Clips used more than once within project

[cjacs987654]

Hi

is there a way for premiere to let me know if I have used a clip more than once within a project.

I know I can do this within a timeline, and duplicated use of a clip shows with a different colour underline  but I have a project with a number of timelines, and the clip could be used across them.

Thank you

In the Project Panel, show the Video Usage Column it will show you the number of uses:

Click on the number and it will show you the location of those uses:

Hi

Thank you for your reply. In my project panel I cant see the video usage column. If I click on the columns, can see 'metadata display' with loads of options. I assume I need to switch on the column, but cannot find which property it is ????

I can see the preview area, so that is useful, but if I can see a list as above that will be much better to manage

Hi Chris,

Right click on the Project panel option icon and select Metadata Display.

In the search bar type-in video and put a checkmark on the Video Usage option.

Thanks,
