Better project management

Badly needs fixing. Also would be great if it worked in the background. It also stops and won't continue if you have proxies attached that you've deleted at the end of the project. In general it doesn't play well with proxies, trying to archive all of them, not just those attached to a sequence.

I don't know if anyone else has the issue but when i use project management to consolidate a project for handoff to grade etc it always copies over all the proxy media regardless if the master clips are in the selection or not.

This has been happing since the addition of the proxy workflow

This would be really helpful. Final Cut did it, Davinci does it. Let's not fall behind with such an easy fix.

I agree, FCP 7 had a media management system that simply trimmed and left source material in its original codec and wrapper.

I would love to see that in Premiere.

I would like a simple, effective way of consolidating an edited project. Quit forcing me to conform my footage to a single format!!!!.

FCP 7 had the option to simply trim and not transcode source material for a media managed backup, and this was available over 10 years ago!!!!!


Why will adobe not add this feature? I could trim the project, and not lose any quality from my source material through re-encodes! I would love to have this as a feature!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ADD IT ASAP!

When working on a project with multiple formats, resolutions and codecs, your Project Manager is useless!!!!



All I get are Audio mismatch errors, unknown errors, and entire original footage clips copied to the backup folder because you are constraining me to transcode all footage to one format that may be incompatible with some of the source material. **** even freeware like MPEG Streamclip can trim without re-encoding.

The Project Manger is the absolute weakest feature of Premiere. I am offering you a simple solution that I feel would make most editors content with the backup performance.

FIX IT!!!!!!!!

I can't even get the Project Manager to output a small portion of our film to a consolidated directory with all required assets. This means that I need to give the DP the entire 18TB project, instead of only the media he needs to grade the film. Right now the Project Manager just quits after thinking for a few minutes with an error, asking me to try again. It's disappointing that the engineers actually coded in a message that says I should try again. This shows an awareness of randomness and instability with the code base that is disturbing. Regardless, I did try again. Nothing changed. And yes, flattening all of the consolidated media into one directory (if it did work) is extremely messy on a large project and I second the motion to maintain an original directory tree from the source material.

In it's simplest form, keeping the existing OS folder structure without collecting all of the assets in 1 folder would be phenomenal.

Possibly adding a export protocol with all clips listed like the marker export?

Oh yes. Oh yes yes yes.

Agreed
