Smarter way to update a project regularly

Question

I have a "master" project which works as a template for my team, with a few sequences and shared assets on a shared server.

I update this template monthly, updating the destination folder for every sequence (6 destinations for 8 sequences). This process is quite time consuming and prone to error.

This project is then shared with 4 workstation, each of which has 3 different user profiles.

Is there a 'smarter' way to update this template? Can I, for example, copy the destinations, presets files folder from one workstation's profile to all the others?

I had a look at Productions but it seems to be more for collaborative projects, non sure it would fit this purpose.

Thanks!

I believe Productions could work for your needs. I've used it as a solo editor and in collaborative environments as well. We have a guide here written by one of our master trainers for best practices you can jump the chapters to: https://blog.frame.io/2024/09/30/ultimate-guide-to-premiere-pro-productions/

Productions is an amazing way to work in Premiere, even for a mostly one-person shop like mine.

ALL my projects are in one Production. And that is because it's so clear what I'm working on as Productions uses a folder-based process both inside Premeiere and matching physical folders on disc for 'housing' things, so the organization part is excellent.

And any assets stored in any project can be reused in any other project without duplication or other nasty things happening.

So all my sound libraries, b-roll, graphics, templated sequences or projects, everything!!! ... is available for use in any newly created project.

I organized my Production by client type, as we do both in-house and for-client projects, and within those folders, by client, and within those folders, per job.
