Just tried this. One EXTREME drawback – take heed.
You cannot have BOTH subfolders AND uncategorized individual files inside of your main folder. If you do, copying and pasting from AE to Premiere will take all of the individual files and toss them inside one of the subfolders.
For instance: I have a folder called “Abraham Lincoln”. Inside this folder:
– Sub-folder: 1st inaugural
– Sub-folder: 2nd inaugural
– Sub-folder: 1860 Election
– Sub-folder: 1864 Elections
– 7 graphics (not categorized into sub-folders)
It maintained the structure from the Finder when I imported it into AE.
But when I copied this and pasted over to Premiere, I got the 4 subfolders just fine. But the 7 individual files had been moved into the last sub-folder (1864 Elections).
Don’t get me wrong; I appreciate the advice. It does save alot of work. But it is not applicable if you don’t have EVERYTHING in a sub-folder.
Come on, Adobe. There’s been enough comments on this all over the web. Time for a fix.
