The best way is to log and capture individual scenes to begin with, adding
appropriate clip names at that time.
When the footage has already been captured and split up like you describe, you
have at least a couple options. If starting a new project you could simply
rename that first existing project, keeping
everything that has already been done. If the newer project has already been
started you try Import>PremierePro project. That gives you the option of
importing an entire project or only a selected
sequence and its needed clips.
Additionally, instead of cutting up a long clip on a timeline, you could
instead cut it up in the source viewer window. After choosing each new
section's in point and out point, right click and choose
"Make subclip." Note that this method does not create new files on your hard
drive. These new subclips appear in the project panel and can then be copied
and pasted individually or as a group into a
different project.
So one big gotcha can be that if you delete the original project from your hard
drives then those imported media files are no longer available for subsequent
projects. That's why capturing them
separately to begin with and moving them to the appropriate project folders is
a little less to worry about later. Now that storage space isn't quite the
expensive matter it used to be, I just copy
any imported file into each project's folder to be sure it is easily found 3
years later when the client asks for that inevitable revision.
