Chapter 3 Managing Media
Organizing Media in Your Bin
The find tab displays all of the assets on the MediaFrame server. You can put assets
you are working with into a bin. You can view the bin in Thumbnail or List View.
To put assets in your bin:
1. In the list of assets, check the box for each of the assets you want in your bin.
2. Click the bin tab to see your selected assets.
Searching for Clips
The search function compares your search criteria with asset metadata (text fields)
and returns the results.
To perform a simple search, enter the search criteria in the text field and click Go .
Example:
For example, searching for "fire" would return matches for:
• Fire on Elm Street
• firefighter
• fireman
• A number of fires...
You may also use three types of logical operators in a search string:
The AND operator is implied when no explicit operator is used between words.
So, the following search would return all assets that contain "fire" along with "elm"
or "downtown", but nothing that contains "uptown".
NOTE: Searching for short strings can be system- and time-intensive. Whenever
possible, use longer strings, multiple strings, or filters.
" " Words in quotes to invoke exact match
- To exclude a specific word
OR To provide an alternate match in the search
