Using Categories

When using the categories system all video clips (and other Dartfish projects) in the Library will be listed in the Items List. That could amount to a lot of files! You can filter the Items List to show only relevant clips by selecting the categories or values for those clips.


Filtering the Items List by category

1.   Display the Library module

2.	In the Categories List, click the box next to the category of video you want to search for. A binocular symbol appears in the box and all values within that category will also be selected

   

3.	The Items List will display all clips which are labeled with values from that category.

Filtering the Items List by value

1.	In the Categories list, click the [+] symbol next to the category containing the value you want to filter by. An expanded list of values is displayed.

2.	Click the box next to the value of video you want to search for. A binocular symbol appears in the box. The Items List will display all clips which are labeled with values from that category.

You can select multiple values to refine your search


Removing filters

1.	EITHER: Click the box next to each category or value that you want to exclude from the filter such that the binocular symbol disappears.

2.	OR: Click the Show All button above the Items List.
