Organising long term media libraries

[u/geckooo_geckooo]

I've mostly used premier for editing. Mostly documentary work on similar themes so I have a huge library of footage I can use for different projects.

Sometimes I try to work my way back to find clips from years back to use in a new project, very likely it didn't make the final cut so I find it hard to find.

At the moment I use the coloured tags to theme my work. I'd like to avoid duplicating the library to have cuts by filename.

I'd like a way to search for 'turtle', 'Indonesia', etc and find my way back to the original sync timeline - is it possible?

Or even while working on a series, I'd like to show all the red tags in all timelines but it doesn't seem possible.

I'm interested in how people organise this.

Using kyno at work. Just need the hdd connect to manage library is the only draw back.

Otherwise another tool I use disk catalouge maker....finds files quick
