Delete a Smart Collection
1. In the Libraries sidebar in Final Cut Pro, select the Smart Collection you want to delete.
2. Choose File > Delete Smart Collection (or press Command-Delete).
The Smart Collection is removed from the library, but its associated items (the clips and
projects that appeared in it) are unaffected.
Tip: To create a Keyword Collection for an entire library, create a library Smart
Collection using one or more keywords as the search criteria.
Organize Smart Collections in Final Cut Pro
You can organize Keyword Collections and Smart Collections in events using folders, and
you can copy collections between folders and between events.
Additionally, every library you create comes with a Smart Collections folder containing a
default set of Smart Collections:
• All Video
• Audio Only
• Favorites
• Projects
• Stills
You can rename any collection and adjust its search criteria. You can also add or delete
collections from the library Smart Collections folder, or delete the entire folder.
Organize collections with folders
1. In the Libraries sidebar in Final Cut Pro, select the event containing the collections you
want to organize, then choose File > New > Folder (or press Shift-Command-N).
2. Type a name for the new folder that appears within the event, then press Return.
3. Select the Smart Collections and Keyword Collections you want to organize, then drag
them into the new folder.
You can show and hide the contents of the folder by clicking the disclosure triangle to the
left of the folder’s name.
