Archiving
The Adobe Premiere Pro Project Manager can help facilitate an efficient workflow by performing two functions:
reducing the storage needs of a project, and consolidating the files associated with a project.
Using the Project Manager feature, you can create a version of your project, called a trimmed project, that references
only the material used in your sequences. Trimmed projects are saved under a unique name in the standard Adobe
Premiere Pro project file format (.prproj).
In the trimmed project, file references have been modified so that the project refers only to the portions of the
footage items that you used in sequences. You can instruct the Project Manager to copy the relevant portions of the
source media files to serve as the trimmed project's source files; or you can have the trimmed project list the footage
items as offline, so that you can capture them from videotape. (The latter method is useful when employing an
offline/online editing workflow, in which you replace low-quality footage used for editing with high-quality footage
used for export.) Using either method, you reduce storage requirements by using only the media you need to create
and export the sequences in the project; you can archive or delete the original source media.
The Project Manager can also help you consolidate, or collect, a project. Collecting files copies the current project
and all of its associated media files to a single location. You can use this feature to gather a project's source media
files when they are stored in various locations, and to prepare a project for sharing or archiving.
When you create a trimmed project and source files, keep the following things in mind. The Project Manager copies
only portions of source footage used in sequences. However, you can specify the number of extra frames, or handles,
the new footage includes, so that you can still make minor edits in the trimmed project. The new footage retains the
timecode and reel number of the original captured footage. If one or more subclips share frames with another
subclip, the Project Manager creates a footage file that contains only those shared frames. The Project Manager also
copies the still image sequences used in the original project. Still images, titles, offline clips, and generated footage,
such as color bars and counting leaders, are also retained, but not trimmed.
When either trimming or collecting a project, you can specify whether the new project retains any of the unused
clips from the original project.
Note: Project Manager retains any effect keyframes and clip markers that exist beyond the In and Out points of a
trimmed clip.
