I'm looking for a workflow to edit in Premiere Pro. In the past I have a central location of all my video footage and in my Premiere Pro project I will drag the videos into the Premiere Pro project. Question, when I drag my video footage into the PP project, does this mean I just duplicated the video footage? Should the video footage be reside within each Premiere Pro project to reduce file duplication and file relinking when projects are moved to portable drive to work on the go? What is your workflow? Thank you.

Premiere references the location of the files on disc, it does not create a new duplicate file. Except for when using the MediaBrowser with "Ingest" turned on, and you've set an Ingest practice to say transcode selected media to X format in Y location.

If media is on an external drive, it would be best to assign the external drive a fixed drive letter.
