Automate Nested - Split Screen

Question

Hello everyone!How are you? I am writing to ask for your help.I am working on different personal projects in Premiere Pro.In some of these videos I use the split screen. As attached in the image. To make this split screen, I defined 2 nested, one with the videos on the left and another nested with the videos on the right. Each nest has its properties (Motion and Mask). Inside the Nests I place the videos. When I have to make another split screen segment, I duplicate both Nests, copy and paste the properties and then in each nest I change or add new videos.It is actually a simple job, but it takes time.What part could I automate based on your knowledge, or do you think there is a faster way every time I create a split screen segment?I look forward to your comments.Thank you very much.Javier.-

To speed things up, you can create a separate project with everything laid out as you need it.

This will include:

Nested Sequence (Left)
Nested Sequence (Right)
Main sequence, with nested sequences added, effects applied to the nests, and graphics

Delete all footage from this project (you'll add this later) and name it Split Screen Template.

Now, whenever you need to create a new Split Screen sequence, import this project into your current project. This will create a self-contained sequence where the nests and effects have already been added—then you can just add your footage and edit it.
