Project InTake.
Your media,
already there.

Project InTake is a Premiere Pro plugin that watches folders connected to your project and automatically imports new media. Both editions wait for copies to finish, prevent duplicate imports, and remember settings for each Premiere Pro project.

Lite is free and focused: it watches one folder without subfolders and imports media into one flat Project Intake Lite bin. Pro is designed for multiple watched folders, mirrored folder structures, image sequences, missing-media re-ingest, unavailable-folder recovery, Project Health, diagnostics, and advanced controls.

Download Project InTake Lite v1.0.0 directly from this page. The ZIP includes the installer and README. Project InTake Pro is available through Adobe Exchange.

1. Quit Premiere Pro.
2. Unzip the download, then double-click the Project InTake Lite .ccx file.
3. Follow the installation prompts.
4. Reopen Premiere Pro and launch Project InTake Lite from the plugin panel.

Developer Mode is not required for a packaged .ccx installation. Your installer may display a warning for a privately distributed plugin; install only the package downloaded from this site.

Project InTake is available for macOS and Windows and requires Premiere Pro version 25.6 or newer.

1. Open the Premiere Pro project where you want imported media to appear.
2. Launch Project InTake Lite from the plugin panel.
3. Choose Select Folder and select a folder containing incoming media.
4. Click Start Watching.
5. Add or copy supported media directly into the selected folder.

Lite watches one folder at a time. Selecting another folder replaces the current selection.

Lite imports files directly inside one watched folder into one flat Project Intake Lite bin. Pro scans multiple folders and subfolders and mirrors their structure as bins in Premiere Pro. Both wait until copying is complete and prevent duplicate imports.

Lite remembers imported-file history for each Premiere Pro project so the same file is not repeatedly imported. Pro also indexes media already in the project and compares normalized full paths, so identically named files in different folders remain distinct.

Lite detects likely numbered image sequences and skips them rather than importing hundreds of individual frames. Pro groups and imports supported numbered files as image sequences after they stabilize.

Both editions remember their selected folders for each Premiere Pro project. Lite may require you to select the folder again after access is lost. Pro retains unavailable folders, continues watching available locations, and resumes monitoring automatically when they return.

Both editions preserve ingest history so deleted items are not automatically imported again. Pro adds an explicit Re-ingest Missing Media… workflow for selected recovery. Lite does not include manual re-ingest.

Lite provides a compact status message beneath its controls. Pro adds Project Health with watched and unavailable folders, queued files, recent scans and imports, duplicate prevention, uptime, and Healthy, Attention, Error, or Idle states.

In Lite, confirm that watching is active, make sure the file is directly inside the selected folder rather than a subfolder, and allow time for the copy to finish. In Pro, also check the Live Import Queue, use Rescan New Files, and review Project Health.

No. Project InTake operates locally. It does not upload media or directly modify the Premiere Pro project file. Watched folders, monitoring state, ingest history, and related settings are stored in the plugin's private data.

Pro includes Help → Export Diagnostic Report and an Open Support Email action. Lite does not include advanced diagnostics, so include your Premiere Pro version, operating system, and reproduction steps when contacting projectintakeplugin@gmail.com.
