Home → Tagging

To tag a movie, select it in Clipstart and press the "t" key. Type tags separate with a comma, such as "trip, family, new york". Spaces are allowed in tag names. Press the return key to finish tagging, or press the tab key to cycle to the next movie to tag.

Here are a few keyboard shortcuts to help you get the most out of tagging:

T - Edit tags or add tags.

⌘⇧C - Copy tags.

⌘⇧V - Paste tags.

⌘⇧⌫ - Clear tags.

The copy, paste, and clear commands are especially useful for stamping tags across multiple selected movies.

There are two additional ways to add tags that are convenient when tagging multiple videos:

Drag and drop. Select one or more videos and drag them to an existing tag to have that tag applied to those videos. The tag destination will be added to any existing tags on those videos.

Edit multiple tags. Use the "t" key when more than one video is selected to get a special window for adding tags. Just enter the comma-separated tags, using the scape key to auto-complete, and click the "Add Tags" button to add those tags to the selected videos. Use the close box to cancel.
