You might can dictate where the media goes – not sure as I haven’t been in MC for years now. Edited only on MC for 22 years before company made me move to Premiere.

I understand. I’m not sure how MC prioritizes numbered folders inside the MXF folder. One thing is to do a quick test by transcoding something, create a new folder and test again. If all else fails you could sort by date and move media files to a new folder before copying but it should resort to that.

I would keep it simple and remember the reason for external backup. Organization is everything. Day one when you have started on your PC, copy all sources to your external along with the project folder. Day 2, when adding sources; camera cards, video files, graphics, music … then simply add those to your PC in a “Day 2” folder maybe named by date. At the end of Day 2, copy only that folder over that has all new source assets along with your project folder.
The point for backup is that it is there for catastrophic failure. No need to copy transcoded MXF media. If a failure happens and you need to get back to where you were without loss, all you need is source files and project file … yes, it will take time to transcode again if not linking, time to re-transcode titles, video and audio renders etc. I can’t imagine you would have too much additional sources to copy over each day, and organizing in folders would make the manual copy easy.
I might consider two 8TB externals in case one of those physical drives failed. ALSO, even if delete files from PC, I would never delete them from the copied external drives unless you have access to those files in their original location (camera cards, dropbox, whatever). Deleting has almost always come back to bite me!
Just my thoughts on simplicity.

With default keyboard settings, the plus (+) and minus (-) keys zoom in and out.

You can probably, through a series of steps, edit the font in After Effects, possibly even edit the .mogrt file to allow Premiere to change fonts, however there may be limitations on what you can choose to allow to be modified.

Clip name Effect – Effects\Video\Clip name

If it is loopable simply repeat. To make any clip loopable that is not, you can add edit in the middle of the clip, move the front half to after the back half, trim the original beginning and original ending that are now joined to allow a dissolve (greatly depends on the footage) that hopefully makes the transition “seamless”. you then have a clip where the new beginning and new ending are perfect frame matches that can be repeated.

Probably I do not understand correctly, but I would render in AE, import that file. When changes come, go into AE and make changes, make that the work area, export only that and lay into PPro timeline.

Are your audio tracks disabled?

By sitting on a timeline do you mean you see the 3 video tracks? If so then that is the multicam sequence which was “opened in timeline” and you need to select that clip and “make sequence from clip”. Then you multicam edit the sequence.
In my opinion, while it is technically a sequence, multicam sequences would be better explained as a multicam “clip” which is the made into a multicam sequence for editing.
You can select a multicam and “open in timeline” and adjust things like which cam is on which track if that matters to you and you can apply color treatments etc. to the clips. Everything you do to the multicam clip when opened in timeline affects, or is reflected in the sequence made from the multicam clip.
