Finding/selecting clips by clip name on the timeline
Hi,
I’ve been searching and am unable to find info on this, so if anyone knows how I would greatly appreciate telling me! Is there a way to find and select en-masse all clips on a timeline by name? For example, here’s my issue: I want to be able to select the clips from my multicam edit that are all from one specific camera so that I can then mass-apply an effect to them, without affecting the other cams/clips in the timeline. I am also an FCP user, and I know the Find command can be used to do this in FCP, but I can’t seem to find the equivalent in Premiere. Anybody know how to do this? Thanks in advance!

See if this solution still applies in CS5.5.

Little klunky I know….
and not a way to multi select…
but should let you navigate quickly for pasting of attributes…

The problem with this is that the multicam clips created in the timeline are not individually represented in the bins or the project pane – so there is no finding them in the project pane or bins.
I’m beginning to think there isn’t a way to do this, and it’s horrible because I have a LOT of cuts over an hour’s worth of time and trying to go and select one camera out of four all along the timeline is tedious and time-consuming. No timeline search is really a bad oversight… ugh.

Bill help yourself and other folks that will bump into this nasty situation by putting in a feature request here. Adobe is listening very intently these days .

Will do, Tom, and thanks for suggesting!!

Bill….
is this something that needs to be applied per individual event? Or is it something like Color correction where if you applied it to the nested source element, it would just propagate up to multi-cam cut sequence?

It’s really a combination of both techniques because a one-light won’t fix everything, but I never thought of actually color correcting the source clip in the nested multicam sequence – thanks for reminding me that I can do that! That might be an issue with individual clips on the timeline that I need to further adjust tho, which could be an effect applied to an already effected clip, which is probably not the best approach.

Sophisticated timeline searching is a useful feature that really needs to be added. As with all software development the more people requesting features, the more likely that they’ll be implemented. So don’t hesitate to ask.
