Sorting and Searching
Once you’ve imported media into your project, searching and sorting controls help you find
what you need.
Searching
A search field lets you type a term you want to use to find one or more clips that match that
criteria. When you type anything, the contents of the Media Pool shrink to show only clips that
match your criteria.
Sort Media By
The Sort Media By drop-down menu lets you choose which criteria defines the order in which
clips in the Media Pool are arranged. Options include: Timecode, Camera, Duration, or
Clip Name, and you can choose to sort in Ascending (bottom to top) or Descending (top to
bottom) order.
The Sort Media By drop-down menu
TIP: If you want to sort by a criteria that’s not in the drop-down menu, you can switch
the Media Pool to List view, then sort by any column you might want (such as
“Date Created”), and then switch back to Icon or Filmstrip view.
Finding Timeline Clips in the Media Pool
From time to time, you’ll find yourself wanting to find the source clip in the Media Pool that
corresponds to a clip in the Timeline. For example, you might want to go back to a part of an
interview clip you’ve already used to find another phrase on the same topic.
To find a timeline clip in the Media Pool:
Right-click a clip in the Timeline, and choose Find in Media Pool from the contextual
menu. The corresponding clip is selected in the Media Pool, which scrolls to show that
clip, if necessary.
