Hello everyone,
Does anybody know if there is a way to see an FCPX library keywords in the finder ?
My wish is to be able to quickly find clips through spotlight that have been keyworded in FCPX.
The library being not necesserly open in FCPX of course.

If somebody has an idea how I could do something like that it would be greatly appreciated !

Best,
Julien

The Finder doesn't read the contents of an Event database, and you've found the solution. FCPX can recognize Finder keywords because they're meant to be accessible by any app. But as said, FCPX keywords are meant to be used by FCPX only. But using Finder keywords can be useful ( info here ).
