no clear idea from my side where to have it in UI placed,

but in general I see 2 possible solutions for this:
- blocking one - have small modal window in front (maybe with cancel/stop button existing) => progressbar displayed & no UI updates possible in the meantime or
- non blocking one - some status-bar progress bar only, but for this I'd propose to have task running in separate thread => UI is responsive, would be more for a notification purposes 

in fact I probably would preffer for daily usage the second option, in
case someone imports huge number of vids, he/she might would like to
continue in other work meanwhile.

also to mention, would be fine to have somewhere near the progressbar
task beeing executed described => it's clear what task the progress bar
is indicating progress of.

that's it from my side, feel free to comment on these ideas

Whenever I import many videos to project, UI is non responsive till import finishes. From my point of view some indicator/progressbar should be displayed that would present progress of import process in a nice way.
