Optimisation of the "Find" Option

Alessandro

Hi
I find the "find" option lacking of an essential tool: find next.

Currently you can only "find" or "find all". It would be great to hit "find" and then "find next".

If you're not familiar, it's a bit like in Microsoft Word.

Is this a feature that can potentially be integrated in Excalibur?

Many thanks

As far as I can see you can hit "Find" button in Find dialogue and it will select next clip. So it works as "find next".
What you can do is to create user command:

Keyboard Shortcut: Find command
Keyboard Shortcut: Enter

Sir_Ivan Hi, when hit "Find" it will only show you the first result after your cursor then close the Find window.
I tried the used command but won't work as "find next".

This is something that across forums often comes up - hopefully it will be possible to find a way.

Sir_Ivan

In my case it works.
For example I look for a clip with "Violet" label. After using Find once it will select the closest clip to playhead and move playhead to start of the clip. After that if I will use Find again with the same criteria, it will select next closest clip after current one.

Sir_Ivan

The idea is that you need to call Find window and close it each time, to get to next clip.
