Creating Searchable Metadata for Sequences in Premiere Pro

[Joseph W. bourke]

I’m not sure whether this info will help you out, but it appears that you can have file-based Metadata:

This won’t get you sequence-based Metadata, but it might be a step in the right direction. Adobe Bridge will also give you access to a wealth of metadata information, some of it “under the hood” stuff. But it looks as if the Metadata breaks down into “file”, “clip”, and “project”. Here’s the word from Adobe:

My workaround is a Perl script I wrote that parses the FCP exported XML file, and returns a plain text list of all sequences in a PPro project. It requires that Perl be installed and a person is comfortable with shell commands. And also willing to do things outside of PPro. It would be great if Adobe would add some more basic things people have been asking for years.

I also need this feature. Perhaps it’s in the latest version, but I don’t want to update in the middle of my project.

I am also editing a feature-length doc with lots of material, and getting information out of PPro is clunkly. I cannot seem to find a way to right-click someplace and get “Show in Finder” the current project. Yes, I can navigate to it, but with many folders, it’s a hassle.
