  • Shortcut to looking for sequences in the project panel.

    Posted by Trevor Gauthier on March 21, 2016 at 5:17 pm

    I lost a sequence in a rather large project that has multiple timelines and a large amount of file types. Now my project is organized but I cannot find the sequence I am looking for.

    Is there a way in premiere to show only the sequences, similar to in photoshop you can show just a certain type of layer. I could swear I have done this before in premiere but I could be wrong. Maybe I am crazy. I can look the slow way by opening every bin but I am curious to know if there is a faster way.

    My fear is that I may have accidentally deleted the sequence and didn’t notice because you don’t need to confirm that you want it deleted. I know I have done this in the past where I selected an effect and placed it onto the timeline and gone back to the effect presets and found that I renamed my effect with a bunch of random letters and symbols.

    Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

    Type sequence in the project panel search box.

    Word to the wise…remember what you called the file before you go looking for it.

    I did find a solution to my own question. So I figured I would post a reply for those who may have the same inquiry.

    If you happen to know the correct file name for a folder or sequence or file and only want to show those files click on the folder with the magnifying glass.

    It then creates a search folder with just things with that file name. It would have worked for me had I realized my file was called “feb” not march….MONDAYS!

    My other piece of advice is AUTOSAVE IS YOUR FRIEND. I realized my mistake by opening past autosaved projects until I reached a save where I still had the project in question open and realized my error. Lucky for me it was recent timeline I was working on.

    Thanks. That works even better!
