Why we like it

Keyword Marker earns its place in the adobe_exchange library by making transcript search results stick: instead of a search that disappears when you clear the bar, you get frame-accurate markers that stay on the timeline or attach to clips through to final export.

What is Keyword Marker?

Keyword Marker is a Premiere Pro plugin from EditingTools.io that converts transcript searches into permanent visual markers on your timeline. Where a standard search clears the moment you empty the search bar, the markers Keyword Marker places stay visible, so you can jump between moments without typing the same word again.

The workflow runs in three steps: transcribe your footage and export an SRT file, import that SRT and type your keywords, then batch-add markers across the sequence. You can place markers on the main timeline or directly on clips so they travel with the media, preview every keyword instance with timecodes before committing, and use color-coded markers to navigate sections. Sequence and SRT validation keeps markers frame-accurate, proximity warnings stop them overlapping, and you can add hundreds at once or clear them all to reset.

Save your most-used search terms for recurring projects. Version 2.6.1 adds a fix for Premiere Pro 26.3 support, and the plugin is compatible with Premiere Pro 22.0 and later.

Who is Keyword Marker best for?

Keyword Marker is best for editors sifting through long interviews, multi-take shoots, or feature-length documentaries who need to find and revisit specific quotes, names, or topics in hours of raw footage.

How much does Keyword Marker cost?

Keyword Marker is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Keyword Marker support Premiere Pro 26.3?

Keyword Marker is compatible with Premiere Pro 22.0 and later, so it covers a wide range of recent releases. Version 2.6.1 specifically adds a fix for Premiere Pro 26.3 support, meaning the plugin has been updated to work on that release. If you are on an earlier version at or above 22.0, it is listed as compatible. For current compatibility details and any version-specific notes, check the developer's page at EditingTools.io.

How do I add markers with Keyword Marker?

Keyword Marker uses a three-step process. First, transcribe your footage and export an SRT file. Second, import that SRT into Keyword Marker and type the keywords you want to find. Third, batch-add the markers to your timeline, placing hundreds at once if needed. You can put markers on the main sequence or directly on clips so they travel with the media, and preview every keyword instance with timecodes before committing so they land where you expect.

Will Keyword Marker's markers stay in place when I move clips?

Keyword Marker can place markers directly on clips rather than only on the main timeline, so they travel with the media and stay attached even when you move a clip. This is useful for multi-camera workflows where clips shift around. Sequence and SRT validation keeps the markers frame-accurate, and proximity warnings prevent them from overlapping so the timeline stays readable. If you need to start over, you can clear all markers at once to reset the workspace.

Is Keyword Marker free?

Keyword Marker is listed as free in this catalog. Because licensing terms can change over time, the most reliable place to confirm current pricing and any usage conditions is the developer's page at EditingTools.io. There you can also send a support message for feedback or help with the plugin. The listing here reflects free availability, but always verify against the developer's own information before relying on it for a project.
