Seriously? PPro CC still can’t import subfolders?!
I updated to the latest version of PPro CC and there is still no way to import a folder with subfolders while retaining the hierarchy, instead PPro rather inconveniently imports the folder you’ve selected and just puts every file in there disregarding any subfolders entirely. I have a feeling this is something every single editor wants yet Adobe hasn’t addressed.
I am aware that I can import folders into AE and copy/paste them into PPro but that’s a sad workaround for a feature standard in every other NLE (hell even AE can do it).
It may seem small, but these small inconveniences really add up when you’re starting a new project every 3 days… or importing any new assets. Also, it bothers me that I’m presented with a glaring oversight in an otherwise “pro” app every time I use it.
I’ve put in a feature request for this and urge everyone else to do the same, otherwise I double Adobe will get around to this – they haven’t been concerned with it yet. You can put in a feature request here.

For what it’s worth you can organize your media (footage and audio) in Prelude in a folder with subfolders and send that single folder to Premiere and it will maintain the folder structure. I get that it’s probably faster in most cases to use the AE work around, but it’s something to remember if you’re using Prelude to mark/ingest your raw stuff.

Thanks for the Prelude tip, Paul, but did you find a way to ingest clips into Prelude while maintaining aub/folder structures? Or are you just saying you can ingest into Prelude, getting a ‘flat’ hierarchy, then organize everything in Prelude before sending it to Premiere?

Kim, this has since been fixed in PPro CC 2014. Folders and files are imported with the same hierarchy that they have on the OS.

Yep, works very well!
