  Import list of file paths

  Posted by Andy Baumgartner on May 2, 2014 at 5:31 pm

  Hi, does anyone know of a way to import a list of file paths into Premiere pro?

  Ex. “folder\file.mov, another_folder\file2.mov”

  For background: I use Adobe Lightroom to manage videos with a coworker in a cloud synced folder structured by date. I’d like to import the videos where they are, but its very difficult to do this since they are spread over many folders. It’s much easier to create a list of files in Lightroom.

  Thanks!

  Hi Andy,
  You can import a batch list of offline clips, then reconnect them using the Link Media command.

  Here’s info on batch lists: https://helpx.adobe.com/en/premiere-pro/using/batch-capturing-recapturing.html#import_and_export_batch_lists

  Would that work?

  Thanks,
  Kevin

  Have you ever considered just making Bridge Collections of those files?

  that way, the files can stay in place but you can group them together however you want….and then drag and drop from the collection directly into Pr?

  Thanks for the info everyone!

  Kevin’s suggestion for batch import works for my purposes.

  I will have to check out making a bridge collection, that seems like a better workflow.
