Since im taking various broll from different servers and storage devices for my project, so the project is backed up as a whole.  Is there a way to do a combine all assets or export the project to another location and it gathers all the media, graphics and items as a whole and puts it into that directory?  So if i have a sequence with 4 video, 4 graphics and 4 audio and all the different sources are from different locations.   Does premiere pro have an option where i can take all 8 media items and put them into the same directory when im finished with my project similar as to what avid does?

    Because there are problems with the Project Manager, my recommendation is to do this kind of organization outside of PP using a proper file manager, like Windows Explorer or Finder.  And do so before you import the asset into the project, not after.

    Just a quick question for anybody out there: Does Project Manager actually work at all? If not I think Adobe should remove the menu item. I don't think I've ever gotten it to successfully work without throwing up an error at the end, wasting precious time. Really, it is important for Adobe to fix this for sharing 'slimmed down' projects with colleages or merely archive a smaller version of a project for editing on mobile systems, etc.

    I have never gotten it to work, and gave up several versions ago.

    I suspect it might have initially worked and was designed around DV .avi.

    Just a guess.

    I have also read lots of posts that it doesn't work,

    with no corresponding success stories at all.

    I have read posts charging long GOP media as the culprit,

    but as a test (years ago and posted here), I encoded some

    all I-frame MPEG media and tried to trim with Project Manager.

    It didn't work, and that's when I abandoned it as a potential tool.

    I do like Jim...

    Maintain organized media for each Project,

    then archive outside of Premiere.

    Project Manager is a feature for doing just what you say. In CC, you'll find it at the bottom of the File Menu. In prior versions, it was in the Project menu.

    You might want to surf the forum for "Project Manager" to review issues with the feature, mostly involving long-GOP formats and file-based content like P2.
