Searching for Content in the Media Pool
An optional Search field can be opened at the top of the Media Pool that lets you quickly find
clips by name, partial name, or any of a wide variety of Media Pool metadata.
To search for a clip by name:
1 Select which bin or bins you want to search.
2 Click the magnifying glass button at the upper right-hand corner of the Media Pool.
3 Choose the particular column of information you want to search (or All Fields to search
all columns) using the Filter by pop-up menu. Only selected bins will be searched.
4 Type your search string into the Search field that appears. A few letters should be
enough to isolate only those clips that have that character string within their name.
Toshow all clips again, click the cancel button at the right of the search field.
TIP: Smart Bins are essentially multi-criteria search operations that scope the entire
project at once and are saved for future use.
Taking Advantage of the Media Pool’s Usage Column
In List view, the Usage column does not automatically update to show how many times a
particular clip has been used. However, you can manually update this metadata by right-clicking
within the Media Pool and choosing Update Usage Data from the contextual menu that
appears. Afterwards, each clip will display how many times it’s been used in this column. Clips
that have not been used yet display an x.
