Searching For Media In a Massive Timeline in Final Cut Pro
You've just completed the most ambitious documentary you have ever produced, creating a large and involved timeline filled with various audio clips, graphic elements created in Photoshop and sequences on top of more sequences. Much to your dismay, one of your interviewees contacts you to say that a still image she given to you is no longer relevant to the subject your project covers. This is how you would EFFICIENTLY go about finding that clip in a massive timeline!
Searching for text or timecode in a sequence:
1. Press the home key to position the playhead at the beginning of the sequence to enable the ENTIRE sequence for search OR simply place the playhead where you wish to start the search.
2. Choose Edit > Find.
3. Enter the text or timecode number you want to search for.
4. Choose the type of item to search for in the pop-up menu.
5. Choose the tracks to search from in the Where pop-up menu.
6. Click Find or Click Find All.
