The Cosmo panel offers some very useful functionality. It is possible to browse and look into other projects (depending on your group permissions). This can facilitate collaboration, as one can preview an asset in the Adobe Source Monitor.
If the asset is needed, the user can import it via the 'Import' button. This prevents the need to start an autoimport profile; the asset will simply be linked into the current project, and the Cosmo database will recognize that this specific asset is now used in another project (unique status).
If there is a need to trigger an additional stream, the PANEL_IMPORT profile can be used for this task.
Dragging the asset from the source monitor will initiate the autoimport action, as this behaves like a file import.
The Adobe Source Monitor can be used as a video player; for example, a video file from the desktop can be dragged into it but won't be imported into the project at all.
It is possible to import a bin with it's content. There are two options in place:
Import bin
This will import everything within the bin
Import bin skip sequences
This will import everything except sequences and compositions
Importing a sequence or composition will always trigger the autoimport profile, as it utilizes a native import method within Premiere Pro that cannot be modified.
It is possible to add assets from your current project to another. Simply open the dedicated target project in the Cosmo panel, select the asset(s), and drag them into the project view. A darker frame will be displayed at the top and bottom of the project.
These elements will be synced into the project in real-time (if anyone is currently working with it) or the next time someone opens it up.
The sync icon in the top right of the extension will indicate a pending sync - any element added to another project via the Cosmo panel will not be synced automatically.
When sharing a sequence or composition, bear in mind that these will be a copy of the current state and won't be updated.
Please make sure to save your current project before dragging it into another project to transfer the most recent version of your timeline.
Please pay attention to the limitation when using the panel - further information see: Helmut4 Panel
