Add keywords to clips
You can apply keywords to your clips to help you quickly locate the clips you need to compose
your movie. After you apply a keyword to a clip or clip range, the clip or range is marked with
a blue line in the Browser. (Clips that have analysis keywords, which are automatically applied
after certain types of analysis, are marked with a purple line. For more information, see
on page 50.)
Additionally, when a keyword is applied to a clip or clip range, a Keyword Collection appears in
the Libraries list. A Keyword Collection contains pointers (aliases) to clips tagged with a specific
keyword. For example, if you apply the keyword “Nicholas” to all clips containing Nicholas, you
can then select the Nicholas Keyword Collection in the Libraries list to view all clips containing
the “Nicholas” keyword in the Browser.
