Now, in a real working session, you might have many tabs full of marked and commented clips. A
quick, broad search will often produce numerous matches. Your eye quickly picks out that
special one you are interested in, but you’d like to find its actual CLIPS LIST location, for other
management operations.
73. Navigate to the event row you’re after in Search Results, then punch GO TO.
That one event is immediately highlighted in its original CLIP LIST tab, ready for further
manipulation.
Tip: GO TO normally takes CLIP ID numbers as input. Alternatively, with a timecode entry in the
dataview, push SHIFT + GO TO. This engages Delayed playback mode, and jumps the playhead
immediately to the specified timecode.
4.9 TRIMMING EVENTS
74. Use the Arrow keys to navigate the CLIP LIST selection highlight into the In Point for an
event.
Normally, jogging through clips with the JOG wheel is bounded by the In Point and of the
selected event. What if you want to move outside those limits to re-trim a clip?
75. Hold down SHIFT while jogging. This lets you move into ‘uncharted territory’. Watch the
current timecode value in the Channel Info pane as you do so.
76. With SHIFT still depressed, press IN to update the set In Point for the event.
Tip: The same method allows you to edit the Out Point. Alternatively, you can drag left or
right with the mouse over a numeric field, or use direct text entry to modify the value in
the dataview and then press ENTER to complete the update.
4.10 MANAGING EVENTS
77. With the mouse, drag either the Event ID column entry or the Memo field for any clip in
an event up or down and release it, to re-order the events in the CLIP LIST.
