Using Keywords
While most metadata in the Metadata Editor is edited via text fields, checkboxes, or multiple button selections (such as Flags and Clip Color), the Keyword field is unique in that it uses a graphical “tag” based method of data entry. The purpose of this is to facilitate consistency with keyword spelling by making it easy to reference both a built-in list of standardized keywords, as well as other keywords that you’ve already entered to other clips.
Once added, keywords are incredibly useful for facilitating searching and sorting in the Media Pool, for creating Smart Bins in the Media and Edit pages, and for use in Smart Filters on the Color page. Reaping these benefits by adding and editing keywords is simple and works similarly to the method of entering metadata variables that’s described above.
1 Select one or more clips, then click in the Keyword field of the Metadata Editor, and begin typing the keyword you want to use. As you begin typing, a scrolling list appears showing all keywords that are available using the string of characters you’ve just typed.
