Reviewing and selecting assets
If you need to review several assets, you can use the right, left, up and down arrows to select an asset by stepping through the search results or, when in the list view, stepping up and down the list. The first arrow click selects the first asset in the view.
If you need to select multiple assets (e.g. to put them in the Cart, create a Collection, or edit metadata in bulk), you can do so using common Windows and Mac keyboard shortcuts:
- Click and drag
- Ctrl/Cmd + click (to select multiple individual clips)
- Ctrl/Cmd + A (select all)
- Shift + click (to select a continuous range of clips)
- Esc / click on the background to clear the selection
Selecting/De-selecting Asset types
To narrow down your search results, you can filter by Asset Type. You can either de-select each Asset Type in turn, or you can use the Ctrl/Cmd + click on the Asset Type to de-select all Asset Types other than the one you clicked.
Want to search for all Asset Types again? Simply Ctrl/Cmd + click on the Asset Type you're currently filtering by and it will automatically re-select all other Asset Types.
