128 Chapter 8 Commands
Find/Replace Finds and optionally replaces specified text. When applied to the Media
window, this allows you to locate media items by specifying the name of the
media file, or any part of its path name. The command operates on the infor-
mation shown in the “File Location” column of the Media window, indicating
the relative or absolute path to the media file.
You can use the Replace function to update the path to media files after they
have been moved to another disk or folder. For instance, if you start out with
your media files on a shared server during the early stage of production, you
may later want to move all media files into a sub-folder of the folder containing
the presentation file. After transferring the files, use the Find/Replace
command to change the absolute part of the path name (beginning with a ‘/’
character) to a relative (that is, beginning with the name of a folder located in
the same folder as your presentation).
As an example, assume that the media files were stored in a folder named
“WATCHOUT/Production1/Media” on a network volume named “E:” during
