Searching for Unused Clips in Your Project

You can search for unused clips in your project.

To search for unused clips:

1

Do one of the following:

 Open your project.
 Make sure your project is the frontmost tab in the Browser.

2

Choose Edit > Find (or Press Command-F).

3

Choose your project from the Search pop-up menu.

4

Choose Unused Media from the For pop-up menu and deselect the “in selected
sequences” checkbox to the right of the menu.

5

Click Find All.

Manipulating Items in the Find Results Window

When you do a search for multiple items, Final Cut Pro displays the list of found items
in the Find Results window. The items displayed in the Find Results window are literally
identical to the items in the Browser. They are not copies of found clips, but the clips
themselves, shown in a new context. Selecting an item in the Find Results window also
selects the item in the Browser.

A list of unused clips is
displayed in the Find
Results window.
