Chapter 3 Organizing and Searching the Final Cut Server Catalog 73
2 In the Search Devices window that appears, choose the device to search from the
Device pop-up menu.
3 Click the Search button to search from the device’s root level. You can also click the
Choose button to open a dialog that allows you to specify a folder to search.
4 If you want to limit the search, enter a term in the search field or click the search
disclosure triangle to reveal advanced searching options.
Important: Be sure to enter entire words in the search field. Unlike the search field in
the Final Cut Server main window, the Search Devices search field does not return full
words if you search for a partial word. For example, if you want to find all assets that
contain the word frame, you must search for the entire word. Searching for fra only
finds assets with the characters fra and the word frame is not found.
5 Click the Search button.
Once you select one or more items, you can choose to do the following actions by
Control-clicking the filename in the list of search results and choosing one of these
options from the shortcut menu:
 Catalog asset: Adds the file to the Final Cut Server catalog.
 Get Info: Displays an info window that summarizes information and metadata for
the file.
 View: Displays the file in the appropriate application (often the location in which the
file was created).
 Export: Exports the file.
 Duplicate: Duplicates the file.
 Delete: Deletes the file from the device.
