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.

I think is quite difficult to have a time estimation. It depend on the size of single files. For example, 1000 files of 1MB of size are slower to copy than 1 single file of 1000MB. The speed is also influenced by disk speed, ram and CPU usage while copying and other factors.

We have developed an extension for our personal use, then relased on aescript. The extension has a numeric counter instead a moving bar.

If you are interested, you can find the extension here: https://aescripts.com/smart-collect-for-premiere-pro/

I was looking for a better project manager for years...due nothing is changed, i programmed my own extension, Smart Collect. It doesn't transcode but only copy entire clip (i needed a working collect system, so i avoided all things that can cause issues ). It also collect the clip in all nested sequences used in the main sequence you want to collect. Furthermore, it copy the assets in a folder structure that mirror the one you created in Premiere Pro.

Thank you Igor! Premiere's most ignored feature. In 2020 I renamed it the 'no project management' feature.

Yes, and Premiere needs a simple “rename media file based off clip name” function. If Final Cut Pro 7 had it (and it did, and it was very useful) why on earth does Premiere not have it????

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't the 'Include Handles' checkbox the trim option you're looking for? Just check the box and put the frame count to 0. Unless I'm missing something..
