  • Collect and copy – create bin folders in finder?

    Posted by Jimmy Brunger on March 5, 2015 at 12:25 pm

    Does anyone know if there is a way to set PProCC2014 to collect clips into the correct folder structure *OUTSIDE* of the project aswell as within the Project Panel’s bins?

    Obviously the standard format is to just dump them all loose in the ‘Copied_XXXXX’ destination folder, but with hundreds of clips all carefully binned within the project, I would have though PPro would just replicate that structure in the finder aswell. Just like how After Effects performs a collect?

    Is there a script or something, or ideally just a checkbox I’ve missed!?

    Thanks

    I like the idea….but what about structured media? (MXF, XDCAM)

    you see them as clips in ppro…

    but in this file system, they are often made up of multiple parts in multiple folders?

    This would be great when dealing with image sequences.

    I can’t believe its not a thing to be honest! Why would anyone ever want hundreds (thousands if img seqs) of files in one folder and the project file buried somewhere in there too?….looks like this is a feature request then?

    Any Adobe peeps on here who might be able to advise if this is doable now or a simple thing to impliment?

    Thanks,
    Jim

    Hello all,

    In order to have your full folder structure transfer to premiere I have only found one way.

    I import the folder into final cut 7 which retains the subfolder structure, then I export and xml of the project. Import the XML into premiere and there you have it.

    Hope that helps someone out there. I know when I figured it out it allowed me to stop pulling my hair.
