Browser view options

The icons in the top-right corner of the Browser contain the same two buttons as in the Import window, along with a drop-down Clip Filtering menu on the left, and a search icon on the right. We’ll cover all these soon:

Figure 4.9: Look for these items in the top-right corner of the Browser

As in the Import window, you’ll find a Filmstrip/List toggle button at the top right:

Figure 4.10: If you’re in List view, the icon shows a filmstrip (seen on the right) and in Filmstrip view, you’ll see a list icon instead

The icon indicates not the current state, but what you’ll switch to if you click on it:

• List view is ideal for visually repetitive A-roll, especially interviews, where the thumbnails aren’t going to be very informative.
• Filmstrip view is ideal for B-roll and anything else you can visually scan.

You’ll flip between these views frequently...
