  • Searching within a large Premiere project?

    Posted by Ian Anderson on September 23, 2024 at 6:47 pm

    Hello! I have a massive project built for a music documentary where there are many sequences with entire concerts, and many songs within those sequences. I have every song labeled with a title but now I need to make the entire project searchable. My first thought was to create a marker for every song and search the markers but it seems to only search one sequence at a time (?) I then thought I could search using metadata but I can only seem to be able to label the larger clip once and not multiple times throughout the timeline as the songs begin. I hope this makes sense! Any help would be massively appreciated.

    Hey Ian,

    Sounds like it is going to be painful, no matter what you do, sorry.

    Have you investigated using the Adobe Meta-data function?
    https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/premiere-pro/using/metadata.html

    If in a rush, there are also PPro specific storage solutions that will use A.I. to analyse your footage.

    SNS share-browser as an example should run inside Premiere Pro, except you will need their storage to use it:

    I am involved with NOVA, but that is an external platform with no PPro integration:
    https://wearenova.ai/video-content-analyzer
    My affiliate link should give you a test run + access to the team:
    https://app.wearenova.ai/signup?ref=madsnybojorgensen2

    In short, there is no easy solution.

    Having said that, it just might do it, if you run Adobe transcription on all of your rushes.
    Maybe then search on the song text – haven’t tried it myslef, but you don’t know what you know, until you have done it.
    (Assuming that all your tracks are English language!?)

    Hope that this helps?

    Thanks so much for your response Mads!

    You’ve confirmed my feeling on this, it’s not going to be easy. I keep reading about and playing with the Metadata but it seems to be a feature where you can only label an entire clip with several descriptions but not several descriptions within a clip, based on timecode. Probably thinking about this all wrong but thanks again!
