https://youtu.be/nBhRxToHrBo?si=FH4AIVUyaIGZbFaZ

i want to know how they’re doing the photoshop to premiere pro workflow the thing is they create 50 too 70 questions in a video and first they make it in photoshop more like a template then they import every emojis that will required for quiz like 100 emojis in photoshop and then bring it in premiere and animate everything so we do know that if we bring photoshop project file in premiere and use it agiain to change something like change the questions it will also change that in previous variant in timeline so by looking at the video that i provided, i know the video is more like a sneak peak.

    Hi, you've identified the key point yourself — one PSD is one linked source, so if you reuse the same imported PSD for the next question and then edit that PSD, Premiere will update every place that PSD is used.

     

    The workflow for 50–70 questions is usually:

     

    1. Build one master template in Photoshop, with the background, question text and answer/emoji placeholders on separate layers.

    2. For each question, open the template, change the text/emojis, and Save As a new file — Question01.psd, Question02.psd, and so on. Don't overwrite the template, and don't reuse one PSD file for two questions.

    3. Import each PSD into Premiere separately. In the Import Layered File dialog, choose Sequence (with Document Size), so each layer becomes a clip in its own sequence, in place. You can then animate that sequence independently and place the sequences in order on your main timeline.

    4. Assets that never change, like a common background or emoji set, can be imported once and reused — it's only the question-specific PSD that needs its own file per question.

     

    Duplicating a sequence in Premiere alone isn't enough if you later edit the PSD, because the duplicate still points to the same PSD file.

     

    Adobe's guide to the import options is here: https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere/desktop/organize-media/import-files/import-photoshop-and-illustrator-files.html

     

    Hope that helps!
