Sorting meta data

PostSun May 22, 2022 4:40 pm

Would be nice if multi-column sort was enabled on the metadata in the media pool window on the edit page i.e. being able to sort by scene, take, camera. Perhaps right-click to add a sort column?

Have you managed to select more than one sort key? Please tell :)

Don't forget you can make the clip (display) name a combo of metadata values - eg. %Scene_%Take_%WhateverElseYouFancy.

Search "Using Metadata Variables" in the manual

Great suggestion! This is what I do to properly order scene, shot, take (given that the built-in sort wasn't working).
