What is the best way to transfer files to Premier

[Ian Cook]

Media Browser, set to ‘XDCAM EX’, browse to card or card archive

Thanks,

All files are in folders and in order to import them I have to one by one open the folder and import them.
Is there any better way?

Thanks

Change the drop down menu in the media browser from “File directory ” to “XDCAM EX” and you’ll see thumbnails for all the files at once.

Thanks Ian,
Sorry for my ignorness.
When I click “import” in PP a windows explore is opened. Right to the file name I choose “XDCAM-EX Movie” and than go to the “CLPR”
where all files are (in folders).
Unfortunately I dont get the files only.
What I did wrong?

Thanks

You don’t use traditional File–>Import, you use the Media Browser in the bottom left of the application. There’s a dropdown menu there that can be set to ‘File Directory” (in which case you’d have to go to BPAV–>CLPR–>ClipNameFolder–>ClipName.mp4) or a specific format– in this case ‘XDCAM EX.’ If you set it to ‘XDCAM EX’, Premiere knows how to read the EX card structure and will show all the thumbnails at once. Let me know if you see otherwise.. Should definitely work in CS5/5.5.
