Yes that’s what I mean – I have chosen the only field that is not searchable.

Yes. It seems that I may have chosen the only field that is not searchable – which as previously mentioned is the most prominent field on the BMCC metadata menu!
-
Thanks for that.
I’ve just looked in the BMCC metadata menu and i was changing the Project Name. This seems to come up as Clip ID in inspector on FCPX. Does that change anything?
-
Yes, in my attempts to work it out.
Noah – could you explain what you mean? I’m still very new to FCPX.
Thanks

Well, I initially wanted to use it because it is the largest (in the BMCC menu) unique identifier option and is at the top – this means that when I need to very quickly change the identifying word it is the first and easiest option.
After concluding the above I checked with blackmagic technical support that it would be easily searchable within FCPX – which they informed me it would be.
I chose not to use scene and take because these are both restricted to numerical values in the BMCC menu and I needed to assign specific words to clips. -
So I need to search my clips using the clip ID section – in this example it is “p.e.”
-
When you ask if they are working what do you mean?
Searching in the browser does not return any results except for clip names and I have far too much footage to rename each clip.
Please excuse my lack of FCPX knowledge – I very recently made the switch. -
I’ve tried all the metadata views and made a custom one to include ‘clip id’s’.
Clip ID is something you can assign to a clip in the metadata function of a Black Magic Cinema Camera.
Really (and what I thought I was going to be able to do) is to be able to search the whole library for clips with a certain word used in the ‘clip ID’ section of the BMCC.
