Searching in Clip Link

When you first log in to Clip Link, you’ll see a screen like this.

If you know what you’re looking for, you can type in a keyword to see all assets which have been tagged as relevant to that word. You can also click the grey saved searches icon () to view any pinned searches your company may have created for you at an admin level.

If you’re not sure exactly what you’re looking for, simply click the search icon () to view the entire library of assets that you have access to. To find what you need, select the media categories you are interested in browsing assets for using the icons on the left side of the screen.

Using what you've found

Using the options on the left, you can narrow your search down by asset type, show AI generated assets, and filter search results with a range of settings.

Assets can be displayed as thumbnails or as a list by selecting from one of the two available icons from the top right-hand side of the screen (). Asset sizes can be adjusted using the sliding bar ().

Once you’ve found an asset you’re interested in, you can click on it to select it, right-click on it to view options for that asset, or double-click on it to view its contents.

Videos will start from exactly where the keywords you selected are first shown. You can navigate videos using the professional playback controls below the video.

You can perform multiple separate searches by clicking the + icon at the bottom left-hand side of the screen. Each new search added in this way will appear in a separate tab at the bottom of the screen.

Click on a tab to switch to that search. The active tab will be highlighted.

The context menu

Throughout Clip Link, you'll also find a handy context menu () . This menu allows you to send assets to various destinations, such as other locations in your organization, archive storage, and create different video formats. The exact options available here will depend on the functionality your organization has chosen.

You’ll see the context menu in various places throughout Clip Link: on individual assets or collections, and also on the toolbar at the top right of the screen. This menu will show you relevant options depending on the asset(s) you have selected. These might include Get link to asset, which allows you to share a selected asset with anyone, or Open with > Curator Logger, which allows you to open the same asset or collections in the logging interface.

Collections

Clip Link allows you to select a number of assets and add them to a collection. Collections are useful for grouping together assets to be used later or shared with other people in your team.

To create a collection:

1. Click on the name of the asset you want to add, or 
2. drag over a group of assets.

A green tick () will appear on each selected asset. You can then choose to add all of the assets you’ve selected to a new or existing collection by clicking on the context menu and selecting either Create collection or Add to collection.

Once you’ve created a collection, you can search for it by name in any Curator application and immediately access any of the assets within it.

Productions

If your Curator license includes the Edit & Publish Functionality Module, you can use Curator alongside video-editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro. This allows you to create productions and manage your editing projects with Curator. You can find out more about the Edit & Publish Functionality Module in our Curator for Adobe Quick Start Guide.

To create a production, select the context menu and choose Create Production. You can then add a name, project type and destination for your production.

Once a production has been created, it will be searchable from within any Curator application.

Add to cart

Carts are a great way of selecting assets when you’re not sure what you want to do with them yet, but don’t want to lose them. Unlike a collection, your assets will remain selected whether you navigate between pages or do new searches.

To add content to your cart:

1. Click- or drag- select the assets you want to save for later, right-click, then select Add to cart. 
2. The Add to cart option will also become available from the toolbar at the top right-hand side of the screen when content is selected.
