The search tool can be useful, for example, when you need to identify clips of a certain resolution in an archive containing clips of multiple resolutions. You can do this by selecting the corresponding criterion (Resolution) and setting the required arguments in the related fields (Specific Width, Specific High, and Aspect Ratio) as shown in the following illustration.
