Transfer assets from file-based media
Last updated on
Jun 23, 2025
Learn how to transfer assets from file-based media in Adobe Premiere Pro by copying media files along with the project to maintain a seamless workflow.
It’s possible to edit assets residing on file-based media, such as P2 cards, XDCAM cartridges, SxS cards, or DVDs. For best performance:
- Transfer files from their file-based media to a local hard disk.
- Using File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (macOS), transfer files from file-based acquisition media.
- Import the files on the hard disk into Premiere Pro projects.
Tip:
When transferring assets from file-based media, always copy the entire folder with all subfolders to preserve the original structure.
-
-
In the Project Manager window, under the Sequence section, check the boxes next to the sequences you wish to include. To select all, hold Shift and select any checkbox.
-
Select Collect Files and Copy to New Location to gather all assets into one place.
-
Under Destination Path, choose a folder where you want the files saved.
-
When you have selected your preferences, select OK to create a copy of the source file in a new location.
