Additionally, when a keyword is applied to a clip or clip range, a Keyword Collection
appears in the Libraries sidebar. A Keyword Collection contains pointers (aliases) to clips
tagged with a specific keyword. For example, if you apply the keyword “water” to all clips
containing water, you can then select the “water” Keyword Collection in the Libraries
sidebar to view all clips containing the “water” keyword in the browser.
You can apply one or more keywords to a range within a clip, a whole clip, or a group of
clips in an event.
Note:
If you used project folders in the Project Library in previous versions of Final Cut Pro
and you updated those projects to Final Cut Pro 10.1 or later, the projects have keywords
reflecting the names of the project folders.
Add keywords using the keyword editor
1. In the browser in Final Cut Pro, select a range or one or more clips to which you want to
add keywords.
2. To open the keyword editor, click the Keywords button in the toolbar.
3. At the top of the keyword editor, type the keyword or keyword phrase you want to apply
to the selection, then press Return.
