Searchable camera-motion detection in Media Intelligence - Analyse camera motion during media indexing, store it as searchable metadata, and make that metadata available to Media Intelligence searches.

I'd like Premiere Pro to automatically analyse and index camera movement in source footage, making it searchable alongside the existing Media Intelligence results.

For example, Premiere could identify:

• Static

• Pan left / pan right

• Tilt up / tilt down

• Push in / pull out

• Zoom in / zoom out

• Track/truck left / right

• Roll

• Handheld / unstable movement

Ideally, the analysis would also retain useful properties such as direction, speed, magnitude and duration.

This could then be combined with Media Intelligence queries, allowing searches such as:

"Cars, slow pan right"

"Static wide shots of buildings"

"People, push in, longer than 5 seconds"

"All left pans"

The semantic part of the search could come from Media Intelligence, while camera movement could be determined using conventional motion analysis.

Premiere already performs sophisticated motion analysis for features such as stabilization and tracking, so much of the underlying technology appears to exist. Optical flow/global motion analysis can determine dominant frame movement and classify pans, tilts, zooms and rotation without relying on a generative AI model to guess the movement.

Importantly, this should analyse source footage in the Project panel, rather than requiring clips to be placed on a timeline first. It would effectively provide automatic cinematographic logging of rushes.

For editors working with large libraries, camera movement is a fundamental characteristic when selecting a shot. Being able to search by subject + shot type + camera movement + duration would make Media Intelligence considerably more useful as an editorial tool.

The key request is therefore:

Analyse camera motion during media indexing, store it as searchable metadata, and make that metadata available to Media Intelligence searches.
