Searching Timeline By Clip Name

Is there a way to search for clips on a multitrack session timeline by the name of the clips?

 

I had to give names (numbers, really) to every line in some scripts, and it would be able to find them a lot easier if I could search for them by name, rather than scrolling back and forth through a 40-minute timeline for each number. Thanks!

How is this still not a feature???? Is there even a place to submit actual feedback/request or does adobe just loops you back to forum??

How is it not a feature? That's quite easy to answer. It's not a feature because the big-ticket users don't have it in their lists of features they'd like, and they are the ones that get listened to. Makes sense in a way, because they are the ones paying the salary bills. It certainly used to be the case that lists of feature requests were put to them, and they included ones that were made here (see the Ideas forum) but from the really small number of innovations there have been, I'm now beginning to wonder what's actually happening - if anything...

 

But in the same breath I should point out that the Audition developers are also now responsible for all of Adobe's audio developments across multiple products, and I suspect that this is leaving them a bit thinly spread. Unfortunately it is also the case that trying to get straightforward answers to any of these questions is now not easy.

Not that I'm aware of, no, although it would be a useful thing to be able to do on occasions - as you've discovered...

Did this ever become a feature in Audition? The question was asked 5 years ago, but I'm suffering from this same problem myself right now. I've got a huge project with 50+ tracks and I'm struggling to find a clip. Would be so much simpler to use a "reveal clip" feature.

No change, I'm afraid.
