new IMPORT tab doesn't allow to unselect all or multiple items (Premiere 2022)

[RicardoSalgadoC]

Hello! when creating a new project I want to import only ONE subfolder/file from the main folder where my whole project is located, but there is no way to unselect all but one folder/file,  premiere just automatically selects all files from the previously double-clicked main folder, that has inside many folders and files, but I just only need one of them and unselecting one by one is a waste of time, especially if there are hundreds of files for example.
Am I doing something wrong? Or it's just a poorly designed Import tab.

You can skip the new import tab by giving your project a name and give it a location > OK

 Import your folder in the Project window or with the Media Browser.

Ann's right ... name your project, select a location, click Create and build your project in the normal ways for more complex or specific needs.

The new import process was added as a replacement for the options on the old 'new project' dialog that few users ever used. This added import process is something that is designed for someone who needs to make and finish quick projects ... maybe many in a day ... an example would be a TV newsroom editor.

So it's simple, grabs everything in the folder & under in one 'flat' bin ... and I've been told is fantastic for those that need that.

But for most of us, it ain't a good way to start a project, and we weren't expected to use it anyway.

I create vids for different clients on a daily basis using the same open and close from their past videos.  I remove the old video and insert the new one, bringing them in from different folders.  I just change the text.  Please put in the select all or delete all check box.  You can have it default to all checked, but to have to uncheck 27 vids individually to get just one file is annoying and time consuming when I have other vides to complete.  Thank you, Trace

btw, I do not believe newsrooms are your primary user base.  Just sayin...

First, understand ... I don't use the new import page, it's not useful for anything I do. And I've modded the export presets so the export page isn't a big pain anymore. Not changes I needed, clear on that?

I'm just not sure why you'd make that statement about newsroom editors ... that's simply one example of users with different needs than you or I have. There are many others one can easily give. That are in major corporation in-house video production among other things.

Again ... the new stuff doesn't fit my needs. But that doesn't mean I don't think they should do something that does fit the needs of others. Which ... darn it all ... but those changes do make great sense for some users.

I would heavily upvote allowing us to select the old or new processes as a User Default ... naturally.
