  • Searching locators?

    Posted by Nicole Rittenmeyer on November 4, 2009 at 4:41 pm

    We have 900 hours of archival footage for a 4 hour tv show, way more than we’ve ever dealt with before, and we’re having trouble managing all this media! The ability to search for a keyword in our medialogs, by sifting all our clip bins simultaneously, would be a gift from the gods….but we can’t, correct? Does anyone know of a software adaptation that exists for this? Or maybe a way to search all locators simultaneously across bins? We’re cutting on an Avid Mojo and spending way too much time searching for clips we know we saw somewhere…

    thanks in advance for your help!

    In Find choose Timeline and Monitors then it will search the text of Locators on the timeline, but not in a bin unfortunately.

    Also each time you hit Find, it will jump you to the next locator result, it doesn’t give a list of all locators containing your search string
