What to type into the search bar. Query recipes, the operator grammar, and fixes for a search that came back with nothing.
Start here
You already know something about the shot you want. This guide turns whatever you remember, a line of dialogue, a face, a colour, a feeling, into a query that finds it.

Each of these takes one section of the main guide further, with the queries to type and the common mistakes.
Check a voice against its source clip, assign it to a person, then search matching footage by name, on screen or on mic.

Describe what a shot looks like and get matches from footage that was never tagged, described or transcribed.
The request for everything with number 100 becomes a thirty second job. Numbers are read from the frames themselves, on your machine.
What an .fcpxml file is, why Premiere Pro refuses it, and the three routes that work, including a free one.
Point FrameQuery at a folder once. After that, searching is free and works offline.
