Copy it, that's all
Copy as usual — the panel watches the folder itself.
A file manager right inside Premiere Pro. Its main strength is smart syncing: a Windows folder is linked to a Premiere Pro bin, and everything new in it lands in the project on its own. A pile of clips, lav recordings, music and sequences flies into 10 colored bins with one click, and after a render the finished file opens.
During the trial the app tells us whether the plugin was launched — just that and the day.
Order
Every file type into its own bin, in its own color.
Mixed folders
Not by extension: a shoot folder stays whole, the path is kept.
“Project 1 / Day 1” — video, a lav recording and photos, straight off the card.
“Project 1” moves into Video whole — the shoot structure stays.
The lav recording goes to Sound, the photo to Photo, same path.
Sync
Connect the folder once — everything copied into it lands in its bin by itself.
Copy as usual — the panel watches the folder itself.
“+ Add Folder” — a bin with the same name appears in the project root.
Still being written — “queued”. Done in 3–4 seconds.
A finished file lands in the bin. Unplug the drive — the row waits and reconnects.
On its own
Two checkboxes, each with its own minutes.
New files land in Incoming first, ready for the timeline. After the set minutes they move to their own bin.
A file in the root, a new sequence, Black Video or an Adjustment Layer wait, then move to their category.
How it works
Bin colors, the intake filter, the folder after render.
Categories and color
Click a category for Premiere's 16-label palette. The “Color Files Too” checkbox colors contents too.
Video, sound and graphics stand out at a glance
Import
Video, audio and images right away, the rest by checkbox.
A stray .prproj won't drag in someone else's links
After render
Turn on “Open Folder with Finished File” — Explorer opens with the file selected.
No hunting for where the export went

Questions
No. Binder sorts bins in the Premiere project; files on disk stay where they were.
With “↩ Undo Sort” right after sorting: everything goes back to the root and the empty bins are removed. Any action in the project after the sort disables the button.
No. New items go into the bins that already exist. If there is nothing to sort, the panel says so.
Video, Sound, Photo, Sequences, Nested Sequences, Graphics, Utility, Dynamic Links, Offline Media and Other. The names are English in any panel language — that's how a repeat sort finds its bins.
As many as you like. Each has its own bin and its own “queued” and “imported” counters.
The folder row waits for the drive and reconnects by itself when it's back.
Three days from the first press of “Try” in the panel. No key needed, everything works. The trial is once per computer.
Premiere Pro 24.0 and later. Tested on 25.5.
No Mac version yet. It’s coming soon.
The “?” button in the panel header: “Report a Problem” sends an email together with the panel log. Version history and support are there too.
Sometimes: on first launch, after a panel update and once a week — the panel confirms the key with the site by itself. The rest of the time it works offline.
Yes. A key works on one computer; enter it on the new one and it moves there by itself, while the old one stops opening the panel. Up to three moves in 30 days; more often — through support.
