How can I add a video to CC library?

I have been trying to add a video to CC library but it just won't add. 270 MB in size. Shouldn't be a problem since it's a service I'm paying for! What is the trick to add a video clip to the library so it can be easily be used over and over again in other videos without having to go a different folder every time to import into the project? I don't care about it being uploaded to CC servers, I just want the simplicity of having it in the libraries panel so it can be easily accessed without the hassle of having to import from a different folder to the project.

In premiere pro I exported it to the CC library and low and behold it's in the folder C:\Users\*****\Creative Cloud Files, but there seems to be no way to get this to show in the library panel in Premiere Pro or the one in Photoshop.

Does anyone have an answer? Thank you in advance!

In Premiere go to File/Project Settings/Scratch Disks. Then set all the options to Same as Projects. This will create folders alongside the Premiere file including ones for 'Motion Graphics Template Media' and 'CC Libraries Downloads'. You'll need to do this before adding any library items.

Hope this helps.

All of my settings were already set to SAME as PROJECTS. So that didn't make any difference to being able to save my intro sequence to the library to be used for all the videos I am producing for this client. I do have it saved in a folder NOT in the cloud, since I don't prefer to do anything in the cloud.

I just don't get having a library you can't put anything into from your media folders or offline folders for reuse.

Oh yes, something I forgot, the file uploaded to adobe servers. I deleted it from there though as I don't want my files on a "cloud" server. But before I deleted it from adobe's servers, I tried every way I could think of to get it to show in the library panel, to no avail. Now since deleting it from adobe cc server, it no longer shows up in the C:\Users\*****\Creative Cloud Files on my system.

I think there should be a LOCAL LIBRARY system instead of the cloud library, let the user choose which they prefer!

Create your own. Put commonly used source files on a drive (internal/external) attached to your computer. Anytime you need those source files, File > Import> Navigate to the files > Done.

Thank you for the reply.

But that's exactly what I am trying to avoid having to do as that is what I'm currently doing now. The trouble with it is that, everytime you navigate to a new folder the programs use that and when you export the video it will export it to the last folder you used. So you have to go to extra steps to navigate back to the folder you want to export too and choose it.

I assume that the idea or purpose of having a library panel in premiere pro, photoshop and other "cc" programs is to have frequently used assets quickly accessible. But it's not really since it doesn't work as advertised.

Again, thanks for trying to help!
