Simplifying project without duplicating media or importing into new project
Hey everyone,
I’m working on a massive project with a lot of media and I’m trying to find an elegant (or at least functional) way of sharing sequences between multiple editors.
The most suggested way is to import one project into another and then just choose the sequences that are needed. Makes sense, except our projects are so large that it takes a VERY long time for Premiere just to open the dialog box when a project is imported–so long that it feels unworkable.
It would be much much faster for one editor to reduce his project down to the few sequences that need transferring and send that project to the other editor for importing. But I can’t find a way to do this. Project Manager only allows creation of simplified projects with all used media duplicated, which is out of the question. And making a new project to import the master project into with only certain sequences selected runs into the same time sink.
The only way I currently see to do this is to manually go through the project, deleting every sequence but those that I need to transfer, one by one, and then Remove Unused. That would give me a streamlined project that the other editor would be able to import far more quickly. But besides being very time-consuming, it would be difficult to know (considering the size of the project) whether I’d found all sequences that need deleting. So, to my question: Is there a way to select one or more sequences in Premiere, and instruct it to delete all others? If not, does anyone have any other suggestions to make this process faster and smoother?

XML export the selected sequences. Is fast but you will loose titles and effects.
