Finding a Video in an Existing Catalog

Finding the videos you are looking for should be easy; it is one of the strong points in Fast Video Cataloger. You get an excellent visual overview in the Video Catalog window by viewing in Icon mode in conjunction with the Video Scenes window. You can visually browse through your video catalog very fast.

You can easily filter your video catalog on keywords, actors, genre, rating, filenames, title, description, file path, or archived media. The video list is sorted by clicking the headings in the Video Catalog window.

Finding specific scenes in one or more videos from your entire video catalog is achieved using the Scene search tab in the Search window. Your recent search history is available as quick links to speed up your work.
