Premiere should fix the projectmanager. It doesn't work with proxies (if you have a projact with proxies.... simply forget about management, it will make a mess and mis files and also copy unwanted files) . And why can't it just preserve the folder structure of the original project? Should be a relative easy fix for adobe. Sometimes we need some material from archived projects for a new project. I don't need the entire project so what I do is make a new timeline with the shots we need. Then use project manager to make a new project with just that timeline (we back entire project up for clients, in 3 locations). For years now the project manager messes this up (fcp 7 could do this with ease years and years ago). Do now I have to detach all proxies and then use the manager. It puts everything in one folder. I just cannot grasp why this has to be this way. Also: why cant i just export all shots from a timeline as individual clips with lets say handles with 3 seconds?
Nicely edited! Great 1080p lighting nd quality, zoom ins to text and menus thank goodness. Realy helpful after 30 years of editing (More than 50 if you include film!)
I have an Urgent Question! 🙋♀This is extremely helpful, thank you! I am currently working with a remote assistant editor and I have set them up with the same assets organized the same way on our main drives folder structure for connecting files to the premiere project on their computer and as well on mine. My question is can I just import their timelines/sequences into the project without importing the folders for footage and audio, as I have the same structure and folder system on my main hard drive for reconnecting the original media, or do I have to have their project bins for footage and audio in my project if I am just needing their timelines? Thank you in advance for your advice on this.
You mentioned get rid of used media from existing projects even if you intended or might want to use b-roll and other assets that you planned on considering for future use. I have that situation on a project or two, should I hold onto future use b-roll to avoid having to gather it later? I fear it could become orphaned and forgotten when it might be of value to the project in a future.
He didn't explicitly say that, and I'm sure he didn't mean that, it just remained a bit unclear. When he said "If this is a project that you need to clean up...", I believe he meant "If you are sure you won't need those assets any more." Personal advise - don't delete anything you might need in the future even if there is very little chance you will. Media doesn't take extra space on your hard drive just because it's imported into Premiere. The best thing you can do is create a new folder inside Premiere that you will name 'Unused' or something, and put everything you don't need right now inside.
very helpful. I have one question I want to place my logo on all the projects, what i can do to make changes in all the projects instead of doing it one by one ?
just found your channel, ( been making the switch from 20 years of final cut pro to Premiere .. ( not been easy. it feels like learning a new alien language,) but but your videos are very helpful for beginners. but found a video you did working with sub sequences.... which is cool, lots of videos on sub sequences and nesting... of how to set them up, and why each has its different. use..... but i cant find how if i alter the edit with-in the sequence, it doesn't change, the master file ? what am i doing wrong or missing ? ( im learning this to edit someone who passed away before finishing the project, so im, picking up on their work to finish a feature film edit., )
@@VideoRevealed thanks that helps, the only work around i can find isn't necessarily hard, just copying any paste over to the master timeline. since i'm guessing i'm working with sub-sequences. thanks ! Cheers !
Great video. I have a project spread out over several external hard drives. If I import a project from one hard drive onto where the main project file resides do I have to have both hard drives plugged into my Mac when I work on the project in the future? Thanks
Great presentation as usual. Colin, I have separate intros and outros that I reuse for projects that my wife creates. I creates a video every week. How to I save and manage those intros/outros to simply import them into future projects/ Mogrts??? Can you do a video on how to manage that?
Can't tell you how Colin does it, but for me, I have one ending I use in all my videos, it's the if you like this video..., it's a VO with ready made thumbs up, subscribe and bell, all stock graphics and most came with a blue background that when I redid the clip, I keyed out the blue and substituted white in instead of black so the blue background was removed entirely and that was done last week before the current video was uploaded and it's then a project all its own, exported and saved in a video elements folder to go to, to pull the ending and just drop it into the clip bin in every project I'm later working on. It's done and ready to go. Same with Mogrts etc. I just have a folder for all those types of elements and will pull them in as needed for a project as a standard import for the new project.
If those in/outside never change (content wise) I would just render its video and use that as a clip element in future timelines. Saves the heavy lifting of Premiere to cache that element every time it's used. Just remember to render it with the alpha channel (quicktime+) so you can layer it over your new video.
I have a Project with my opening animation, music, graphics, credits, etc. I start by creating a new Project then import my "template" Project into it and that's how I reuse my show stuff.
Cool. I imagine this would be very helpful for cleaning up a complex videos even more. Like working on a movie, story vlog, or music video that has different specific scenes.
I would like to know how to combine projects - But when one project source say video a, I would like it to change in the combined project. Thanks for this video.
Hi Colin, I am a big fan of you and almost watching every video you make, so big thanks for your effort but I have a question I didn't find an answer in any other places question is: We know that when we save a premiere project (as Prproj file) we save only the project without the media it includes, but I want to ask, is there any way to merge those media files inside the project to the project file itself? meaning can we save a premiere project file with media included without and open it later with no issues without having those media files in our PCs? I don't know if I was clear in my question, but in brief, I want to save a premiere project without needing to media files included in my pc to run this project if I send the project file only to a client, so he can open the project file, and can check the project without having the media files I used in this project.
No, saving media inside the Project is impossible. Way too many things could go wrong doing that. Right now, if one clip gets corrupted, then you still have everything else. Or if the Project is damaged, you still have your media. Plus, the saved file could be several hundred GBs or more in size. Lastly, video formats have licensing restrictions so in many cases, Adobe would either not be able to save or have to pay licensing fees for that. Yes it would be nice to have a single file but it's not worth the issues it would cause.
@@VideoRevealed Thanks for your reply, and yup, you're right and I think this is a pack of issues if it was available, but a friend of mine asked me about it, and his question made me curious And to me you are the most qualified person that I trust in Adobe premiere pro
Hello, first of all you are definitely one of the best on TH-cam without a doubt, I have a question and I would be happy if you could help me... Before I export a file in Premiere I mark my borders that I want to be in the clip, with A and with O... and when I click on export The timeline is different there and doesn't match what I did before, then I have to manually drag the timeline to both sides so that it is a stamp like I wanted to export, how do I handle the problem? Thanks in advance
If you delete the project in this scenario, will the imported projects be harmed in any way? Sorry, I'm just not fully comfortable with this software yet and am trying to avoid disaster. Thanks for the info!
A great habit to get into is to always, always backup. Projects are relatively small so make sure you have copies so even if you do make a mistake, you're covered. When you combine (Import) a Project into another Project, the old Project is untouched. You're actually copying everything into that new Project so you're safe.
Productions are best for sharing with others where many people are using and editing multiple Projects at the same time. This is just for brining in assets from another Project.
Just subscribed, I just finished sorting 12 days of footage - each day has its own project file. Making those 12 days into 5 episodes... started a new proj for ep1... I figured I'd just have 2 project files open at all times and copy/paste the trimmed footage into my ep1 project. When I do, it copies over the bin containing each clip. I dont want to be left with hundreds of bins. Is there a way to delegate which bin the pasted clip will enter?
There is no way to set a specific Bin for paste operations. I think you should be making this into a Production: th-cam.com/video/tFfPTUfZsZ8/w-d-xo.html
SIR, i have an off topic question, maybe you know some way how to do it. How do we track our work time spent inside Premiere? Is there a counter or something? Thx :) I wanna know how much time I lost until the job is finished.
@@VideoRevealed I wanna install as less apps possible, I thot Premiere has something to count time but.. :) Thx for the answer. Great video as the rest of them. I'll just use the stopwatch on the phone then.
Thanks for the information I am also new youtuber struggling to grow here. So I work on Adobe premiere Pro for videos editing. I have recently uploaded a video for which I really in need of one clip from my previous project. I was stuck.
Been a couple years since me using Premier, and back then if I imported someone's timeline into my project then they deleted media from their timeline I would have a blank hole in that imported timeline. We reported that issue to Adobe but I wasn't around to see their resolution. Has Adobe fixed that issue?
