Thanks Bill.
I know it’s the old way of picking out shots by selecting in and outs and then putting them on the timeline but the reason for which I did it was just to get an overview of how it all looked.
Probably a more efficient way to do it by key wording beforehand but it’s a short promo and I was hoping the keywording or ‘favoriting’ could be decided from a command whilst in the timeline – would seem logical to be able to go back ‘upstream’ on the workflow when it comes to metadata (well you can but it requires Shift -F) .
Oliver’s suggestion worked well (thanks!) and by copying only the used clips to a new event I got only the clips I needed in the event and the ins and outs.
Now I can key word them in more detail.
