AE: a common media folder

After Effects feature request: Allow me to assign a “common media” folder on my computer that stores often-used assets for templated work. If media can’t be sourced when opening a project, look in that folder first. It’d save lots of labour. I work in a newsroom where we do many templated graphics every day. Each one uses the same 2gb movie file. The feature I requested above would allow us to just store a single version of that file on each machine and never worry about it again.

How might this differ from manually creating a folder for the commonly used media files on each workstation?

Or using a Library?
