Sifting Clips and Sequences
When you sift clips, the bin displays only those clips that meet a specific set of criteria. For example, you can do a custom sift to display only those clips containing the word "close-up" in the heading column. The dialog box provides you with two sets of three levels of criteria.
To sift clips and sequences:
| 1. | |
Select Bin > Custom Sift.
|
The Custom Sift dialog box opens.
| 2. | |
Click the first Criterion pop-up menu, and select one of the sifting
options.
|
| 3. | |
Click the first Text to Find text box, and type the text that you want to
use as a sift criterion. When sifting by color, type the name of the color
exactly using uppercase and lowercase letters in the text box.
|
| 4. | |
Click the Column or Range to Search pop-up menu, and select a
column heading to which you want to apply the criterion.
|
| 5. | |
Type additional sift criteria, and make additional column selections, as
necessary.
|
Only the clips that meet your criteria remain in the bin, with the word
"sifted" added in parentheses to the bin name.
After you have sifted the clips in a bin, you can display the bin in a sifted or an unsifted state.
To view the entire bin:
|
|
Select Bin > Show Unsifted.
|
To view the sifted bin:
|
|
|
Select Bin > Show Sifted.
|
The word "sifted" appears in parentheses after the bin name when you are viewing a sifted state.
