basehead has hardwired Target App support for Adobe Premiere Pro.
This allows actions/functions like…
- Spot to Track with and without Handles (S)
- Xfer to Bin/Pool (X)
- Follow Session Folder
To get going, you’ll first need to install the basehead Panel from the
Adobe Exchange Website.
Once it’s installed, re-open PPro and you’ll now see the BaseHead Panel in the ‘Window/Extensions’ menu. –>>
NOTE: for basehead to communicate with this panel it must always be open. –>>>>
(stupid requirement if you ask us)
To Spot files directly to PPro from basehead first select where you which track you want the new file to land by selecting an audio track. They are usually named A1-A8. In the screenshot to the right we have track A3 selected.
Then place your playhead at the desired location where you want the incoming file to be placed and go to BH and press “S” and it will toss the file to PPro to the selected track at the location of the playhead.
If you only want the files just to go Media bin only and not to a track then use the command “X” from BaseHead.
Also you search this KnowledgeBase for how to use ‘Follow Session Folder’
NOTE: Since PPro doesn’t have a dedicated Audio Files folder like DAW’s usually do, we auto-create a subfolder name “_bhAudio” next to the .prproj session file to place newly created files into.
Super Old Video but the basics are still the same. 😉
