Asking to professionals. 

When you have a lot of video files to send to Premiere Pro, how do you prefer to organize them? Do you prefer to organize before uploading to Premiere Pro or organize within the program? How do you usually do?

Before and after ingesting or importing.

Uploading is something different.

As I've LOVED the aisle discussions at NAB and MAX over the years, been through a lot of hours of this subject. It's done every possible way you can imagine.

 

Some heavily organize their media folders prior to importing the folder structure as well as the media. I tend to be in that groug mostly.

 

Some have bin templated projects in Premiere, and do all their organization by importing to specific bins.

 

Both can be made to work.
