Thank you all so much for the valuable advice. I’m at an odd (although, I assume not too uncommon..) beginning point in my career where I’m not sure exactly what the one or two things I enjoy doing most are—but hopefully as my career progresses I can figure that out. I don’t want to end up in a position where I am a generalist who is just mediocre in many things… so I greatly appreciate all the advice given, such as continuing to learn things that are not immediately applicable to what I do (but might one day be), or finding the two or three things I really want to excel at and pursuing those.

Thanks again, everyone! Hooray for the Cow!

I’ve given this a shot, and this works for basic searching. The main limitations of this workflow (if anyone is interested) is the limited search parameters. There is no way to search for multiple parameters (for example, typing in both the speaker’s name and the camera angle). But for now, this definitely will work. I hope that with the emphasis Adobe has had behind the scenes of developing XMP metadata (particularly with Prelude) there will be a good organizational use of this in the future. A Lightroom-type solution, or an enhanced Bridge would be killer. Or even just a very powerful index and searching capability within Premiere Pro.

Thanks for your reply. I’ll look into that… sort of using Prelude as a logging and organizing system.

With Adobe’s XMP stuff, it seems like it’s a ripe time for them to make an organization solution (like Lightroom or Bridge) for video, or just enhance Bridge for this purpose.
