Better project management

Unbelievable Adobe replied to this thread in 2018 and NOTHING has changed!

Jumping on this thread to say that we DESPERATELY need a working project manager. I have to deliver consolidated projects all the time to an agency that keeps a rigid file structure. It can't be that hard to have a "preserve relative file path" option, and let Premiere populate those folders. After Effects can do this when it collects media, turning folders/bins into folders on the destination drive. How do we still not have this?

I absolutely agree with Mary. I have been waiting this feature for years, but we all know the facts.
So, i first developed smart collect for my own use. Then i realized that it could be useful for other people, so i polished it to be more easy and uploaded on aescripts.

I know that not all people can install what they want. The extensions however, are not like plugin or something that copy files all over the OS, it's just a folder that will be recognized by premiere as an extension.

To check compatibility, eventual bug and other, you can try for free the full version for 10 days (here is direct link to trial, no registration required)

There are also bugs inside Adobe official features

I totally agree with Mary. It’s not about just using third party plug ins which always have bugs and don’t work seamlessly with the software.

This needs to be fixed in Premiere. This includes consolidating after effect sequences, nested sequences and effects used. Which is compatible with different versions of both Premiere and After Effects.

I want to be able to finish a job, put in a library and come back to it years after with minimal of issues.

Mary could you contact us and tell us more about your issue of installing panels and plugins ? Here https://www.autokroma.com/contact
Thanks

Lots of people have recommended third-party plug-ins. Keep in mind when one is using a managed computer or in a suite, we don’t always have the ability to install these.

Due the fact project management is still broken, i'm here to remember that i created a dedicated extension (" Smart Collect for premiere pro" on aescripts.com )

It collect the footage used in the selected sequence (or multiple sequences) copying them on disk with the same folder structure you created in premiere pro. It also create a copy of the project and relink automatically the footage to the just copied files. There is also an option that delete from project window all the unused footage (unused in the selected sequences), to clean the project.

Smart Collect does not perform any trim or conversion, because i want an extension that works, without having issues with render/codec...it could be crash, stop, generate some errors that not depends from the extension.

I wanted a working extension, that produce a good collect, at the expense of a few more gigabytes.

Here there is a trial version, fully working for 10 days: https://aescripts.com/smart-collect-for-premiere-pro/

Let me know what you think 🙂
Thanks

Onto release 22 and still nothing has change on this useless project management. Any chance of an update? Might have to move to FCP. The only thing keeping me with Premiere is After Effects!

Haha its truly insane how such a basic feature has been essentially broken for 3 years now.
