  • FIND in Description column

    Posted by Neil Ryan on August 3, 2005 at 3:39 am

    Is it just me?
    I can’t access the DESCRIPTION column in FCP’s Find function.
    Can see all others (well, a lot, anyway …)
    FCP 5.02

    Is it me … is it a bug?

    Thanks

    It’s true.
    You can export as TAB delimited and rename to master comment 1 for example.
    Re-import, reconnect….
    I had more than 30.000 descriptions for my sound archive.
    No fun.

    I can’t reproduce this. Could it be a language version thing? If I select a clip and go to logging info (I use Cmd-Shift-L),I tab once and Description is active and type in gaga. Then do a browser search for gaga Find All locates the one shot. Is this not happening for you?

    Hi Tom,
    it will find the shot via “find all”.
    But because I have so many clips I wanted to narrow the search just to the “description” column.
    Just to speed up search. That doesn’t work.

    Greetings

    I see what you mean. It’s missing from the column selection popup. I guess you sent in feedback on it. Probably just a silly oversight. I wonder if it was gone from earlier versions.
