How do I save razor Clips to use in another project?! Frustrated

I have searched for days. Behind on a project. Briefly used premiere last year and have been doing tutorials. I am trying to create a sport highlight which needed to be done yesterday. I have gone through HOURS of footage, trimmed, and cut.

Very basic stuff.

I simply now want to use clips I created in the highlight. Am I supposed to save them somewhere? I have tried bins (this simply brings my entire sequence over in large clips not the smaller clips) . I have searched this community for days and am Frustrated. Copy and paste doesn't work.

 

What am I missing? 

 

Please assists

Try Render and Replace.

Understand Premiere works as metadata ... it doesn't do anything to the files on disk. So your 'cuts' are just a bit of project file metadata saying "take X clip from file path Q, from clip timecode Y to Z" ... not any actual physical media.

 

If you render & replace, as Ann suggested, you can actually get physical media on disc. Then copy those to wherever you want to put them, and you can reuse at will.

Yes, I vaguely got that concept, but thought I could still use them somehow as everything is in acloud software. was just looking in premiere help to figure out how to render and replace. If you have a direct link it would be much appreciated . Render and replace media in Premiere Pro (adobe.com) is what I found ,

 

On that note, do you think rush has less of a learning curve?

Rush is a lower learning curve because it's far more limited. But if it can do what you need, then, why not use it? But that's the question, can it do what you need?

 

With clips on a sequence in the Timeline panel, select one or more, right-click, Render & Replace. Select a good "intermediate" codec for your needs. For a lot of pro use, an intraframe like ProRes422 or 'higher' is needed, but you might only need a decent level of H.264.

 

H.264 is far more compressed, and at lower levels, can loose a lot of data in a hurry. But a higher level (less compressed) set of options can make a couple generations ok for the most part. And is smaller on disc than ProRes, Cineform, or DNx.

      Do you mean you want to copy-paste cut clip parts from one project sequence to another project sequence or something else? Can you share a screenshot?

      i have the screenshots of both projects. I haven't actually done anything in the new project. There are clips on the timeline that I am trying to use. I created a bin (dragged and dropped clips) called highlights within the project. I thought perhaps I could import that bin to the new project. When I imported the bin, the "clips" were essentially the entire sequence (idk if that makes sense). There was no start and stop points.

       

      And again apologies if terminology isn't the best. I've been paying for adobe for a few months but haven't had time to use and can't rly afford it so I am trying my best to catch up asap so I can cancel it. I am reading and watching a lot of stuff
