Hi, In the media pool, Is there a way to identify the clips that have been used on the timeline?

Thank you,
Bob

In the edit/index. Or if you do thumbnail mode you'll see if there's an in-out point under the thumbnail image. Would be nice to be more explicit though!

You can get information about usage, by for example getting a column in the list view called "usage".



You can see number of times, clip was used in a timeline. If you click on it in the menu you can find the timelime.



And if you have large project with lot of clips and thumbnails with lot of offline and online stuff, you can update the usage data.



Ingest and Organize Media | Chapter 18 Adding and Organizing Media with the Media Pool page 402 of the reference manual has more information. You can find it in the help menu.

Thumbnail Clip Usage Indicators

Whenever you open a timeline, all thumbnails in the Media Pool automatically update to show highlighted usage bars to let you know which parts of that clip are used in that timeline.

Colored red highlights at the bottom of the thumbnail indicate which parts of a clip are used by the currently open timeline. If you right-click on a thumbnail that shows usage, a Usage submenu shows you a list of each instance of that clip in the currently open timeline. Choosing an instance from this list jumps the playhead to that clip in the Timeline.

This is great information. Thank you all. This is a big help.
