Question

Find project by the name of the video file used in it

 

So, I have a project somewhere on my Mac, and I can't remember either the project's name or the location. I only know the name of the video file used in this project. How can I search 600+ of my .prproj files to find which contains that media file? Thanx

With my (paid) extension Automation Blocks for Premiere Pro you could write a custom automation, which loops over your 600 projects, opens them one by one and looks at all project items contained in them. If a project item has the desired media path, the script could alert the current project.

There is no way to do that.

You can do a search for all your projects to open, and might trigger you remembering the name.

600+ is rather a lot.
