This is on Mac; not sure about Windows. You'd have to drag the subfolders separately into main folders that you create yourself.

Import your clip/bin/folder structure to AE.
AE will retain the folder structure.
Select all. Copy.
Paste into Premiere Pro.

[r]Evolution May 31, 2012 5:18 PM (in response to Ann Bens)Thanks Ann Bens (& Jeff Greenberg).
It worked as suggested. It even brought over the pesky little "NewTek Info" folders from a client that I sometimes can't see in Explorer/Finder. Everything was Nice, Neat, and Organized, exactly the way they were set up. - I guess I should visit 'Bessie' more often as everything I found here for 'Import Folder Structure' led me to LightRoom discussions.
I sure hope being able to import Folder Structures will make its way over to Premiere as sometimes I edit on a box that does not have AE installed and this feature is super handy. Especially when a client or someone has already taken the time to organize the folders and will probably reference this structure when talking about footage or requesting a certain shot.
The method of importing individual subfolders can be T > Te > Ted > Tedi > Tedio > Tediou > Tedious

OT: How was someone else able to mark a CORRECT ANSWER to MY question? What if one of the other answers/methods suited MY needs better?

abarrmcs Feb 25, 2013 1:44 PM (in response to [r]Evolution)If you have a copy of Final Cut Pro 7 you can import the folder tree into the project window, then export an XML to open in Premiere. Its an extra step, but it does preserve the folder tree.
