What It Does
Selector for Premiere Pro is a panel that lets you find and select clips or project items based on specific criteria, without manually hunting through timelines or project panels. You define filter conditions, run the selection, and Premiere highlights exactly what you’re looking for.
It works in two modes: Items mode targets clips in the project panel (and any open bin panels), while Clips mode targets clips inside sequences. Both modes support the same filter-based approach.
Key Features
45+ filter criteria. You can filter by name, file extension, clip duration, track location, effects applied, speed changes, proxy status, whether a clip is used in a sequence, multicam or merged clip status, mogrt type, and much more. Filters stack, so you can narrow a selection precisely.
Preset system. Save any filter combination as a named preset and load it with a single click. There are both static presets (which remember a specific set of clips) and live presets (which rerun the filters each time). A quick-access bar puts your most-used presets within reach.
Bin panel support. Selections extend across the main project panel and any additional bin panels you have open, so nothing gets missed in complex project structures.
Navigation controls. An optional step-through bar lets you cycle through selected clips one at a time, useful for reviewing specific items after a selection is made. You can disable this in preferences to speed up selection on large sequences.
Shift-click to expand. Hold Shift while running a selection to add results to your current selection rather than replacing it, handy for building up complex multi-criteria selections in steps.
Who It’s For
Editor working on long-form projects with hundreds of clips will get the most out of this. Common use cases include selecting all offline clips at once, grabbing every clip with a speed change before export, isolating clips without proxies, or pulling all clips from a specific track or bin for batch operations. It’s also practical on smaller projects whenever you find yourself manually clicking through timelines to find specific clip types.
