Question

Folders don't import as bins when using the import module when setting up a project

Using Premiere Pro version 25.5 with Sonoma 14.4.

 

When I try using the import module and select folders to import, why don't they import as bins? They just come in as loose clips into the project panel, meaning that I have to recreate bins.

 

Am I missing a work around? Do I need to update OS?

 

Thanks for any help!

To preserve your folder structure as bins, import your media through the Media Browser instead of the import module. Go to Window > Media Browser, then navigate to your folders and import from there. This method maintains folder and subfolder structures by converting them into bins in the Project panel.
