How to tag your clips by hand
Tags are how you find things later. The more you tag, the faster your library becomes. You can add tags by hand in a few different places.
Tagging while you import
When you bring files in, any tags you type during import are applied to every file in that batch. This is the quickest way to label a whole shoot at once, for example a location or a project name. You can always add more specific tags to individual clips afterwards.
Tagging a single result
In the Search tab, hover over a result and choose Edit tags. The tag box works like this:
- Type a word and press Enter or comma to add it as a tag.
- Press Backspace to remove the last tag you added.
- As you type, autocomplete suggests tags you already use, so you reuse the same words instead of creating near-duplicates.
Copying tags between clips
If two clips should share the same tags, open the first one and choose Copy these tags, then open the second and choose Paste tags. It is a fast way to keep similar shots consistent.
Tagging several clips at once
Choose Select in Search, tick the assets you want, then use Add tags to apply tags to all of them in one go, or Remove tags to strip a tag from the whole selection. This is ideal after a big import when many clips need the same label.
