Search Deck User guides

01

Adding search folders

1. Install Search Deck and the shared SEOHA Bridge separately in Product Manager, then restart Premiere.
2. Use the folder icon → Add folder in Search Deck to register sound-effect and video folders. Registered folders are indexed on this computer.
3. Check indexing status, then enter a search term. Premiere project items and local media are displayed separately.
4. After changing a folder's contents, use Rescan to refresh it. Reconnect any disconnected external drive before use.

• Media cannot be inserted while its source drive is disconnected, even if it remains in search results.
• Searching local files and inserting into a Premiere timeline are separate operations. Insertion requires a Bridge connection and an active sequence.

02

Open, selection, and preview shortcuts

Mac: ⌘ + Shift + Space / Windows: Ctrl + Shift + Space

This is the default global shortcut. If it was changed, use the current combination shown at the top of the app.

↑ / ↓

Selects a search result. Finish Korean input composition before selecting a result.

Shift

Toggles preview for the item selected with the arrow keys. Audio is played as sound, and supported videos show a video preview. Space is not the preview shortcut.

Enter

Inserts the selected item on the specified tracks. Check the playhead and V/A tracks before insertion.

Esc

Hides the search window. It does not quit the app.

• Change the invocation shortcut using the shortcut button at the top or in Settings. If the new combination conflicts with another app, the previous combination is retained.
• The result's Play and Insert buttons can also be used instead of the keyboard. Preview may be limited by the internal codec even when the file extension is supported.

03

Choose tracks and place safely

1. Open the target sequence in Premiere and place the playhead where the media should start.
2. Check the video V track and audio A track at the top of Search Deck. Check both tracks if the video contains audio.
3. To avoid shifting existing edits, turn off Ripple Insert and press Enter or the Insert button.
4. If an overlap notice appears, check the filename that remains displayed and the available V/A tracks, then select Confirm or press Enter. The current conflict is checked again; suggesting empty tracks does not trigger automatic insertion.

04

When should Ripple Insert be enabled?

Enable Ripple Insert only when inserting media at the current position while shifting later edit points. This can change the existing timeline, so distinguish it from normal placement in empty space.

• After insertion, check the audio and later edit points as well as the video.
• Enable Automatically close Search Deck after successful insertion in Settings to hide the search window only when insertion succeeds.

05

Window position and quitting

Remember position

The app remembers a position set by dragging its title area and retains it when reopened or restarted.

Settings → Reset position

Returns the search window to the center of the current monitor.

Settings → Quit Search Deck

Closes the search window and quits the resident app. Quit Search Deck is also available from Product Manager's tray or menu-bar icon.

06

Search, preview, and insertion troubleshooting

No results or file not found

Check that the source files are in the search folder and the external SSD is connected, then rescan. For a library moved to another computer, register the actual folders on that computer.

Preview does not work after Korean input

Finish Korean input composition, select an item with the arrow keys, then press Shift. Also try the Play button. Update Search Deck if using an older version.

The media configuration could not be safely verified

The operation stopped because video/audio streams or tracks could not be confirmed. Check the Bridge and Search Deck versions, the sequence's V/A tracks, the source file, and Premiere's media-link status.
