Browsing and Viewing Clips in the List View
 
 
 

The list view presents clip metadata in a sortable table with repositionable columns.

To browse and view clips using the list view:

  1. In the network tree, navigate to the library or reel of interest.
  2. From the View menu, select List View.

    The list of clips contained in the library or reel appears in the list view. The list view contains one row for each clip in the current library or reel.

  3. Optional: Rearrange columns by dragging them to their new position.
  4. Optional: Sort the list by clicking a column header.
  5. Select a row to view its thumbnail in the Clip Details area.
  6. Optional: Expand the selection of any network item — a host, volume, project, library or reel — all at once. From the Selection menu, click Expand Children.

    A confirmation dialog appears, cautioning you that the operation can take some time.

  7. Click OK in the dialog.

    This populates the list view with information on all nodes found in the sub-hierarchy, including clips, reels, libraries, and projects.

    • In the Network tree, a spinning cursor indicates the recursive scan is in process. All sub-items are expanded.
    • As the scan proceeds, the list view is populated by the incoming stream of metadata.
    • Once complete, the results persist until you select something else in the Network tree. However, the data is cached locally for the duration of the session. The second time you expand the selection in the same place the results are loaded immediately.
  8. To switch back to thumbnail mode, from the View menu, select Thumbnails.
