How to "Template" a Selection of Clips for Regular Use?

Hello,

I have imported a combination of video, audio and text clips in order to create an intro to use for my YouTube videos.

Since I want to consistently use this combination of clips together in new projects as my Intro how can I save them all of these clips (with the respective effects I added to them) and essentially make them all into a single template that I can just import into any new project in the future?

I am assuming this has to be possible otherwise I would be spending 30minutes every project getting these different clips into the right order and applying the effects I want. I am also hoping that upon importing the template I will be able to make edits to the clips, such as changing the text from Episode 1 to Episode 2 for example.

Apologies for I guess a newbie question but I'm still learning and have searched all over YouTube but there seems no straightforward solution.

Appreciate your time,

Sara

You could also create a Premiere Pro template file project with your intro sequence already created in it. Every time you start a new project, start with this Premiere Pro template project file, open it up, save as...in your new project location.

Then repeat for every project going forward.

That was the method 2 I previously listed, Gal.

You could select all your clips and title and right click to convert to motion graphic template.

1. Export as a Cineform YUV 10 bit file (under QuickTime format). Bring that new video file into all new projects.

2. Set up a new project with all the desired settings. Create the opening segment. Save that project as "Intro". When you begin a new project, start by opening the Intro project, and then immediately perform a Save As with the desired project name.

Thanks for the reply. I tried doing this, but when I import the exported intro file it's all merged into just 1 audio and video clip, I can't edit the text, I can't change anything individually like the opacity of 1 thing without changing the other etc. Surely there is a way to export a clip and be able to import it and then edit each of the clips freely?

Otherwise it's just a template I cannot make any changes to without ruining it
