Override for persistant search queries when matching back to media from timeline
This is less a feature than what I perceive to be a bug fix, or at the very least a potential toggle in settings.
In short, many editors such as myself frequently match media from timeline to the Project Panel, using the “reveal in project” shortcut or menu item. Currently if I had a previous search query in the Project Panel and had not cleared it, Premiere will jump to Project Panel window but won’t ovveride that previous search query, effectively nullifying the desired operation: getting to that clip in the project panel, so as to, “make sequence from clip” for example. This could easily be remedied without replacement by including a toggle in settings such as “Reveal in project overrides existing search” or something along those lines. There should be no friction between a confirmed action from keystroke or menu and its result — as it stands searches are given pride of place when there is no reason for them not to be de-prioritized when inputting a “reveal in project” command.
So, a simple issue with a simple fix, but cumulatively tons of time lost in the long run but having clear the search bar and perform the action again. Feel free to reach out to me if I can clarifying anything about this!
