Few question about - is this thing possible?

1.To open a directory and somehow start a new premiere project from this directory -> which will result in start premiere + new project + all video files from this directory will be in automaticaly loaded in the project.

2.To have some clips saved as preset or something? To be able to instantly put / paste in the sequence from menu or the best shortcut a repeatable clip? E.g. we use one clip almost all the time across multiple projects... It would be nice to paste him instantly in every new project without the need to import and place in sequence.

3.Is there a way to loop nicely audio? I mean... We have a music. But the music almost always have repeatable moments, like refrain. And the thing is, to cut it in the right places and copy paste the right way to have music for variable length of minutes and the watcher can't say that it is cut and when the cuts occur. Original audio is 2 minutes but in production is 10 minutes... and seems to be not cut . Maybe plugin or something? But I think you get the idea.

4.Do something like... always when on audio track 1 is playing -> audio track 2 is 20 dB quieter. When audio track 1 is loud -> audio track 2 is getting quiet. When audio track 1 is getting quiet then audio track 2 is getting loud. It would be even nicer with nice audio transitions. What about this?

Thank you guys .

1 + 2.) I might be missing a more intuitive and fancier solution, but would creating a project template be suitable? Create a Premiere project, set it up with all of the elements you want. You can go as simple as just loading items into your bin, or edit some sequences. Then save your project, and write-protect the project file (on Windows: find the project file, right-click, properties, check read-only).


Then you can either open that project file at the start (which will open up Premiere and load your project and elements), and you can Save As for a new project save. Or you can take an existing project and File > Import the other project which will load those elements in for you.

3.) Absolutely, you don't even need a plug-in for it. Before the music track ends, find a way to take an earlier, similar sounding part of the track and tack it on the end. Nudge the clip left-right to make it so you match the beats up, and then you can use a simple cross-fade to soften the edge so to speak. Fiddle around with it, plus, time the loop point to go under other sound or dialogue to help disguise the loop even more.

4.) I'm admittedly not up on the "newest and latest" Premiere features, but I thought something like this was being introduced in a new update that just happened or was going to happen soon. Honestly, I just edit it manually (as most editors likely do), by either using the pen tool, or blading, lowering volumes of each track, and using cross-fades.

EDIT: The new feature exists now, and it's called auto-ducking. I haven't used it myself before, but it's exactly what you're speaking of.

The point of 3) was to not do the thing you described . I do it all the time and it's a waste of time.

The point was to have plugin or something for this, to automate this thing. But it's my bad, I didn't tell the right way at first.

1 and 2 seems nice, but I think it could be more automated and better. Especially because e.g. outro.

I have 3 outros. And I don't wanna all of them in project where I will use only one.

Shortcut for this would be better. like numpad 0 - adds outro number 1 to the project and to the timeline.

4)hmmm... it's ducking. I meant... Not "B" gets louder when "A" is quiet but "B" gets louder when "A" is not present. Let's say - Audio Track 1 is present and  Audio Track 2 gets to -30dB, then 1 is missing and 2 gets again to 0 dB. And for the best with transitions, to not just jump like in IT diginal signal 0 / 1.
