Tags
Tags are labels you attach to clips for categorisation. A clip can have any number of tags, and a tag can be applied to any number of clips.
Creating Tags
There are several ways to create a tag:
- From the library — select one or more clips, press
T, type a name, and press Enter - On import — type into the tag input before starting an import
- From the tag autocomplete — if your search doesn't match an existing tag, a "Create new" option appears
Tag names are case-insensitive and must be unique.
Renaming and Deleting
Manage tags from the Tags page or the tag management UI:
- Rename — updates the tag everywhere it's used
- Delete — removes the tag from all clips
Tag Colors
Each tag can have an explicit color. Available colors: blue, green, yellow, red, purple, pink, orange, and teal.
Set a color on any tag to make it visually distinct in the library grid, filter sidebar, and detail modal.
Prefix Color System
Tags that use a colon-delimited naming convention (e.g. scene:interview, location:beach) benefit from the prefix color system.
Instead of coloring each tag individually, you can assign a color to a prefix (the part before the colon). All tags sharing that prefix inherit the color automatically.
Priority order for color resolution:
- Explicit tag color (set directly on the tag) — highest priority
- Prefix color (inherited from the prefix)
- Default theme color
Example:
| Tag | Prefix Color | Explicit Color | Displayed Color |
|---|---|---|---|
scene:interview | blue (from scene:) | — | blue |
scene:broll | blue (from scene:) | — | blue |
scene:hero | blue (from scene:) | red | red (explicit wins) |
Batch Tagging
Select multiple clips in the library grid (⌘A for all, or ⌘-click / Shift-click) then press T to open the tag input. Any tag you apply is added to all selected clips at once.
You can also batch-tag during import — see Importing.
Tag Counts
In the filter sidebar and Tags page, each tag shows a count of how many clips it's applied to. This helps you identify your most-used categories at a glance.
Tags in Filters
Tags are one of the primary filter dimensions. You can:
- Include tags — show only clips that have the selected tags (AND logic: all selected tags must be present)
- Exclude tags — hide clips that have certain tags
See Search & Filters for the full filtering guide.
