Managing assets

4 Type the term for which you want to search.

The Project panel shows only assets that match the search criteria. The magnifying glass menu suggests search terms. The suggestions include any misspellings present in clip metadata. This feature allows you to find errors and correct them.

The menu updates dynamically as you type each new letter.

When you open a bin while a search term is in the Find box, Premiere Pro copies this search term into the new Find box. The filtering persists for the opened bin.

6Click the Close icon to end the search and show all assets.

Finding clips with Face Detection

You can find clips containing faces if you first use Face Detection to identify them.

Identify clips containing faces

Identify clips that contain faces, so that you can later filter the Project panel for clips containing faces.

Note: Content analysis works on all supported media types, including still images. In Premiere Pro CS5.5 and later, face detection is enabled for merged clips if at least one of the component clips contains video.

1To select one or more clips for face detection, do one of the following:

•Select a clip in the Project panel. Choose Clip > Analyze Content.

•In the Project panel, right-click a selected clip and choose Analyze Content. The Analyze Content dialog box appears.
