Currently in order to add media from the MAM to PAM it has to be physically copied. Also, it is not possible to have 2 copies of the same asset in PAM.
If it was possible to create links to media with the ability to add those to PAM and to an NLE timeline from the Adobe Panel, time and storage space would be saved as well as having the convenience of being able to have multiple copies of media PAM without using any extra space.
This is current functionality in Projective Strawberry. Strawberry does this by creating symbolic links - “symlinks' - for files whenever they are “copied” into another project. This allows the same asset to be used many times while only taking up the space of a single asset. “Copying” an asset into a project is instant because there is no copying of physical media. When a link is deleted, only the symlink is deleted. Only when the final “copy” of the asset is deleted does the media get deleted.
