CS6 – Actions and/or Saving Filter Settings
I’ve never accidentally come across any Actions in Premiere (a la Photoshop), but I thought I’d at least make an attempt to ask in case I’ve been missing it all these years.
At the end of all of my clips I make post-credit rolls which I can use on YouTube to highlight other videos. These require scale/position/etc for multiple videos every time, with only a couple of different variants. If I could just create an action that quickly put the video in the correct location at the correct size it would save me a tremendous amount of time in the long run. Even if I could just save the effect settings under multiple versions of “Motion” that would be plenty good.
Any ideas? 🙂

I would save this template with placeholder video as its own project for you to import into your working project. From there you can load your real footage in the source monitor and then in the timeline right click and select Replace Clip > From source monitor.
This is one of those things that works super well as a template.

That’s a darn good idea. Thanks so much!

Just set up the motion/scale effect the way you want it and right-click on “motion” in the Effect Controls panel, and save the preset…”credit-right side center” a separate one for “…left side center” or whatever.
They should then be in your “presets” folder in the effects panel for later use.

Ah, I knew there must be something like this! This is great as well.
Both of the suggestions have their benefits, but I think this is one of those things I’ll start using all the time. Thanks so much.

You can also control/command highlight multiple effects and save them all off as a single preset.

Ah, that makes it even better. Great stuff.
