User: how do I search for a file within a certain date on finder. there is a way to word the search query yes?
Assistant: Yes, you can search for files by date in Finder on a Mac using specific search queries. Here’s how you can do it:

### Using Finder's Search Bar

1. **Open Finder**: Launch the Finder application.
2. **Navigate to the location**: Go to the folder where you want to search, or stay in "All My Files" if you want to search the entire Mac.
3. **Click on the search bar**: Type in a keyword or leave it blank to see all files.
4. **Refine your search**:
   - After typing in the search term (or nothing), click on the "+" button located just below the search bar.
   - A new filter will appear. You can set the criteria for your search.
5. **Choose Date Modified**:
   - In the first dropdown menu, select "Date Modified" (or "Created" if you want to search by creation date).
   - You will then be given options to specify a date range. You can choose "Today," "Yesterday," "This Week," etc., or select "within last" and specify a duration.
   - For more precise searches, you can also select "is" and enter a specific date.

### Using Search Tags

If you prefer a more advanced search or to use specific queries, you can use the following syntax in the Finder search bar:

- For files modified on a specific date:
  ```
  date:YYYY-MM-DD
  ```
  
- For files modified within a specific range:
  ```
  date:YYYY-MM-DD..YYYY-MM-DD
  ```

Replace `YYYY-MM-DD` with your specific dates. For example, if you’re looking for files modified between January 1, 2023, and January 31, 2023, you would type:
```
date:2023-01-01..2023-01-31
```

### Other Date Options
You can also use “before” or “after” for more precise searches. For example:
- For files modified after January 1, 2023:
  ```
  date:>2023-01-01
  ```
- For files modified before January 1, 2023:
  ```
  date:<2023-01-01
  ```

### Final Notes
Make sure that “This Mac” is selected as your search scope if you want to search your entire computer. Adjust the search parameters according to your needs, and you should be able to find files based on their date effectively!
User: premiere pro, need to round the corners of an image
Assistant: To round the corners of an image in Adobe Premiere Pro, you can use the following steps:

### Method 1: Using the Opacity Mask

1. **Import Your Image**: Drag your image onto the timeline.
2. **Select the Image**: Click on the image clip in the timeline to select it.
3. **Open the Effect Controls Panel**: Go to the `Effect Controls` panel. If you don't see it, you can enable it by going to `Window` > `Effect Controls`.
4. **Add an Opacity Mask**:
   - In the `Effect Controls` panel, find the `Opacity` section.
   - Click the `Pen` tool (or the `Ellipse` tool for a circular mask).
   - Draw a shape around the area you want to keep (this can be a rectangle with rounded corners if using the Pen tool, or an ellipse).
5. **Adjust the Mask**:
   - If you used the Pen tool, you can adjust the points of the mask to create rounded corners by dragging the handles of the mask points.
   - For the `Ellipse` tool, you can resize it in the `Effect Controls` panel to fit the image.
6. **Refine the Mask**:
   - Adjust the `Mask Feather` settings to soften the edges of the mask if necessary. This will help blend the corners smoothly.
7. **Position and Scale**: Make any necessary adjustments to the image's position and scale, ensuring it fits well within the rounded mask.

### Method 2: Using a Crop Effect

1. **Import Your Image**: Start with your image on the timeline.
2. **Select the Image**: Click to select the image layer.
3. **Go to the Effects Panel**: Navigate to the `Effects` panel. If you don’t see it, go to `Window` > `Effects`.
4. **Search for Crop Effect**: In the Effects panel, search for "Crop" and drag the `Crop` effect onto your image.
5. **Open Effect Controls**: With your image selected, go back to the `Effect Controls` panel.
6. **Adjust the Crop**:
   - Under the `Crop` effect, you will see options for ‘Left,’ ‘Right,’ ‘Top,’ and ‘Bottom.’ Adjust these parameters to create rounded corners.
   - This method typically won't create smooth rounded corners but may give a cropped effect which you can soften using mask settings.
7. **Add a Background (optional)**: If you want to see the rounded corners clearly, you may want to place a solid color layer or another video clip behind your image.

### Additional Tip:
If you need perfect rounded corners, consider creating a mask in Adobe Photoshop or another graphic design tool and then import the masked image back into Premiere Pro.

Following these steps, you should be able to achieve rounded corners on your images in Premiere Pro effectively!
