 Click Find to find the item.

Final Cut Pro finds the first item that matches the selected criteria from the current
position of the playhead
to the end of the sequence. It does not find clips that begin
before the position of the playhead, nor does it wrap around to the beginning of the
sequence. If a clip name is matched, the clip is selected.

 Click Find All to find all clip items that match the search criteria.

All clip items that are found are selected in the Timeline. When a marker is found, the
playhead is positioned at the nearest marker after the playhead.

To cycle through items in the Timeline that match the search criteria:

m

Follow the steps above, then choose Edit > Find Next (or press Command-G or F3).

To search for an item backward from the position of the playhead:

m

Follow the steps above, then press Shift-F3.
