Managing Clip Information in Text View
For additional bin
shortcuts, see the Avid
Media Composer Quick
Reference.
There are several ways to manage clip information in Bin columns.
These methods include copying information between cells, moving
information between whole columns, sorting clip information, and
modifying clip data, as described in this section.
Moving Within Column Cells
Use the keyboard shortcuts to move from cell to cell in bin columns:
• Tab : Moves the pointer to the parallel cell in the next column. You
can continue to press the Tab key to scroll through the cells to the
right until the cell in the last column is highlighted. The next time
you press the Tab key, the cell in the first column is highlighted.
• Shift+Tab: Moves the pointer left to the cell in the previous col-
umn. You can continue to press the Shift+Tab keys to scroll
through cells to the left until the cell in the first column is high-
lighted. The next time you press Shift+Tab, the cell in the last col-
umn is highlighted.
• Return: Enters any new information typed into the cell and moves
the pointer down to the cell in the next row. You can continue to
press the Return key to scroll down the column until the last cell in
the column is highlighted. The next time you press the Return key,
the first cell in the column is highlighted.
• Shift+Return: Moves the pointer up to the cell in the previous
row. You can continue to press the Shift+Return keys until the cell
in the top row is highlighted. The next time you press the
Shift+Return keys, the cell in the last row is highlighted.
Modifying Clip Information
You can change or modify the information in certain columns for your
master clips, subclips, tapes, and other objects stored in the bin. This is
especially useful if some of the data is incorrect, or if you need to con-
form information for organizational purposes.
