Something like Digital Heaven’s Loader for Premiere?
I’m one of the many recent converts from Final Cut to Premiere and one thing I really miss is a little plugin from Digital Heaven called “Loader” — https://www.digital-heaven.co.uk/loader It’s a little app that runs on the side and allows you to to drag sound FX and music to it, and it will automatically convert them to 48khz aiff files and copy them into your project folder on your computer and auto-import it into your Final Cut project. It’s really great when working with a lot of sound FX, because you can drag a whole bunch in there, and they are instantly brought into your project and you know that none of them will show up offline later down the road.
I was just wondering, what are other people’s workflow when it comes to using things like sound FX and whatnot that you’re sourcing from a big sound FX library?

Another gotcha I’m finding is — I’m used to the way Final Cut handles audio tracks, ie: 2 mono tracks to represent a stereo file. In Premiere there are both mono and stereo tracks. You can set the project to force mono for all tracks which is behavior similar to Final Cut, but I’m finding it frustrating when needing to apply an effect to a stereo clip and I’m forced to tweak 2 separate instances of the effect before I can hear what I’m doing. I have to tweak the left channel mono, and the right channel mono. Is there a better way to be going about this?
Thanks?

Hi Dustin…
So what you are saying is that you prefer to treat all tracks as mono to make with workflow as similar to FCP as possible, but you are frustrated that when you treat a stereo source as dual mono that it then requires effects to be handled individually?
I can certainly understand wanting your new workflow to be as similar to your old workflow as possible, but could I suggest that you simply adopt using stereo tracks for stereo sources and mono tracks for mono sources?
Essentially then you’ll have solved your problem, one effect for a stereo source.
I’m not trying to be a jerk, please don’t take it as such. I’m just trying to help.
Believe me, I came to PPro from the now defunct edit* so I went thru many pains myself, but have come to like the flexibility of the PPro audio on the timeline….
