Finding Remote Assets
You find Avid assets stored in the Interplay database by searching Interplay folders.
The most common method of finding remote assets is to perform a search based on attributes.
The Interplay Window searches for the attributes associated with Avid assets. Each attribute can
define statistical information (such as the date) or descriptive information (such as clip name).
The search function lets you search by a date, a word, or a few characters.
The database returns the results of any search in the Research panel, which lets you access more
detailed information about displayed assets.

You can have multiple searches running at the same time.
Typically, you conduct database searches for Avid assets based on their associated attributes. For
example, you could find all master clips modified in the last hour, all sequences in a particular
project, or all subclips in a particular project that have the word “feature” in their names.

Interplay Access includes an extended search with additional features for searching the Interplay
database.
Performing Searches on Interplay Folders
A search tab is always available in the Research panel (labeled Media Search before you perform
a search). You can define your search based on standard media attributes, described in “Search
Attributes for the Interplay Window” on page 1192. You can open multiple search tabs and keep
the additional tabs open, as described in “Keeping Search Results in the Interplay Window” on
page 1193.
