Browsing Clips in the Media Pool
The following procedures show how to select one or more clips in the Media Pool to accomplish
various editing tasks, either by opening a clip in the Source Viewer, or selecting a group of clips
with which you want to do drag and drop editing. This section starts by presenting different
ways you can browse the contents of the Media Pool to find clips you want to use, in
preparation for making a selection for your next operation.
Methods of browsing clips in the Media Pool:
Using thumbnail hover scrub in the Media Pool’s Thumbnail view: Drag the pointer
over a thumbnail to scrub through its contents.

you can double-click a clip in the Filmstrip to open it into the Source Viewer.
