Question

Is there a way to make all sequences on timeline templates to drag and drop into?

Sorry for what I presume is a weird question without using proper terminoligy...but as I stated I'm fairly new to Premier Pro. I'll eleaborate a bit more. So I just got done making a video for a product I have. I have many other products that are similar that I also need to make videos for. I want the videos to all be fairly similar. So is there a way to make all the different sequences in my video placeholders that I can just drag and drop other videos or sequences into and have them maintain their structure (length and position within the timeline)? I guess my first thought in helping to try and understand what I mean is canva (if you've ever used it before). You can find templates for different advertisements and then you just drag and drop your pictures into the pictures in the ad and it will replace it with yours and then you can edit it further from there. I want to do that but for video. Like I said, sorry for not knowing the right terms and what not, but I was looking to stream line this video making process instead of starting from scratch for each individual product I'm making a video for. Thanks for the help in advance!

You can create a project that has all the things you want in it, and then save that as a template. Then when you go to make a new project, you can base it on the template, and you can start from there.

BTW: In your first sentence you said: "but as I stated I'm fairly new to Premier Pro"

However, I didn't notice where you had stated that. 🙂

In my title I put [Newbie] but apparently it didn't get posted, because looking back at it...it's not there. Anyways, that's why I said "as I stated". It's because I thought I had already informed everyone, via my title, that I was a [Newbie] 😉

You can do that if you create a Mogrt:

Yea I ran into Mogrt's when trying to research this on my own...and it seemed like what I'm talking about and then it said you had to use After Effects to make them and I started to question whether it was exactly what I was looking for. But it seems like it may. I'll look into it further, thank you.

You can create mogrts in PP also.

(Thanks for that info) 🙂

One simple thing you could do is create a separate copy of your project for each product. You can replace media items in your project panel by right-clicking on them and clicking on the context menu on "Replace Footage...". That way, you can replace the image or video of product A by an image or video of product B and all sequences using it will update instantly and use the new pproduct image or video.

If you want to go one step further, you can automate the process using spreadsheets and my (paid) extension Automation Blocks for Premiere Pro.
This section of the documentation gets you started with the different kinds of tempate workflows supported by Automation Blocks: https://docs.mamoworld.com/automation-blocks/tools-pr/templateTools

Here is an example:
