I would like to make 4 different films with the same beginning and ending, but i cannot find how to copy a project.

Is this possible, and if yes, how?

Thanks!

I have the same problem regarding the need to copy a project and duplicating the sequence doesn't help as its my edit of various sequences I need. I've spent hours editing a video where I have added subtitles. I also need a version without subtitles but didn't realise the software would be so limiting that I couldn't do a basic save as. So now if I delete the subtitles and export I imagine I will loose my subtitles which I want to keep as an alternative. Ludicrous! Very frustrating!

Go to home screen and click the three dots under the video you want to copy. Scroll to Duplicate and there you have it!

Adobe Rush is the worse program I have ever tried in my life.

I can't believe everytime i need to do somehting I find a new silly limitation...

it's really frustrating. Adobe is not what it was... since Flash guys you are falling appart.

Hi! Hopefully this helps others:

On the Home page, under the video you want to copy, press on the 3 dots ... (Project Options)  then click Duplicate. This is how we proceed to copy a project and change subtitles from English to French.

Hope this helps!

Hi Caroline and Mayjain, I think you have misunderstood the request.  Nobody here has asked how to copy a sequence within a video.  We are asking for the ability to save a copy or save as function so that we can create multiple versions of the same video.  Some will need English titles, some Spanish titles, use the same video branded for different events, brand for different partners etc.  Nobody is going to keep editing the same video to achieve these because we have options like KineMaster that allows us to create a copy of the video and rename it to a different version.

 

You have this across all other Adobe Cloud apps but not here.  Its just a Rush(ed) app to catch up with others, but you didnt focus on what makes those apps great - they were developed by people who use the app and they understood what the rest of us needed.

actually, this has been solved but not explained on how to use it.

 

You need to create sequences in rush or clips.  So if you want to create a standard intro and outro then you create a sequence for each.

1) go to file>new sequence - this will make all your work disappear but it is saved as a single sequence under assets

2) create a sequence which will be your intro, outro, whole video etc

3) click on assets and then look for sequence01.  You will find multiple of these and you simply rename this to intro, outro, french, english etc.

4) click on the (...) and you will have the option to duplicate.

 

Now im trying to work out how to import the sequence into a new video to save it as a different version of the video.

 

This is typical Adobe trying to over-complicate things.  They need to get the right users that the product is aimed at to get the usability right.  Potentially great app.

@ParjSangha, any luck on figuring out how to import a copied sequence into a new video?

The ability to duplicate a project to use as a template seems like a no brainer. I'm surprised this function doesn't exist. You can duplicate a sequence, as the answer shows, but not being able to create a new project with it is very annoying. I hope this gets added as a feature soon!

It's nuts that this functionality is missing. Duplicating a sequence is no where close to duplicating a project. I used Rush to create a 3-minute video with caption overlays and now I have to create a French version. I'm screwed.

I have to do the exact same thing so many times and its always a headache. 
I hope this is fixed soon!

Hi stefanburm​,

Thanks for trying out Premiere Rush and highlighting your doubt.

Copying(duplicating) a project is not possible in Premiere Rush currently.  However, the same purpose can be achieved by duplicating a sequence in project panel. Just open the project panel, click on ellipsis(...) on any sequence thumbnail and hit Duplicate to copy that sequence in the project panel.

You can also rename the (duplicated )sequences as you like and keep them intact while you continue editing on the original sequence.

I Hope this will help.

You can also submit feature requests for anything you would like to see in Rush here: https://adobe-video.uservoice.com/forums/916423-premiere-rush

Keep highlighting your doubts. !

We are continuously working to provide the best experience for our users.

Glad to help,

Mayjain

I too need to use the duplication for entire projects on a very regular basis. We need videos with different subtitles. Can you please update with this option?

I figured out a workaround if you are interested. Install Adobe Rush on another device (like an iPhone) and login with the same credentials as the primary device. Open your project on each device and make a small change on one device, like adding a title at the end. Close both verions of the project. When you open the project again you'll get a warning dialog that reads something like "Project Conflict. The version on the server will overwrite the version on your device. Do you want to save a copy of it first?". Go ahead and hit "Save copy" and you'll have two versions of the same project--one with the minor change you made that can easily be edited out. Hope this helps, it worked for me when I need to create a French version of an English video.
