results
If there were no errors, you have several options:
- update more - Clears the options but maintains the selected clip/sequence
- undo - Reverts the changes that were just made
- reset form - Clears the options as well as the selected clip/sequence
notes
- Multi-find performs an exact match search on the data, so if your clip names include ".mov", then the pasted list of clips must also contain ".mov" at the end of each.
- If the dropped clips contain duplicate names, you must choose to either select the dupes or continue anyway.
- If the pasted clip names do not appear in the dropped clips, you must remove the problem names before continuing.
tips
- If you manually update the track or color of any markers after dropping the clip/sequence, click the refresh button below the drop zone to update the values in the dropdown menus.
- If you want to start over with a different clip/sequence, you can either drag and drop a different clip/sequence or click the X button below the drop zone to reset the form.
