Premiere "Set Project"Open for Voting

In the 3D World, there's this concept of "Set Project" or setting the project and I would love to see this feature added to Premiere!At any given time we are working on 8-12 different projects that get split among our editors. We have shifted to using Productions for most of our work, so this has helped some, but I still would love to be able to click File/Set Project so that whichever project I am working on at the time links correctly to all of the media, assets, and shared cache paths. This concept may seem unecessary for most people, but it's a nightmare for someone that has to pop into different projects located on different servers. We have moved a lot of projects, or even recently we changed where some of our assets live within our folder structure, and everytime I open a project I need to relink files.  If I cold open Premiere and previously I was in Production A, but I clicked on a file to open Production B, it will open Premiere, then open Production A, then attempt to bring Production B file into Production A. "Set Project" Would fix this, and solve a few other problems that would be extremely beneficial. When I go to archive a project, or clean it out, I find things from other productions (usually cache files and auto saves) that will pop in one production when they should be in another production, Kind of similar, the locate offline media, is a pain when a project has been moved from one server to another. I do like that you only need to link one video file and all of the sibling video files will auto locate, but then I need to go into so many other folders to link one file so it can pick up the rest in that same folder. Again, if there was a "Set Project" I'm just setting the local or relative path of the project, so it knows where all of my assets should be./ServerA/ProjectOne/VIDEO - if moved to /ServerB/ProjectOne/VIDEO - then 'set project' the only thing that has changed is which server the project lives on Why do i need to go into every path to find/relocate my files, if all of my projects are structured pretty much the same, ASSETS, AUDIO, VIDEO, EXPORTS, etc....if those are all common...then it should be be easy to change the server location on all paths in the project/ServerC/myContent/Project417/subProject8/ASSETS/MoGRTs/bugs/xy_ab_pointyThings_V04_jm_mt.mogrt(Very real path with redacted names) by setting the project path, this should eliminate having to do this for hundreds of 'offline' files within a project. then I might be left with one or two true files that cannot be found, or were linked to someones desktop instead of the server location. I spent a couple hours the other day looking at numerous projects that I had to open, relink 300 files just to see if this was the correct project or not. (projects from years ago- we know what to look for in the timeline, but finding the correct project with the correct timeline is the key). Set Project would have changed this 4 hour task into maybe 30 minutes or less I would love to see this in a future release.Does anyone else think they could benefit from something like this?

Use a marker to select In and Out on the sequence or clip - a feature request?Open for Voting

Hi all, Either I have found a missing feature, and/or i'm missing an option that lets 'you' select for 'marker based editing'. Let me clarrify: I've let premiere transcribe multiple interviews (great!, also unrelated), than while having the usefull qoutes selected in the text (this step conveniently and very related: also creates an In and Out point on the time line simultaniously). Next I make a marker (shortcut M). Next I label the marker + add optional info to the marker etc. I was unaware there's Premiere Pro doesn't allow for the marker to have additional workflow function, which to me seems crazy (knowing premiere workflows I was baffeled it isn't there - so still hoping I'm wrong and missing a switch somewhere (!!!)). Sure it's my mistake, because I've had an oversight in my desired workflow (this worked while testing, because the initial selection was still active and I not moved back to multiple markers to test). So the next step is where my workflow fails and a possible feature request begins: So what I would like to achieve next is: select the In and Out of any or multiple marker(s) and past this/these in a new timeline (basicly marker based editing?). This would also be fixed if selecting the marker would automatically do the In and Out selection (the text panel does, as described above). While leaving it at a single marker selection, getting the marker to select the (same) In and Out point by selecting the marker, would allow for copy-pasting a single selection and resolve this, allowing for my desired workflow. This would allow for marker based selection / editing. The workaround for now is to have snapping active for the sequence, move the timeline-playhead to beginning of the marker (select In) move the timeline-playhead to the end of the marker (select Out) and than copy-paste. So I'm good for now, but it would be priceless to have the marker selected, making it copy-paste-able. Again I wouldn't be shocked if it is possible already, cause I was under the impression impression one would be able to furthwer utilize the marker information within Premiere. Couldn't find this in any other post, but imagine I'm not the only one noticing its abscense. Have a nice day! Best, Jeroen
