Use MacOS file browser for import via Dynamic Link

I'm somewhat annoyed by the attempt of Adobe Premiere to force the user in their own immature way of accessing files from within the app. Please let Mac users use their known filebrowser, shortcuts and sidebar. Or at least give the option in Premiere's Settings.

 

Its annoying to navigate through hierarchies, while we know that there is an sidebar alias at hand.

 

Update:

The Adobe import interface appears when importing an Ae-Comp via Dynamic Link.

Hi Jaydude-wb,

Welcome to the community! The Dynamic Link import function uses a browser to quickly navigate back and forth between multiple projects and their comps before even importing them. You can access the macOS file browser by using the File > Import command. You may also submit a feature request or any UI suggestions at our Ideas page. Hope it helps.

 

Thanks,

Sumeet
