Based on the idea behind the FCP workflow, whereby multiple editors work on separate projects that are dedicated areas of a single production to be brought together later, Premiere Pro can have multiple projects as such and then a master project can import the other projects and select either the entire project with everything being imported, including the bin structures or import just selected sequences and only the assets used in the imported sequences.
In this, 1 Master project contains all the imported projects instead of having mutliple projects open at the same time, which can create problems when someone saves over the original edit and the state of the project is never certain in the event of a power outage or app crash, whereby important things are accidentally deleted.
PPro’s workflow of importing projects or sequences with associated assets used leaves the original edits alone and therefore the originating editors can continue to work on them and make updates with specific new sequences that can then be imported and be used to replace or compare with older imports. The original project is never compromised.
