Question

Hi there,

 

I work on projects that are very similar and it would save lots of  time to be able to save any animations or titles with special effects for use in future projects which are easily acessible. 

 

I've been trying to export the copy of a project to a specific folder however this isn't always saving everything and makes the folder extremelly cluttered.

 

How am I best to to save a template for this animations so they can be accessed easily later on and edited.

 

Many thanks

    If you're working in standard Premiere single-project mode, you can make a "templates" project, open it along with the current one, and save things to that project ... sequences with things on them, that sort of thing.

     

    Then later, open that project, copy/paste the templated item into your current project, CLOSE the template project ... so you don't get a mess between projects.

     

    Or ... if in Productions mode, as I've gone to for the entire year's work in my one-man shop, you simply have projects in subfolders of the Production for B-roll, audio library assets, templated items and such. And grab them as needed, without worrying about cross-project messups.

    Everyone's mileage always varies ...

      Ok great, I've made a production but when I open any of the projects all of the media is missing. Do I need to move everything for that project somewhere? Thanks so much

      Productions mode is confusing at first ... I do suggest thoroughly reading their docs on this:

       

      Premiere Pro Productions Introduction

      Using Productions in Premiere Pro

      Adobe Long-form and Episodic Best Practices Guide 


      Jarle’s blog expansion of the pdf Multicam section: Premiere Pro Multicam

       

      You create the Production, then create subfolders to organize the production. Then in the subfolders, create projects to 'house' assets, such as media, or sequences, or whatever, as you would normally use bins.

       

      And you can have multiple projects open in the Productions panel, go to one, copy something or say drag/drop to a sequence in another project.
