  locating Assets

  Posted by Ryan Risley on January 2, 2009 at 7:18 pm

  Hi,

  In Premiere Pro, I can right click on any video or audio clip in the timeline and I have an option “Reveal in Project”. This opens the bin and highlights that particular asset in my project window.

  In FCP, I only have the option to “Reveal in Finder” or “Open in Editor”. Neither of these do what I need – to locate that particular file in my asset window.

  Is possible in FCP? I know I can click in the asset window and start typing the file name – but this only works if the bin containing that item is open.

  Maybe I am muissing some shortcut key or something – any insight on this would be great! It is such a useful tool, that I will chose to edit in Premiere over FCP just for that feature. Would be wonderful to do that in FCP as well.

  Thanks in advance!

  I believe what you might be looking for is Match Frame (F) or in your case, maybe Shift-F.

  I mean, park your playhead over the clip in the timeline and hit Shift-F. This will find the clip/pic/asset in the browser. F just matches frame back to viewer.

  Good luck,

  Mike
