. APE is closed. I have copied lots of video clips from my camera to a folder in my PC. When I next open APE, I find all the video clips have been added to my catalog. I don't want this to happen as I only use APE for photos. My videos are stored in another system. Clearly I have a switch somewhere that is watching for the video clips to be added to the machine. How do I stop this? I would prefer to manually add any clips or photos to the catalog.

And I don't know if this would be of any help to you, but pressing Ctrl+2 toggles the visibility of all videos in the Organizer catalog.

Are you editing the files in Premiere Elements? If so, I believe that when you save the project, the videos that are included will be saved in the Organizer. I don't know of any way to prevent this from happening. Perhaps you can ask over in the Premiere Elements forum.
