![]() Naturally, this depends on how you expect to work with the project in its new location, and if you plan to edit more than one sequence going forward. ![]() The first is to decide whether you want to collect files used in all of the sequences in the project, or just one or more selected sequences. In the Project Manager dialog, you have several options. The Project Manager dialog opens (Figure 2, below). To consolidate and archive a Premiere Pro project or sequence when the proper time arrives, begin by navigating to File > Project Manager ( Figure 1, below).įigure 1. Not only was I looking to consolidate project media so I didn’t have to travel with an external hard drive, but also to pack up only the files used in the project so they wouldn’t consume too much storage on my laptop’s internal media drive. My goal in this case was to get all of the relevant files on my laptop before I left. In this project, I had files on one external hard drive and a few on a local drive on the desktop where I started the project. This was a project I edited and submitted for client review before traveling in August, but didn’t get signoff before I left.

It’s also a great help if you need to pass off a project to another editor. ![]() And it can prove particularly problematic if I start a project like this in my home office and need to continue to work on it while traveling.įortunately, Premiere Pro offers a great solution to this problem that’s especially helpful when you have a project that’s basically complete and simply need to archive the project and all of its assets in one place just in case you need to go back and make a change even after your client has signed off on it. Most editors know how annoying it can be to spend valuable time in the Locate Media dialog trying to track down files scattered hither and yon. It’s especially frustrating to find myself missing necessary files in a sequence when I have just small tweaks to make that would otherwise go relatively quickly and require minimal interruption to more current projects. Even when all the files are close at hand, it can become unwieldy just to work on a project that requires keeping 4 or more USB drives connected throughout the edit. Often this happens when I work on the same project on different computers, when I need or I’m producing conference promo videos that may include content captured in different years.įor Streaming Media, I’ve had projects that drew media from distinct drives for B-roll and full-session videos from a given event B-roll or timelapses from a previous year’s event and buyout media downloaded from or at different times over the years and stored in different locations altogether. One challenge I’ve encountered with certain types of Adobe Premiere Pro projects over the years is revisiting projects that combine media (video clips, photos, rendered After Effects comps, audio tracks, other stock media) from multiple hard drives and locating all of the media. ![]()
