    Posted by David Hames on June 20, 2007 at 4:09 pm

    Is there a way to open multiple disclosure triangles at the same time? I want to open them on dozens of FCP clips so the “FIND” feature can see the Markers and their comments–FIND won’t see them if the triangles are closed. Sure, I can open each triangle one at a time, but that seems unproductive, especially when I might have hundreds of clips–is there a more effecient way?

    Thanks,

    David

    The Find function in the browser doesn’t search markers regardless if the clips are open or not.

    All the best,

    Thanks. When I ran a quick test, I put some markers in audio only files, and when I clicked on the “find next” it did find the odd keywords I put in them. However, I just discovered this only works with audio files.

    It seems silly that there’s no way to search the text contained in markers. They are a great way to “mark” a great moment within a clip and note its content. How ineffecient to have to go to the clip and enter the comment within the log note or other column entry points. And even then, you still don’t know exactly where in the clip that magical moment happened. It’s like half the results for twice the work. Pardon my rant, but Markers seem like such an obvious thing to be able to search.

    Thanks again,

    David
