Search every clip you've analyzed and import the exact moment into a bin — without leaving the timeline. Five-minute install, works on macOS and Windows, Premiere Pro 2022 or newer.
Included from the Growth planVersion 0.4 · beta
Download the panel and unzip it. You'll get a folder called com.buildyourads.panel. Leave it in your Downloads folder for the next step.
The panel is installed as a developer extension while it's in beta, so the first two lines tell Premiere to allow that. Quit Premiere first.

Start Premiere Pro and open Window → Extensions → BuildYourAds. Dock it next to your Project panel.
In the panel's Settings tab paste your API key — create one in Settings → API keys (owners and admins, Growth plan or higher). The key only ever sees that workspace's footage. Hit Save & test.
Type what you're looking for the way you'd brief an editor, or paste a script on the Script tab to get every take where a line is actually said. Import places the cut in a BuildYourAds/… bin; drag it to the timeline.
While the panel is in beta it isn't signed through Adobe's Exchange, so Premiere needs to be told to load unsigned panels. The setting only affects extensions you install yourself. A signed installer is on the roadmap and will remove this step.
Imports use the 480p working copies and segment cuts, which is what you want for rough cuts and selects. Relink to the originals for the final export — they're in your library untouched.
Yes. The key is read-only, scoped to one workspace, stored on your machine only, and can be revoked any time in Settings → API keys. It never leaves your computer except to talk to BuildYourAds.
Almost always one of three things: Premiere wasn't fully quit before the install, the folder isn't named exactly com.buildyourads.panel inside the extensions directory, or the two developer-mode lines didn't run. Redo step 2 and restart Premiere.
