Share Premiere Pro Project Template with team

[Motoed-Work]

I know in a recent-ish update, we got the ability to create Project Templates that have a starter set of bins, media and sequences already loaded at the start of a new project.

If I have one saved to my Premiere, how do I share this with the rest of my team for them to use?

Hi @Motoed-Work,

Nice question. If I were organizing a workflow for your team, I'd place the .mogrts in a dedicated Library. More info here: https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/motion-graphics-templates.html. I hope the advice helps.

Thanks,
Kevin

I'm not talking about MOGRT templates though... I'm referring to how you can save your Premiere Project as a template that is available on the "new project" screen.

Have you managed to find a way to make this work? I'm currently trying to figure this out myself. I posted a comment to help boost this thread.

I'm currently looking to solve this same issue as well! I've saved a template within Premiere that's blank and just has bins, guides, etc. When I open the templates folder it shows that it's saved within my own computer assets. I tried copying over this Premiere project file to a NAS that others have access to but when they open the project file none of the bins, guides, fonts, etc. I had saved show up. It's just blank with nothing inside.

Would love to know if I'm missing a step or something becuase when I tested several templates they all worked. Each time I opened a new one it showed different folder structures, guides, etc. Only when copying it over and having someone else open it does it no longer show what I'm seeing.

I'm currently in the same boat trying to share this via a shared network drive location.

It's a shame that we can't customise the search directory to other locations over limiting it to local workstation.

I would hope your using Productions mode, and not old style stand alone projects?

If so, just add a Template project to the Productions.

[DeepBlueSea]

We don't use production in our pipeline as it's not long form or short form finishing.

It's mainly localisation of singular or multiple assets. Very short form.

We tried using productions to test but it wasn't a hit with the team. They preferred the single prem project setup.

So this is primarily asking for my benefit to be open for single premiere project template users and also to those for productions for flexibility.

[R Neil Haugen]

Hokay ... but note, I'm mostly a solo worker, doing smaller projects for several clients and testing and training purposes. No broadcast/streaming/long-form or episodic.

And Productions has been an amazing upgrade on my workflows. As ALL my broll, audio files libraries, graphics, template sequences, everything! ... is in the proper location in that Production.

And can be used on any project I'm working on just grab & drop.

You can't even come close to that speed with stand-alone projects.

So I have the same question. Since it doesn't seem there's a way built into the app to share a project template here's what I did. 

Situation:

Five editors working on three Mac Studios with experience levels ranging from student to veteran - Corporate environment, so we all have to have our own user and Adobe accounts on the Macs rather than just one account for each edit suite that everybody shares.

Solution (albeit not the most convenient, but the best I could come up with):

1. Create the template.

2. Locate the template file by starting a new project, go to template selection drop down menu and "select open template folder" at the bottom.

3. Once the template folder is open, double click on Macintosh HD (or whatever you call the system drive/users/your accout/Public

4. Copy/Paste the template file into your Public folder. 

5. Inform editors to add template from you Public folder the next time they need to create a new project. 

If working in a Windows world, you could save it to a thumb drive and pass it around to add from. Or if you have a central server, put the template there to add from.
