In the Event Browser, what’s indicated by a horizontal purple or blue line across the top of a clip?
A purple line indicates that a clip received a keyword during analysis; a blue line indicates that a keyword was applied to a clip.
Name three methods that allow you to add a keyword to clips.
Select clips in the Event Browser, click the Keyword Editor button, or press Command-K. Then type your keyword and press Return. If you created a keyword shortcut, you can select clips and press the shortcut. You can also drag clips from the Event Browser to an existing Keyword Collection in the Event Library.
How do you add a keyword to only the selected clip range?
Skim a clip in the Event Browser and press I to set a range start and O to mark a range end. Then use one of the three available methods to add a keyword.
How do you delete a keyword range or multiple keyword
ranges from a clip?
With the Event Browser set to list view, select the keyword appearing beneath the clip, then press the Delete key. To remove all keywords applied to a selected Event Browser clip, choose Mark > Remove All Keywords, or press Control-0 (zero).
Describe how to add a note to a clip in the Event Browser.
Select a clip, click in the Note column field in the Event Browser, enter your text, and press Return.
How do you view only those clips that were rated as Favorites?
In the Event Library, select the Event you want to search. Then choose Favorites from the Filter pop-up menu at the top of the Event Browser.
How do you rate a clip?
In the Event Browser, select one or more clips. Click the Favorite button in the toolbar or press the F key, or click the Reject button in the toolbar or press the Delete key. In the Event Browser, a green line appears at the top of favorite frames and a red line appears at the top of rejected frames.
What’s the difference between a Keyword Collection and a Smart Collection?
A Keyword Collection gathers all the clips to which you or Final Cut Pro assigned a keyword. A Smart Collection gathers all the clips that match specified search criteria. Unlike Keyword Collections, which are text based, Smart Collections can be based on camera metadata, such as frame rate or size. Clips can be assigned to multiple Keyword Collections and Smart Collections.
How do you create a Smart Collection?
Select an Event and use the Filter window to search for clips based on specified criteria. In the Filter window, click the New Smart Collection button. A new, untitled Smart Collection appears in the Event Library. Type a name for the Smart Collection, then press Return.
How do you search for a clip that isn’t part of a Keyword
Collection?
From the filter pop-up menu, choose “No Ratings or Keywords.” In the search field, enter the clip name. Only clips with matching text in their names or notes will appear in the list.
