Why we like it

Video Search earns its place in the Adobe Exchange library for keeping semantic search local — indexing runs on your machine rather than through a cloud service.

What is Video Search?

Video Search adds semantic search to Premiere Pro, indexing your entire media library locally. Instead of tagging or organizing footage by hand, you describe what you're looking for in natural language and locate the matching clip.

Queries work the way you might phrase them out loud — "sunset by the beach," "person walking through a crowd," or "aerial city view at night." The plugin handles indexing automatically, so there's no manual cataloging step. The idea is to let you navigate hours of footage by searching how you think.

Everything runs on your machine rather than a cloud service, so there are no uploads to wait through and your content stays on your own system. Version 1.1.0 makes index creation about five times faster and adds UI polish. The plugin is compatible with Premiere Pro 23.0 and later.

Who is Video Search best for?

Video Search is best for premiere Pro editors who want to find clips across large footage libraries by describing them, without manual tagging or cloud uploads.

How much does Video Search cost?

Video Search is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Video Search work with Premiere Pro 23.0?

Video Search is compatible with Premiere Pro 23.0 and later, so any release from that version onward should be able to run it. If you're on an older build of Premiere Pro, you'd need to update before installing. The plugin adds semantic search inside Premiere Pro, letting you index your media library and find clips by describing them in natural language. For the exact supported releases and any newer requirements, the developer's page on Adobe Exchange is the place to confirm current details before you install.

Does Video Search upload my footage to the cloud?

Video Search runs entirely on your machine, so it doesn't rely on a cloud service to search your footage. It indexes your media library locally, which means there are no uploads to wait through and your content stays on your own system. This is the main difference from cloud-based approaches that require footage to be sent elsewhere first. Once the library is indexed, you describe what you're looking for in natural language and the plugin locates matching clips locally.

Is Video Search free to use?

Video Search is listed as free in this catalog, so you can add it to Premiere Pro without a purchase here. Licensing terms can change over time, though, so it's worth checking the developer's page on Adobe Exchange for the current details before you rely on it. That page is also the best source for the latest version, compatibility notes, and any conditions attached to how the plugin is distributed.

What's new in Video Search 1.1.0?

Video Search 1.1.0 focuses on two changes. Index creation is now about five times faster, so building the searchable index of your media library takes less time than before. The update also includes UI polish. It was released on 2025-02-14 and works with Premiere Pro 23.0 and later. For the full history of changes and any updates beyond this version, check the developer's page on Adobe Exchange.
