Help is needed. I have an image (a frame from a video, png), I need to find the scene in the video where the image from the picture is located. Tell me how to do it.

If there's no timecode or filename or other identifying data you'll have to do it manually.  Load the still into your source monitor, then scroll through your timeline and compare more granularly when you find similar looking scenes.

GPT chat suggested this to me, but I did not find this functionality:
Import image and video files into the project.
Drag the video file to the timeline.
Double click on the video masonry in the timeline to open the settings window for the clip.
Enable the Find Frame option in the Temporal Settings section.
Press the "Select" button to select the image where you want to find the scene.
Select the search mode: On Exact Frame or Closest Match.
Click the Find button to start searching.
When the program finds a match, it will highlight it in the timeline.
You can drag the resulting frame from the viewport to the timeline to add it to the project.

DO NOT USE GPT CHAT: TOTALLY WRONG.

 

Have to do this manually as said above.
