Smart folders filter the Media tab by rules instead of browsing folders. You get built-in smart folders and can create your own with custom names and conditions. For the list of built-in smart folders and available filter fields, see the Smart folders reference.

​
Creating a custom smart folder

1

Open Smart folders

In the Media panel, open the Smart folders section in the left sidebar.
2

Add a new smart folder

Click the + (plus) button next to “Smart folders”.
3

Configure the smart folder

In the dialog:
  • Enter a Folder name (e.g. “My video clips”, “Unanalyzed MP4s”).
  • Choose Match: All conditions (AND) or Any condition (OR).
  • Add one or more Conditions. See Filter fields and operators for available fields and operators.
Example:
  • Is visually analyzed: yes
  • File extension is “mp4”
  • Duration is greater than 10 seconds
4

Preview and save

The Preview line will show how many files match your conditions. Click Create to save. The new smart folder appears in the list; select it to filter the table.
Custom smart folders are stored per user and persist across sessions. The main search box still applies on top of the smart folder filter.

​
Editing a custom smart folder

1

Open the edit dialog

Hover over the custom smart folder in the list and click the pencil () icon.
2

Apply changes

Change the name, match rule (AND/OR), or conditions as needed. Click Save.
Built-in smart folders do not show edit or delete; only custom ones can be edited or removed.
