**Fast Collections** is a **Final Cut Pro Workflow Extension** that allows you to quickly create a Smart Collection from a list of Keywords.

When you're working on massive long-form projects, such as documentaries with lots of footage and keywords, the Final Cut Pro interface can grind to a halt when using the Smart Collection panel.

If you have **thousands of keywords** across many events, it can take many minutes to create a new Smart Collection with your preferred keywords directly within Final Cut Pro - but with **Fast Collections**, it can now take seconds.

You can manually write a list of keywords, or use the **Paste** button to paste them from another application.

Alternatively, you can also drag a **Final Cut Pro Event** from the Final Cut Pro Browser to the **Keywords Editor** text box, and all the keywords in that event will be populated.
Alternatively, you can also drag a **Final Cut Pro Library** or **Event** from the **Final Cut Pro Browser** to the **Keywords Editor** text box, and all the keywords in that library or event will be populated.

Each line in the **Keyword Editor** will automatically create a new keyword item in the **Enabled Keywords** list.

You can then untick any keywords you don't want to store in the new Smart Collection.

Type the name of your new Smart Collection, then press the **Generate Smart Collection** button.
You can use the **Filter** text box to filter the list of checkboxes, and the **Select All** and **Deselect All** buttons to quickly help you refine your selections.

Once done, you can drag the blue icon at the bottom into your Final Cut Pro Event.
Once you're happy with your selections, type the name of your new Smart Collection, then press the **Generate Smart Collection** button.

If you make changes to the **Enabled Keywords** or the **Smart Collection Name** you will need to press the **Generate Smart Collection** button again.

You can also use the **Load Preset** and **Save Preset** buttons to save your list of Keywords, for times when you're using recurring keywords.

It's a very simple Workflow Extension, but can save a lot of time when working on really big libraries with lots of keywords.
