How to Archive Bins
The Project Manager basically only backs up *sequences*, right? It does nothing with the bins in a project.
I have a template project for my show. It has a bunch of important resources – like stock sfx, music and dialogue (efforts, etc) – which don’t live in any particular sequences.
I would like to create an archive of this template project, which would pull together copies of all the resources I’ve accumulated over time on this show – which live in bins, not sequences – in the same way that Project Manager would pull together copies of all the elements used in a sequence.
Is there any way to do this?

That’s easy if the source media for ‘all the important stuff’ is stored in one place, and will be there a year from now when you need it again. That’s not the case here, where the source material are clips from nearly a hundred episodes which will no longer be in their original locations (or even available at all) the next time this project file is needed.
I found a great solution, however, in a blog post here: https://www.thepremierepro.com/blog-1/2016/1/4/hey-project-manager-whered-my-folders-go
It’s a workaround using After Effects, but it accomplishes the most challenging goals: maintaining the bin structure and pulling together all the media from disparate sources.
Amazing that this functionality, which Adobe already has in AE, isn’t built into PP.
Thanks!
