    Do you remember what that clip is called, or the tape it’s from? If so, use the Sift function on your bins to narrow it down by tape, name, timecode, etc…, any identifying feature. Check the Help file for more info on Sift.

    Also, have you used any part of that clip in your timeline? If so, match frame that clip then use the Find Bin command (you may need to go to your Command Palette and add it to your timeline buttons or keyboard).

    Michael.

    PS. Please don’t type in all caps. It comes across like you’re shouting.

    If you dont want to open all you bins, maybe just open the Media Tool select master clips from that project and then use the Sift function
