Aescripts Smart Collect
Smart Collect allow to make a copy of the files used in a timeline, avoiding this way to copy all the non used material. Furthermore, the copied material will be organized in a folders structure that mirror the one that the user has created inside Premiere.
The Premiere Pro native function “project manager” provides the same feature, but it doesn’t keep track of the material used in the nested sequences, leaving to the user the time-consuming labor to write down one at the time all the nested sequences names used in the project, adding the risk to skip one of said sequences. Imaging the scenario where there are nested sequences inside other nested sequences inside others ecc… the user should open each sequence and write down all the sequences names.
Using Smart Collect, the user needs only to open the desired sequence, click on the copy button and Smart Collect will do the job.
Features of Aescripts Smart Collect
- Make a copy on disk of all the assets used only in the selected timeline.
- Save a copy of the project and relink it’s clips to the copied ones.
- The assets will be copied in a folder structure that will be the same of the one created in Premiere project window. With this feature, you can import assets without the need to copy and organize them before importing in Premiere
- You can shrink your project deleting unused assets and timelines
- A couple of limitation:
After effect imported project: due Premiere Pro scripting limitation, it’s risky for Smart Collect to handle these files. To avoid errors, Smart Collect will only generate a log files (AE Files.txt), where you can find the paths of after effect projects used, so you can backup and relink it manually. At the end of the copy process, a popup will remind you how many after effect projects there are to relink. Always remember to relink, otherwise they will point to the original files and not the copied ones. Check the manual for more info. - Graphic essential template: due Premiere Pro scripting limitation, unlike after effect projects, these files will be ONLY copied, but NOT relinked. Smart Collect will generate a log (AEG files.txt) that shows you the path where is the copied template, so you can easly relink it. At the end of the copy process, a popup will remind you how many template there are to relink. Always remember to relink, otherwise they will point to the original files and not the copied ones. Check the manual for more info.
