Filter Bin Content bug

  • February 25, 2017

For as long as I can remember, Premiere has always returned irrelevant results when I enter a search term into the 'Filter Bin Content' field.

I then have to browse through multiple clips to find the one I want.

See the example below.

Can anyone think of a valid reason why I would get multiple results, when clearly only one of them contains the text that I entered?

Insights appreciated.

Cheers.

Gary

    Hi all.

    When seeking multiple search results (rather than one specific file)

    I would solve this problem by creating a new Search Bin (File > New > Search Bin)

    Specify Filename: 1092

    This will populate the Search Bin with all files in the project which match that

    Having a similar issue.  I spent many hours labeling footage in the "description" column.  Now, even when staring right a clip labeled "INSERT, water," Premiere doesn't pull up anything when I hit command+F, and search for "water," in the description column.  I'm not impressed with this software.  It's caused me nothing but problems.

      Thanks Jim.

      You prompted me to look further and there it is, in the audio timecode values, which show samples rather than frames.

      It would be good if the filter could ignore audio samples, as I doubt anyone would be searching for those.

      Cheers.

        The day after Adobe changes the software, someone will come here asking why PP isn't finding their files.
