    Is there a way to search for just a still or just footage? When I do a search now, even if I’m in the footage catalog (vs. the stills catalog), it searches everything.

    Add one of the stock fields to your search like Codec or Type. Then you can only return clip or still or QT or whatever you like.

    How about searching for clips that do – or do not – have preview clips (proxies) associated? We made a field to track whether clips have been submitted to Worker to render as proxies, and it works well — except when there’s an issue that prevents a proxy from being completed. The field “Preview File”, which contains the path to the proxy media, can’t be queried (as in Preview File = IS BLANK). Is there any other way to find missing proxies?

    I’ve not explored it. We usually have users report them and the assist or whoever, refires the script since it doesn’t happen too much.

    If it’s a problem, a checker” script could be easily written. (I’ll try to test and see if the CLI in Worker 4 can see that field if I get a chance.)
