I don’t understand your question. What exactly are you searching for?

I’m wondering if there’s a feature in AE that allows you to locate specific word markers in the audio layer, similar to the “find and replace” feature in Flash.

This description of “Find and Replace is from Adobe’s site:

About Find and Replace
The Find and Replace feature lets you do the following:

■Search for a text string, a font, a color, a symbol, a sound file, a video file, or an imported bitmap file.

> specific word markers in the audio layer

I still don’t know what you’re referring to. Your terminology (“word markers”) is possibly what’s throwing me.

Are you referring to layer markers in After Effects that have been automatically created from XMP metadata generated by running the speech-to-text conversion in Premiere Pro, as in this example?

Yes. I’m talking about the layer markers that appear as words in the audio layer. After reviewing your link, I think for my purposes Ockham’s Razor applies – simply scrubbing through the timeline until I find the words I’m looking for. Thank you though – I appreciate your help.
