Find clips in a sequence

Last updated on Apr 1, 2026

Learn how to find clip usage across sequences in your project and view each instance’s timecode in Adobe Premiere.

Identify where and how often a clip appears in your project. This helps prevent duplicate use and ensure consistency.

Select Window > Projects and select your project.

Select the clip you want to check in the Project panel.

Select the timecode icon at the lower-right corner of the clip thumbnail.

A prompt displays the timecode location for the clip in all sequences where it's used.

View all sequence locations and timecodes where a clip is used.

Select a timecode in the pop-up.

The playhead in the Timeline panel jumps to that clip's location in the sequence.

Find the number of times a clip has been used:

Right-click the menu icon in the Project panel.
Select Metadata Display.
Select Video Duration from the Premiere Pro Project Metadata dropdown to add it as a column.

Select OK.

A list appears showing the clip name and timecodes for each instance, confirming the clip’s locations across sequences.

Tip

Right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (macOS) a clip in the Timeline panel and select Reveal In Project to quickly locate the original source clip in the Project panel.
