Workflow question: Efficiently create 20-min lessons from one long video [Context: online course]

[SSP]

Background

- I am following best practices by splitting my online course into lessons of no more than 20 minutes.

- The video recordings from each of my 12 course modules is up to 45 minutes long

- I have already edited / cleaned the video and audio using Premiere Pro and Audition integration (very nice!)

My current workflow

- Upload the entire edited video from PPro to Rush

- Add Titles, Photos, Transitions etc to the entire video in Rush

- Duplicate the project multiple times in Rush to "cut" the video into 20-min sections

Questions

- Is this really the most efficient way to "chunk down" my course into 20-min lessons?

- If I chunk down in PPro, creating duplicate project files would create a ton more files, right? At least with Rush the program doesn't create tons and tons of project files.

Just wanted to get some ideas from the hive mind in this community. Thanks in advance

May I ask firstly why you are moving the entire course to Rush to do the Titles, Photos, Transitions etc

and not just doing it in PPro?

[Ann Bens]

Guessing Rush is used as it has a lot of fancy stuff build in (such as pan and zoom).

I use Rush because I just need something simple where I can quickly add pictures, animations and titles which are already built in. That is far too time consuming and overly complex in PPro which is massively too complex and bloated for an online course creator like me.

I think then that what you need is to use Premiere Pro Productions.

Snippet from there: "Assets can be shared between projects within a Production, without creating duplicate files"

This answers your query:

"If I chunk down in PPro, creating duplicate project files would create a ton more files, right?"

If you digest info better by video then take alook at Colin Smiths introduction:
