Premiere: Collaborative

[butterbescotch]

Whenever I transfer a premiere project, with all the related source, to another computer, it always asks for a link for those medias. It's really tiring, especially if you have hundred of footage involve. Is there anyway to make it automatic? Like in After Effect templates, you open the file and the files load automatically?

Yes, make sure the PATH (IE, Z:/FOLDER NAME) is the same on every computer you put it on.

The biggest piece of advice I can give is keep your computer folders a mess and have everything in one single folder, but then organize and separate everything inside of Premiere with the bins.

A Premiere Pro project file *.prproj is nothing but a road map to where the files are. It is a glorified EDL (Edit Decision List). If you move the project around on computers, it has to re-route that road map to match. If you put everything into a single folder on your hard drives, if you link the first file, it will automatically re-link all of the files. If you have a ton of sub folders, you will have to re-map to each folder, hence - use a single folder in Windows and all your bins inside Premiere.
