Detecting faces in a sequence
Adobe Premiere Pro can now analyze one or more clips to determine which ones 
contain faces. After this analysis, you can filter the Project panel for clips that 
contain faces. Note that you can run this analysis on all supported media, including 
still images.
1
In the Project panel, choose the four clips in the Project panel: Hero-analysis.
mpeg, Sunset_14.JPG, Sunset_15.JPG, and Medieval_villain_01.mpeg. Note 
that the two video clips contain faces, while the JPEGs do not. Right-click the 
selected clips, and choose Analyze Content.
2
In the Analyze Content dialog, select the Face Detection check box. In the 
Quality drop-down list, choose High (slower). Make sure that the Speech check 
box is not selected. Click OK to start analyzing.
3
Adobe Media Encoder opens and analyzes the selected clips. When Adobe 
Media Encoder is finished, return to Adobe Premiere Pro.
4
In the Project panel, click the Filter Bin Content drop-down list, and choose 
[Find Faces]. Only the video clips should remain in the Project panel.
#
 Note:
To make the 
rest of your content 
re-appear after finding 
clips with faces, click 
the X in the Filter Bin 
Content drop-down 
list to clear the [Find 
Faces] entry.
