Scene Edit Detection Not Working

Hey everyone, I'm running the latest version of premiere on both a mid-level gaming PC and my Macbook Pro. On both systems the scene edit detection does not work. It goes through the analyzing process and then nothing - no cuts, edits, etc.

 

I have also tried encoding the video as a different file format - didnt work - same thing happens where it analyzes and then no cuts, edits, nothing.

 

I ahve also tried an earlier version of Premier - didnt work - same thing happens where it analyzes and then no cuts, edits, nothing.

 

Someone please help. I have an 1-2 hour long video to edit and the scene edit detection would be a game changer for me if it worked. Thanks.

    For some reason, it doesn't work for me on rare occasions, especially when I delete the audio of the clip or when the frame rate of the clip doesn't match the sequence's fps, I can't remember the cases really but I always managed to make it work.

    Try to drag the clip again to the timeline, or create a new sequence from the clip, then do the scene edit detection and see if it works for you.

    Thank you!

    Had the same issue but I tried to keep the audio and the scene detection worked like a charm !

    Had this same issue today. Just would not work. I rebooted Premiere and it worked right away.

    Open the video in the source tab then drag only the video without music onto the timeline and then click on Scene Edit Detection, once done then you can bring in your audio

          I just updated Premiere to 2023, and it stopped working. I'm on an IMAC and MAC mini and neither of them can do anything AI related anymore. It's really annoying, and there doesn't seem to be any solutions anywhere. I even tried it on the newest Beta and it doesn't work there either (on either device).
