Archiving or Sending? Use Premiere Pro Project Manager
One under-utilized and under-appreciated feature within Premiere Pro is their Project Manager function. This essentially allows for an editor to package up a project file and ALL of its linked assets spanning across multiple drives and asset types into one succinct, clean, folder.
Watch the video to see the full walkthrough:
The video above goes into more detail, but I wanted to summarize here:
- Within Premiere Pro, navigate to: File – Project Manager
- Select which sequences you’d like to compile
- Select a destination path
- Optionally calculate the resulting folder size
- Select which options you need
- Press OK
I spent many years stumbling through archiving and sending old projects to clients, and this feature solves many of those past problems as a freelance video editor.
