hey what's up ladies and gentlemen I'm Ignace Aleya and today I will be showing you
how to collect files in Premiere Pro
this is super handy when you finished a project and you just want to save your
project for later on but you only want to keep the bare essentials to keep that
project working you want to get rid of everything that you didn't use and you
just want to put everything nicely tucked in together and nicely organized
and then you can just back up your project or if you want to share it with
someone else that continues working on your project file and you want to make
sure that he has all the files that you use in your project file maybe you use
some stock footage that you took from a different folder you downloaded to music
which is still in your downloads folder which you dragged it in Premiere Pro and
everything is at the different location and you want to get all these files that
you used in your project file to collect them in your project of Premiere Pro so
that's basically it it will get everything in the same folder and just
collect all the files that are needed to create this project so we will jump into
Adobe Premiere Pro and see how this is done also if you liked this video please
give it a like also subscribe to the channel hit the notification ball so you
get notified when I upload new videos that would be great so yeah without
further ado let's get started alright so here I am in Adobe Premiere Pro with a
project that I have been working on and now I want to back up this project so I
can come back to it later and make sure that everything will still work maybe I
will change something in my download directory where I use some music from or
I will go and and the sound effects for example get moved because these come
from a different folder where I store all my stock sound effects and all these
things just come from different places I didn't drag them into the project folder
each time so if I would give this project file to someone he will be
missing a lot of these files so now I just want to organize everything into
the same folder and just go like the entire project so as you can see here I
have a big big structure would also choose and suggest that you put
everything that kind of belongs together into a separate folder and just rename
everything maybe but yeah that's not for this tutorial it's kind of a mess over
here so don't pay too much attention to this so basically what you'll do is
you go to your sequence that you want to save you if you have multiple sequences
that you want to save make sure and that you select that later on but also most
of your projects end up in one sequence so if you don't want the second one to
be exported you can just ignore that for now make sure it has a decent name just
so you you actually remember what you've been doing there we go so I just renamed
it what I will do now is just go to file and over here you will see project
manager and in here you can actually do everything of this so you will see your
sequences and the project manager and you just want to make sure that
everything in the sequence short film back to the future is backed up but all
the rest are just sequences of other stuff I've been doing and didn't really
belong to this project so if you want you can check it on or just leave it
unchecked and over here you have the resulting project where it can collect
the files and copy it to the new location or you can consolidate and
transcode all these files so you have them smaller in a different format so
that's completely up to you if you would click on that it will go for an and the
xhr which is almost lossless so I will just go for collective files and copy to
new location because my gh 5 doesn't necessarily have very big files then you
have a few other options over here to exclude all the unused footage maybe you
have some clips in Premiere Pro that you didn't end up using in your final edit
and that's also taking up space so if you don't want that you just select
exclude and use Clips if you do want these provided into your project file
for example if you did a base edit but someone else might still want to to
re-import one of the files that you haven't used you can uncheck that and I
will take everything that you have in this project to the new location so I
don't need that exclude unused clips because it's actually finished project
it's published so I can exclude everything that I didn't use and then
include audio confirmed ideas ok that's all the REO and including the preview
files if you want it to be immediately rendered you can do that as well and or
if someone has to just re render it and it's completely up to you maybe you can
also uncheck that if you want a lower file size and that's basically it then
right here you have the dista nation path I wish you can browse and I
just said it at your location that you want to export this and then you have
the disk space your available disk space so I have two point three terabytes free
and I have a project size that is currently unknown but you can simply
click on calculate that will calculate the necessary storage space for this
project so this project is around nine gigabytes bigst oh that's that's okay
for me it's still a video project so once we click OK it will require your
project to be saved one last time so just click yes so now once it's done
collecting all the files you just go to the destination folder and it will most
likely be called copied and then underscore the project file and then
right here we'll see everything together so I have my project file from premiere
but I also connected it and linked it to After Effects so I have some link comps
and After Effects and then right here you'll see that project file which is
super nice that Premiere also includes these and some title animation graphics
all the sounds that I used all the clips I used and the media cache right here
and video previews this is a nicely structured file because everything that
is necessary in order for this project the work is just in here and just to
check I'm going to double click on it and see if it works there we go and as
you can see the preview is already green so that way you can simply quickly
replay your video great alright so that's it for this video I hope you
