For any field, you can replace every occurrence of a specific text string with different text.
parameters
| in this field | Field to be updated |
| change this text | Case-sensitive text to search for |
| to this text | Replacement text |
to substitute text
- Click the actions button
- Click substitute
- Fill out the form (see parameters above)
- Click substitute
For each clip in the found set, the selected field will be searched, and every instance of the specified text will be changed to the replacement text. Marvin supports modifications to all fields, but that doesn't mean Avid will accept changes to certain metadata that it considers uneditable when reimported.
