Why we like it

AutoSortBinsPro earns its place in the aescripts library as a focused bin-organization panel for Premiere Pro editors who'd rather not drag and rename items by hand. Its mix of on-demand and background sorting, undo, and an exportable report makes it a practical fit for keeping projects consistent across a team.

What is AutoSortBinsPro?

AutoSortBinsPro is a CEP panel for Adobe Premiere Pro that automatically sorts and organizes imported project items into bins, keeping projects clean, consistent, and faster to navigate. It sorts items into a fixed set of categories: Video, Audio, SFX, Music, GFX, Mogrt, Proxies, Nested Sequences, and Other.

You can trigger a full project sort in one click with Sort now, or switch on Auto-sort to sort periodically after imports at a custom interval you define. Undo last sort restores previous item locations, and Export report saves a sort report as a .txt file for handoff and audit. Licensing is handled inside the panel, where you can activate or release a workstation directly from the UI.

Installation runs through the aescripts + aeplugins Manager, after which the panel opens via Window > Extensions (Legacy) > AutoSortBinsPPRO. It supports Premiere Pro from 2020 through 2026, and a demo video is available.

Who is AutoSortBinsPro best for?

AutoSortBinsPro is best for premiere Pro editors who want fast project hygiene without manual dragging and renaming, and teams that need projects kept consistent.

How much does AutoSortBinsPro cost?

AutoSortBinsPro is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does AutoSortBinsPro work with Premiere Pro 2026?

AutoSortBinsPro lists compatibility with Premiere Pro 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020, so recent releases are covered alongside several older versions. It runs as a CEP panel, opened through Window > Extensions (Legacy) > AutoSortBinsPPRO. If you're on a version within that range, the panel should be available. For any release outside the listed versions, check the developer's page before installing to confirm support.

How do I install AutoSortBinsPro?

AutoSortBinsPro installs through the aescripts + aeplugins Manager. Once installed, open the panel in Premiere Pro via Window > Extensions (Legacy) > AutoSortBinsPPRO, then activate your license key directly in the panel. Activation and release are handled from the UI, so you can move the tool between workstations without leaving Premiere Pro. The panel then sorts imported project items into bins on demand or automatically.

What bins does AutoSortBinsPro sort items into?

AutoSortBinsPro sorts imported project items into a fixed set of bins: Video, Audio, SFX, Music, GFX, Mogrt, Proxies, Nested Sequences, and Other. You can run a full project sort with one click using Sort now, or enable Auto-sort to sort periodically after imports at a custom interval you set. Undo last sort restores previous item locations if you want to revert, and Export report saves a sort report as a .txt file.

Can I undo a sort with AutoSortBinsPro?

AutoSortBinsPro includes an Undo last sort option that restores items to their previous locations, which supports safe experimentation. It also generates a sort report you can export as a .txt file for handoff and audit. Between one-click sorting, background auto-sort, undo, and the exportable report, the panel gives you a way to reorganize a project and step back if the result isn't what you wanted.

Is AutoSortBinsPro free?

AutoSortBinsPro is listed as free in this catalog. Activation is handled through a license key entered directly in the panel, and you can activate or release a workstation from the UI. Because licensing terms can change, check the developer's page for the current details before you rely on it. The panel's core function is sorting imported project items into production-ready bins in Premiere Pro.
