Feature request: different default import paths for different bins

Oh, if you aren't familiar with Productions mode, you should be. No more single projects with EVEYTHING in one massive project file.

You have Premiere create a Production, which includes an actual folder structure on disc. You plan your organization, so you make subfolders in your Production folder (right-clicking) for say media, sequences, audio libraries, b-roll ... and within those subfolders you create projects, used largely as bins are used in stand-alone workflows.

You simply drag footage from a Media project to a sequence on a Sequence project, no dupes, it knows where those clips "live" ... and each project file stays smaller than putting them all together.

So your over work is better organized and there isn't near the problems with lagging and bloat.

EVERYONE should read their Productions docs, and especially the Long Form doc, the best operational tips and information for usably working in Premiere Adobe has produced.

Thanks, yes it would make sense I'm sure. Can you let me know what you mean by the 'Productions model', please?

One of the reasons I went to the Productions model in my small shop. As with projects holding all my audio libraries, graphics, b-roll, etc ... I can simply drag/drop them into any project I'm working on.

I think your suggestion is a solid help for many of us, happy to upvote.
