Want To Print Your Browser Info?

I don't know a single editor who hasn't at one time or another wanted to print out the information in the Browser columns. There's some really valuable info there, but, unfortunately, FCP doesn't have a Print option. But if you have a spreadsheet program, such as Excel, you can copy and paste the Browser information with a few simple steps. You can also import the information into a word document, but you won't see the delineation of the columns as easily. There are several ways to do this. Here are a few options.

1.  In the Browser, select a bin, and choose File > Export > Batch List. Name the batch list and choose your save destination.

2.  Launch the spreadsheet program and open the saved batch list. The column information appears in separate fields in the spreadsheet.

3.  You can also open the batch list inside FCP (using File > Open) and copy and paste the contents into a word doc or spreadsheet.
