The objects linked with Pool objects, i.e. media files, devices or screens, etc. can be displayed or highlighted in the timeline. This is a useful feature when media files are to be removed from the Media Pool.
In the Media Pool, right-click the corresponding Pool object and Select timeline objects. Upon doing this all linked objects are highlighted and the Locator jumps to the first of these objects.
By pressing keys Shift + Cursor (right/left) the Locator jumps to the beginning of the next highlighted object. This way you can search for highlighted objects and then edit or remove them, for example.
This function is available for all Pool objects: screens, image fields, text fields, device ports, devices, device folders and any kind of media files. If this function is not available in the context menu, it is not available for this type of Pool object.
Function Select timeline objects may also result in objects being highlighted, which are part of a group. In this case, if you use Remove for the highlighted objects, these objects are removed from the groups.
