It was almost a year ago that we launched the new Search Panel in Premiere. At that time, you could search your clips using Media Intelligence, including visuals, transcript, and metadata. Finding things with AI is cool and useful! However, we also know that every video editor has your own way of tagging and organizing takes and clips. As a result, we have added Marker Search to the Search Panel, making it much faster to find and compile clips that you or your collaborators have already tagged with markers, across your entire project.

How It Works

Open the Search panel
Use the Markers dropdown
Choose one of two ways to search:
- Search by marker text – find words from the marker Name or Comment
- Filter by marker color – click the Filter button to add a Marker Color filter and see only markers of a certain color

What You Can Search

Marker Search looks across your entire project. As with before, you can narrow searches down to Source markers or Sequence markers.

Take Action

You can drag marker results from the Search panel directly into your sequence. Or, right click and choose one of the other common actions.

Note: Single-frame markers will be cut into a sequence with a duration of 5 seconds. You can change this in Preferences > Timeline > Still Image Default Duration.

Outstanding Issues

If your marker has a non-zero start time, it might not work. We are working on this now.

We would love your feedback. In particular:

How do you use Markers in Premiere, and how can we make finding them in the Search panel even better?
What other tagging systems would you like to have incorporated into the Search Panel?

This is very welcome. Please give us a way to manually label / mark ranges with the keyboard without stopping playback. This is a feature I’ve missed ever since Prelude went away, it would be so useful for documentary. I want to be able to watch the day’s shoot with my eyes on the screen and my hands on the keyboard.

I want this for the labelling / filtration of FOOTAGE, not sequences and not even particularly clips - I don’t care when the camera was turned on or off, I just care about what I’ve got to work with.

This is great. Another search-related request:

The scenario: I am using source sequences (almost uniquely the case in a large Production environment in longform editing) - let’s say I have a long edit sequence nearing completion and I am adding B-roll from long source sequences and it’s all about “houses”. (It’s a property programme)

The problem: if I search for “big house” in either text or visual, the results are replicated for the items I’ve already used in my sequence. There is one search result for each item found in source sequences (great) but this is duplicated if it is also in the edit sequence. This results in the search results “doubling up” and giving me twice as many results as there actually are.

The solution: have a tick box in the search dialogue that says “Ignore tagged sequences” or even better “Ignore tagged projects” and tag the edit project. This way the search results from the edit sequence will be ignored.

I was going to suggest putting “ignore open sequences” but the source sequence is likely to be open already and the moment it is opened, the search results would disappear.

Hope this makes sense. Happy to make a little video if it helps.

Hooray! So… will it search and entire Production? 🙏😎

Cheers!
