Tips for making PPR project presets…
Hey guys!
I’m sure eveyone tries to think of a way to accomplish a certain amount of work in less time.
I’ve always done video editing as a hobby and now that I started working as a video editor, I started to make time saving things like presets for titles, effects, etc… “time became money for me 🙂
Now I’m trying to think of something more and I wanted to ask if you editors out there have any time saving tips?
I save I full project, with all the markers in synq with the music, my bins, sequences etc… My idea was to just delete the source matiriel and when Adobe asks for the source files, just point to the new project file and have Adobe switch the clips.
The problem is that of course this would never come out correct and you’d spend lots of time fixig it.
Any tips?
Thanks! -

Zvi,
Unless you are doing only a certain type of videos, I don’t know saving any project is going to help. As you are just starting out to do for video editing as your work, don’t let pre-sets limit your creativity.
One big time saving thing you can do, however, is to organize your Media contents well for easy locating what you need. Renaming (especially audio), creating folders, subfolders and print out some fonts for quicker selection might help.Best wish.

Yes, I arranged folders and drives. I made one HDD for rendered stuff, one for source stuff etc…
I am doing lots of weddings, Bat\Bar Mitzvahs and events that all have the same pattern and that why I wanted presets. Also, I don’t get paid by the hour but by the project so even if I always a lot more then I need to (Like you said, I’m learning creativity), I still need tips to make things go faster.
Since most weddings can use the same music I choose, I already have an empty project with all the music set with markers at the beats and this is a big time saver.
