Indexing or labeling clips so that they are searchable in the future

[authentic_magic16B8]

Hi there, I am hoping someone can help me please.  I have a large bank or b-roll and I was hoping that there is a way to index/ tag/ label the footage so that down the track, I can search the index/ tag/ label.  For example -  My b-roll footage has a computer, a red haired woman, a sunset, etc etc.  I tag all those 'somewhere' and then when I am asked to pull b-roll of computers, I can search the index and know which of my b-roll contains these items in it.

Can anyone help me with this please...?

Thanks in advance,

Jade

You need to look at Digital Asset Management software, like Kyno:

Actually, Adobe Premiere Pro can help you track your clips' metadata using search bins inside your project:

Performing searches from Premiere Pro CC 2018 Essential Training: The Basics by Ashley Kennedy

Additionally, Adobe has a file management tool that comes with Creative Cloud: Adobe Bridge CC. Take a look at a few resources:

Adding metadata to images from Adobe Bridge CC: Tips, Tricks, and Techniques by Richard Harrington

(*this applies to all kinds of files, including video, not just images.)

Learn about Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) standard and working with metadata in Adobe Bridge

If you're on a Mac computer, you can use your Photos organizer to also manage metadata:

• Use the Keyword Manager
• Search for images based on their metadata

Hope this helps!
