Tag your library
Tags cut across folders: label a clip by client, status, or location once, then pull every match across every project in two clicks.
Folders answer "where does this live." Tags answer "what is this," and one asset can be many things at once: a drone shot, approved, client X. Tags are how you pull every match across every project without reorganizing anything.
Tag an asset
Open the asset and click Tags. The tab shows the asset's current tags as chips, a search box, and the whole workspace tag tree underneath: every category with its tags nested inside, each with a count of how many assets carry it. Click a tag to apply it, click it again to remove it, and a small confirmation appears for every change so nothing happens silently. Typing in the search box narrows the tree as you type, and pressing Enter applies the match. Searching first is what keeps "Approved" one tag instead of four spellings.
The tag tree: every category with its tags nested underneath, counts included, one click to apply.
Create a new tag
If what you typed does not exist yet, press Enter or click + New tag and the create dialog opens with your text already filled in. Pick a category (or make a new one right there), then choose Create and apply to tag the open asset, or Create only to add it to your tag list without tagging anything. Create only is how you build a taxonomy up front: lay out your genres, statuses, and clients in one sitting, and every tag waits in the tree until its first use.
Your tag list is its own thing
Tags live at the workspace level, not on any one asset. A tag you created stays in the tree even when nothing carries it yet, and deleting assets never thins out your tag list. To remove a tag from the taxonomy, click the x beside it in the tree: unused tags delete immediately, and a tag that is still applied somewhere asks first, telling you how many assets it will be removed from.
Group tags into categories
Categories ("Client", "Status", "Location") keep a growing tag set browsable. Create one from the category picker inside the New tag dialog, and every tag you file under it shows up nested beneath it in the tree.
Bulk tagging
Select assets in any project or folder view and click Tag in the selection bar. The same tag tree opens, and every tag you click lands on the whole selection at once, with the dialog staying open so you can stack several. Tag the day's selects "Approved" in one action instead of thirty.
Where tags pay off
The Asset View filters your entire workspace by tag, with multiple tags narrowing the result. Tags also match in search. A light habit (client, status, maybe location) is enough for both to feel instant.
Questions
What is a tag category for?
Grouping. "Client", "Status", and "Location" as categories keep fifty tags browsable as a short tree instead of one long alphabetical pile. The tag tree shows every category with its tags nested underneath.
Can I tag many assets at once?
Yes. Select assets in a project, click Tag in the selection bar, and every tag you click in the tree lands on the whole selection.
Can a tag exist before anything is tagged with it?
Yes. Your tag list is its own thing: build the full set up front with Create only, and each tag waits in the tree with a zero count until its first use. Deleting an asset never deletes your tags.
