    premiere pro CC 2014 will not bring entire folder contents into project

    serrini Community Member

      It's a simple finder action, dragging and dropping, yet, I cannot get Premiere to put the entire contents of a folder into the project.

       

      Lots of editors do some preliminary binning on the drive. It's how we organize footage. An example would be a folder structure that has the DAY then the CAMERA ROLL then a SCENE then even a SCENE BREAKDOWN.

       

      When I drag the DAY folder into the project I expect the entire structure to be imported, all the subfolders and all the footage.

       

      It's a hell of a feeling when you drag in the one master folder, and only some of the folders/footage come into the project, and you dont realize until about two days into making selects and have to start over.

       

      This is what my drive looks like:

      and either dragging or doing file import gives me this:

      no rhyme or reason to what it considers a folder or not. Some its like "sure, lets give him all the subfolders" others its like "ew. folder 01. I hate firsts. lets skip that."

       

      Computer. Do what I say. I am the master. And Adobe... this is a pretty basic function.

       

      Thanks for any help or light you can shed on zee subject. . . Adobe community is the best in the world.
