Click the Search button.

Then click Search.

Choose a search type

from the pop-up menu.

Enter a search term.

Every asset and production that contains the search criteria you entered is returned, and
the number of assets found appears in the bottom of the main window.

Important:

After entering a search term, the search field remembers the term you last

entered. This makes it simple for you to repeat the search you entered previously. To
clear the search field, you must click the delete button on the far right of the search field
or delete the search term.

Doing an Advanced Search

When you click to open the search disclosure triangle, you see the advanced search fields.
These fields let you search specific metadata fields in an asset or production for the term
or terms you enter.

The Assets and Productions panes have different advanced search fields.

The Productions pane’s

Note: If the advanced search fields in your copy of Final Cut Server are different than the
fields shown above, your Final Cut Server administrator has customized the advanced
search fields. Talk to your administrator about how to use fields specific to your
organization.
