HOW TO: importing folder/file structure into project
Hi,
I am wondering if there is some way Premiere Pro CS5 copies a mirror of my folder structure when importing video files. For example, on my drive I have a main folder for the Day, subfolders for location, and perhaps subfolders for scenes, and inside that last subfolder are my video clips. When importing the main folder for the Day into the project panel Premiere just compiles and consolidates all the clips into the main folder without retaining any subfolder system that I’d carefully made. Is there a setting to use so that Premiere doesn’t do away with all my subfolder organization?
Thanks!

That is the way its designed.
Premiere does not reconize the subfolders.
You can place your assets in bins in the Project Window. -
Thanks for the confirmation.

Ah, but I have a cool trick.
Import them into After Effects, which DOES respect folder hierarchies.
Then COPY/PASTE the folders into Premiere Pro.
Best,

Hey Todd Kopriva and/or Adobe, if you’re listening: This is one of many elementary incapabilities within Premiere “Pro” that is entirely absurd. And yeah, I’m filling out a feature request now.

Still NOT fixed in CS6. C’mon Adobe, this is basic stuff.
