I am working on 2 programs that have hundreds of short (10-30 frame) clips, many of them very similar in appearance.  I am at the final tweaking stage and I am mentally loosing track of which clips have been used already.  Is there a way to find this out without scanning the whole sequence.  I remember from my old Premiere days that a little mark would appear next to a clip in the bin if it had been used.

Thanks

Open all your bins, select the sequence you're working on, go to the bin Fast Menu and choose Select Media Relatives.  All shots used in that sequence will be highlighted.  It will highlight clips in  all open bins, too.

you can also try using dupe detection.

Timeline fast menu, check Dupe Detection.  Then if a shot is repeated in the timeline the top of the clip will get a colored line.

 Thanks to all

 ......This is also pretty cool. I'm making note of this as well

 

Keep in mind that for dupe detection to work, the clip has to be on the same track in the timeline.  So if you use a clip on V1, and the exact same part of that clip somewhere on V2, it won't recognize it as a duplicate.  They would both have to be on V1 or V2, etc, which kind of sucks and makes it less useful.

dupe detection is frame specific also, it doesn't tell you if a clip has already been used, only whether (or not) a particular frame has been used.
