Grouping mode
Use grouping mode to view all the clips in a catalog by tape, bin, or other picklist property. Select the property to group by from the drop down list at the left of the window, then select the particular item to view.
- Press the grouping button to toggle grouping on and off (you can have 0, 1 or 2 grouping columns, shown at the left of the window).
- Select the property to group by (eg. 'Date') from the drop down list. A list of all the distinct dates recording dates contained in the catalog is then shown.
- Select a value from that list. Only those clips from that date are shown.
More advanced operations are possible:
- With two grouping columns you can quickly correlate two sets of grouping properties, for example find all the tapes which contain recordings at 32kHz, or see the range of dates covered by stills in a particular folder.
- To rename an entire existing tape or bin name, click on that item in the grouping list and type in a new name.
- As a convenient way of editing many clips in one go you can change the tape or bin that a particular set of clips belongs to by dragging and dropping them onto an item from the grouping list.
- Create your own user-defined grouping properties in the Customise views dialog.
