Options for Defining the Scope of a Search
When you are searching for clips, you may sometimes want to search within a single bin,
while other times you may need to search every open project. The Find window allows
you to define the scope of your search.
• Search: Choose an option from this pop-up menu to specify which open projects or
folders you want to search—All Open Projects, the current open project, the Effects
tab, or a single bin.
Note: You can only search a single bin if the bin is the frontmost window. Since the
Find Results window is considered a bin, you can also limit your search within the Find
Results window if it is the active window.
• For: Choose an option from the pop-up menu to limit your search.
• All Media: Includes all clips in your project, regardless of whether or not they are
used in a sequence.
• Used or Unused: These two options refer to whether or not clips are used within
sequences in your project. You can also search within specific sequences. Final Cut Pro
considers a clip’s media file to be used if it is in a sequence. If you have used a clip
in a sequence, the assumption is that you intend to output the portion of media file
it refers to in your final edit. Any clip not used in a sequence is considered unused.
• Results: Choose how you want the search results to be shown.
• Replace Find Results: Choose this to clear and replace any previous find results with
new find results.
