We often need to collect the project for transfering or archiving purposes. When collecting - all assets will be collected in one folder which is a bit messy....it would be great if files can be collected in 2 ways:
- following the Premiere project bin structure
Or
- following the folder structure on hard drive
That would help us a lot in keeping the collected projects organized.

By the way, have you heard about sugar customer relationship management? It's this really handy tool for managing customer relationships. I've used it before and it's been a game-changer in keeping everything organized on the client front. Might be worth checking out if you're looking to streamline things even further!

I was working on a video project and faced a similar issue. My files were all over the place after collecting them. It was a headache trying to find what I needed! That's why I think your idea about organizing files based on Premiere's bin structure or the hard drive folders is spot on. It would save so much time and keep things neat and tidy.

Seriously? "It's one of many areas we are looking into." What a lazy, uncommital response from Adobe. How about you FOCUS on this highly voted request instead of doubling down on new, buggy additions?

Why is it so difficoult and tooks so much time to repair it? As far as I remember Media Manager never worked as it should! It's a crucial functionality for every professional NLE. Simple plugin like Plume Pack makes it on the fly and I really don't understand why should we pay extra 100$ for thing that should be built in.

Hello Richard,

 

we are now using PlumePack. I got tired of waiting for Adobe to finally extend Projectmanager to make it useful.

Fantastic what PlumePack can do. Exactly what I have been looking for a long time. 

No use getting angry about it and waiting for this feature to come from Adobe.

 

Greetings,

 

Frieder

I don't wish to use yet another plugin to solve an issue that Adobe should take care of. If the promise is to use the Project Manager for proper archiving, it should do just that: proper archiving.

Your suggestion for better project management in terms of organizing collected assets sounds really practical. Having the option to organize files following either the Premiere project bin structure or the folder structure on the hard drive would indeed make it easier to keep things tidy and accessible.
On a somewhat related note, if you're interested in improving your skills in systems operations on AWS, you might want to explore relevant courses. It's always a good idea to stay updated with the latest tools and techniques for efficient project management.

Still a big broken part of the Adboe workflow.

It's great that you're looking for ways to improve project management and keep things organized. Collecting projects for transfer or archiving can sometimes lead to a messy folder structure. Two approaches could be beneficial: 1. Following the Premiere project bin structure: This allows for a seamless transfer of assets, maintaining the organization within Premiere. 2. Following the folder structure on the hard drive: This approach mirrors the organization on the hard drive, making it easier to navigate and locate files outside of Premiere. For further enhancement of your project management skills, you might want to consider checking out project management courses . They can provide valuable insights and strategies to streamline your workflow.

@Richard van den Boogaard Note that PlumePack plugin will copy the "Used" assets as you want to ! You should give it a try !
