Feature Request

Maybe this already exists but I'm not seeing it.

 

We need a Reduce Project option like After Effects.

 

Benefit:

This would be a seriously welcomed feature for simplifying/organizing file content and source material.

 

How it works:

Basically exactly the way the After Effects uses File/Dependencies/Reduce Project

Select the sequence you want to keep - using the same method as in AE (for consistency between programs). Premiere dumps everything that isn't associated with that Sequence, keeping nested sequences and their associated content. Now you have ONLY what is required for the selected sequence and everything else is dumped from the file - not the drive. The result is a simplified file with only what was required for the selected sequence.

 

I'm kind of surprised this feature isn't in Premiere by now. I use it alot with After Effects and it's extremely handy.

 

If anyone else sees the value in this please vote.

 

Thanks!

Randy C.

The devs always say it isn't as easy as users expect ... 😉

Thanks for upvoting Neil. I felt the same way about it being easy to
implement. I suspect it may not be as simple as we think or they probably
would have implemented it already.

We'll see.

Nifty idea, well stated too. And as you noted that Ae already has this, something that might be easier for the devs to study and recreate in Pr coding.
