2. Select “Append Data To New Atom/Box” from the “Tools” menu.
3. Select any file that you want to attach to the opened in AtomBox Studio media file.
4. Select the name of the atom/box which will be attached at the end of the file.
The selected file will be wrapped into a valid atom/box with the specified name and will be attached at the end of the file, keeping the existing structure of the file valid and correct.
Once encapsulated the user data can be extracted from the appended atom/box.
