Searching for a Clip or Sequence with Text Find
Text find allows you to enter text and search bins, Scripts and the Timeline for the information
you enter. You can customize your search by selecting to only search the active bin or search all
bins across a single project. Bins do not have to be open for the system to search in them, Find
searches all bins and scripts within your project. The text find feature is included with your Avid
editing application.
PhraseFind (the phonetic find feature) is purchased as a separate option. Both text find and
PhraseFind can be used together or independently of each other.
For information about the phonetic search option, see “PhraseFind” on page 543. If you have not
purchased PhraseFind and would like more information, click the PhraseFind button in the Find
window, then click Buy. You will be redirected to the Avid website to get more information
about PhraseFind. If the dialog box in the editor asks you to quit your Avid editing application,
click Cancel.

menu and type
+100f

3:10
(3 seconds and 10
frames) and you move forward 100 frames.
