Is there any way to assign keywords to a number of scenes at once? That is, I’d like to assign a keyword for about twenty scenes, and I don’t want to have to do it individually.

I found that I can drag and drop keywords to scenes, pretty easily (from the Project/Show Keywords window). Perhaps that will be enough

Thanks.

The Project Keywords panel is the key. You can drag any number of selected keywords to any number of selected items to perform a bulk assignment. You can also right-click on keywords in the panel to batch assign/remove the keyword to/from the background selection in the project window.

See also, §10.4.2, Using Keywords, pg. 247.

Ah, yes. That works perfectly. Thanks.
