Finding Frames, Clips, and Bins
542
• All tabs: Clips and Sequences, Script Text, and Timeline and Monitors tab apply to text find.
• The system does not search and find referenced clips in a sequence.
• If you make a change to a bin (or add a new clip to the bin), you must save the bin first in
order for the system to find the changes.
• The system searches through all available columns in your bins including metadata columns,
even if they are not visible in your current bin.
• The use of quotes in search queries has no affect on your results.
• The following characters: @#$%^&*()=+[]\ are recognized by text find.
• When you perform an Edit While Capture in an Interplay environment, you need to update
the bin so that the system indexes your new media. After you capture, right-click the clip in
the bin and select Update from Interplay. Then save the bin. When you perform a text find,
the system should find the new captured clips.
• To make sure all your open bins are indexed, click the Project window and select File > Save
All. This will save all opened bins. When the Bin Index light turns solid green, perform your
search. This will ensure that your results include the most up-to-date files.
• Before you filter to refine your results, you need to first perform a find, then the Filter
columns are selectable.
To open a search window:
1. Press Ctrl+F (Windows) or Cmd+F (Macintosh), or select Edit > Find.
The Find window opens.
