Basic Search Terms
You can use Boolean modifiers to limit or expand your footage search.
• Use the following modifiers: AND, NOT & OR (entered as capital letters).
• AND: Use when you want to return clips featuring both terms. For example, a search of
butterfly AND yellow returns clips with keywords “butterfly” and the color “yellow.”
• NOT: Use when you want to exclude certain clips from a search. For example, a search for
butterfly NOT swimming returns clips containing the keyword “butterfly” but eliminates
those clips with “swimming.” In this case, swimmers doing the butterfly stroke would not
appear in the search results.
