How to import footage including file structure

There are multiple ways of importing files into Adobe Premiere Pro. You can use the "Import" tab at the top, click the keyboard shortcut "Cmd + I" or you can simply drag and drop a folder or file into the "Project window".
But there is a problem here.

If you want to import a folder structure where some folders might be empty or only contain single files, it will only import the actual files but not always the folders. Unless there are at least 2 files in that folder.

Therefore, if you want to import a folder structure, just take a screenshot (or any other file) and then copy and paste that file twice into each folder.
Then, you import the "parent folder" into Premiere Pro, and then you simply go into each sub-folder and delete the files you added.

That way you've imported the folder structure into Premiere Pro.

this is seriously a ridiculous work around to something that adobe should bloody fix. Good effort, I feel your subconscious pain.

This will ONLY work if you have a particular setting ENABLED in your Premiere preferences. You need to go to preferences > media > Allow duplicate media during import and make sure it's checked. Otherwise, it will NOT import the duplicate files you put into the folders, and thus won't create those subfolders.

My premiere pro has always imported folder structure as is until today and this is the biggest let down Adobe.
