Is there an extension or add-in for a tool that saves the exact cut ?

Let me explain:


I have a project that uses the same videos (exactly the same ones) over and over again.I would need a tool that memorizez the exact cut time in/out for the file.

Let's say I imported the file made the cut , finnish the project etc... tomorrow i make a different project and drag the same video in again but I have to cut it again.

This is what i need, an extension that memorizez the name of the file and when i drag it in a second time it will auto-cut it.

Thank you in advance !

    I don't want to hold the files on the computer, after a while a lot of them will accumulate.


    Subclips will only exist in a project not on the hard-drive.

    If I needed to do this, I would make a new project... call it Start-1 or a project name of your choice

    Import the video and make your standard cut(s) and save the project

    When you need whatever is in Start-1 you open that project and immediately Save As to a new project name and do your work

    Your original Start-1 project is there to use as another starting point

    John has an excellent suggestion. To Add something you could also Mark your in/outpoints in the Source monitor then right-click "make subclip".

    Rename your subclips, group them in bins according to common uses, and do as John says.

    Yes I understand, but there is a more complex issue.

    I'm making top musical videos, taking the videos from the internet cuting them to 10 second lenght and making a top 50 out of them for example. I'm going thru thousands of videos per week. This is why I would need something like this, to ease the process.

    What John is telling me would work on a small project but taking in consideration that there are a lot of musical videos out there its simply a much bigger scale.

    Can anyone do this script in Premiere ?
