Transferring and Importing files
About transferring files
Transferring projects from other computers
When transferring project files, such as After Effects project files, Premiere Pro project files, or Final Cut Pro project
files from another computer to the computer on which you will import those project files into Premiere Pro, make sure
you transfer all the assets associated with the project files. Keep the project files, and their associated assets, on the
destination computer in folders that have names and folder structures identical with those on the computer of their
origin.
Transferring assets from file-based media
It is possible to edit assets residing on file-based media, such as P2 cards, XDCAM cartridges, SxS cards, or DVDs.
However, Premiere Pro performs faster if you first transfer the assets to a local hard disk. Using Windows File Explorer
(Windows) or Finder (Mac OS), transfer files from file-based acquisition media. Then, import the files on the hard
disk into Premiere Pro projects.
When transferring files to hard disk from file-based media, transfer the folder containing all related files and all of its
subfolders. Keep the folder structure intact. For example, when transferring files from AVCHD file-based media,
transfer the BDMV folder and all its contents. When transferring files from DVCPRO HD media, transfer the
CONTENTS folder and all its contents. When transferring files from XDCAM EX media, transfer the BPAV folder
and all its contents. When transferring files from DVD, transfer all the contents of the VIDEO_TS folder, and if it
exists, all the contents of the AUDIO_TS folder.
Transfer video files from file-based media into the same folder you specify for captured video with the project scratch
disk settings.
