Automatically Arranging Clips in Icon View

When you’re in icon view in the Browser, you can organize clip icons however you
want. You can use the Arrange commands to automatically arrange your icons from left
to right, either in alphabetical order or by duration, within the current width of the
Browser or bin window. This is useful if the Browser or a bin window has overlapping
icons or if you find yourself constantly scrolling to see icons.

To arrange items in the Browser into rows in icon view, do one of the following:

m

Choose View > Arrange, then select by Name or by Duration.

m

Control-click in an empty area of the Browser, then choose Arrange by Name or
Arrange by Duration from the shortcut menu.
