I have CS6 and it works fine, also it allows me to open media in After Effects. I don´t know if its something with the software version or with the OS (i´m on a PC). I can even apply every animation preset to an after effects composition from Bridge browser… Sorry, i have no answer to this…
Have you tried to drag and drop the media from Bridge to the PPro Proyect pannel?

Those metadata keywords can be used for making searchs within Bridge, locating and previewing media, and then if needed importing it in Premiere by double clicking the file in Bridge or right click and choosing Import to Premiere (PPro must be opened for these options).

If you want all done in Premiere, you can use too the Description column in Proyect Pannel to classify your files by adding keywords in the description field, then you can locate media using the proyect pannel´s search engine.

Also one thing that helped me was making media selected sequences, so in one sequence i had for example all the Space footage by dropping in this timeline all the selectec cuts of planets, galaxies or universes i had to have it located and be found very quickly.
At the end of classifing work, i had about 25 timelines for raw footage, each one with one different cathegory. And it was very easy to locate a cut, then copy and paste it in my Master timeline.

Hope it will help you.

As Alex said they are metadata keywords, in metadata pannel. Then you can apply any filter in the filter pannel to have all your media filtered deppending on the keywords you want.

I´m about to finish a documentary series (250 min total) with thousands of files with different formats and resolutions, and one thing i noticed is that being organized is the best option, so yes, if you have all your media classified in folders in your hard disk will help you to find your files very quickly, as well as navigate through them using the PPro Media Browser. This method will allow you to only import whatever file you need and no need to import the hole bunch of folders with lots of media that perhaps will not be useful for this proyect.
Another advice i can give you is to have same estructure in your PPro proyect pannel of this folders in your hard drive, so you will always have everything controlled and located, and link or unlink media as needed knowing always where to exactly find the files.
In addition, you can use Adobe Bridge to have every media file catalogued using tags, so you can locate instantly every video, audio or still image tagged with whatever keywords you need, and import them automatically into PPro double clicking the file in Bridge.

In the PPRO proyect pannel find the dynamic linked composition (you can select the comp. in the timeline, right click and choose Show in proyect to find it), right click and choose Link media, then look for the .aep proyect and choose the right composition to be linked.

Ok, some tests done. You´re right, linking one clip will make premiere recognize others in the same folder structure, although they´re in several subfolders, but need to relink manually every clip in different folder structure than previous one.
If only CS6 could have a media type explorer for relinking too as CC and not only a file type explorer it would be more easy.

Anyway thanks for your help!

Ok Paul, i´ll let you know how´s it going when i have all this footage.
Thanks a lot!

Cheers

Thank you very much Paul for the tips. Ok so if I relink one clip of each BPAV folder, Premiere will find every single clip within this folder, although they are in lots of different subfolders, is that right? Well i´m litle bit relaxed knowing it, althoug it´ll be still a headache, as we´ll have tons of folders of a 30 day filming. I´ll have a try as soon as we have all this XDCAM EX footage.
I guess that there is no other way of doing it?

Unfortunately we don´t have Prelude CC so won´t have this option for putting some order and renaming footage, which will probably help a lot in this proyect.

Hi. I´ve succesfully fixed flicker too in the past with VirtualDubMod (https://virtualdubmod.sourceforge.net/), it´s free and easy and gives reasonable good results.
I made a videotutorial about this, it´s in spanish but i think you won´t have much problem understanding it, perhaps it may help:

Not possible.
But there is something you could do:
When setting the preset, allocate first keyframe in the first frame of the clip, then save the preset with “Link to in point” option.
If you want to start (or paste) that keyframes from current time indicator, cut the clip in this point and apply the preset to the cut.
