Hi there,
I'm a modestly experienced Adobe Premiere user with about 20 YouTube videos under my belt, using Version 25.2.3 (Build 4) on a Mac (12.7.6 Monterey), and would love a recommendation/critique of this one thing about my workflow that annoys me: adding downloaded files to the project.
Here's what I am doing:
1. download a file into my Downloads folder (I'm on a Mac)
2. I don't want to leave all my project files in the Downloads folder so I drag the downloaded file to another folder that is setup for my project.
3. Then I have to drag the file from my project folder into the correct folder in the Premiere project window to keep it organized. (if I just drag the file onto the timeline it copies the file to the root directory in the projcet window, which I dont want).
This is too many steps, and here's what I've love to be able to do in a perfect world: download a file, then drag it directly into my timeline and have the file be automatically copied to the project folder (in Finder) and have it be placed automatically in the folder of my choice within Premiere.
Is it possible to set this up to do what I'd like? Or, am I just totally barking up the wrong tree and there is a completely different, more efficient way to do this?
thanks all!
