This is still relevant today. It actually helps you get a little more creative with the edit knowing you can go back to the saved version. Always enjoy your videos thank you.
Colin, I love your videos. They’re clear and concise, with no nonsense. I particularly like that you start with a simple ‘Hello’ rather than ‘What’s up guys’ with funny finger shapes!
Glad you made this and I do this all of the time when working in Premiere (making sequences, then duplicating them and so forth). Recently was showing a colleague who is new in the SW something. When it started auto saving, she clicked cancel. I said, don't EVER do that and let the SW save your project in case of a crash. I am always hitting CTRL SAVE myself on projects. So this is a great tutorial and thanks.
Merry Christmas Colin! I'll use that duplicate command from here on in. Especially when I try the road less traveled. I watched a video by a professional editor and he sets his autosave to every minute because things happen that quickly when you know your keyboard shortcuts. That's saved me more than once.
As usual you rock! I'm starting to turn the corner on Premiere and it is very exciting when, you are not so intimidated by such a awesome editor. Most of that I contribute to you! Thanks.
Thank you exponentially! I keep getting quick simple professional tips from you. In weeks I've upped my game immensely. I am a save-a-holic like you and detest auto save for a very important reason.... I love to try destructive things out and when they work, which is 20% at best, I save. When it doesn't, I simply revert. The last thing I need is to be mid destructive experiment and have auto save wipe my good work out. I'd rather take responsibility and save when I'm ready. If I lose hard work due to Not saving I just man up and deal
I prefer Duplicating a Sequence to make big changes rather than Revert. Sometimes I don't remember what I did or didn't do since the last Save and I might loose something during a Revert.
Thank you kindly exactly what you said saved my ass from re cutting a sequence. This is so on point I just sent it to my co editor at 4:44 am so in he waked up he will study on this too. You saved both of our behinds cause I know Selvyn was over there scratching his head wondering how not to bluff your self out of an hour or 2. I appreciate this more than words can tell.
My goodness Colin I didn't realized how easy it is to save my projects. I have the Adobe cloud and never use it. I'm so stupid and careless. I'll take my time saving next time. Not taking my chances anymore. Thank you, you are the best. Oh and Merry Xmas.
Amazingly simple and I overlooked it! I would save a seperate file for a new version. Old habit from working with less functional files I guess. Thank You!
In the Avid world I quickly learned not only to CTRL S throughout the session, but to create backup sequences on revisions and whenever stopping down. While the files already include timestamp metadata I found it useful to provide my own to speed recovery. ie VideoRevealed_v03_06242020AM Also avoid using the word "Final", can't tell you how many times I seen VR final final final seq, when a date and time along with an "archive" for older sequences would have made life easier for everyone. Thanks for the great info.
As always - fantastic! My three places I save: one in Premiere Pro (now adding to the Creative Cloud - great tip_), one on my D: drive and third on my external hard drive. My paranoia about losing stuff has thus far done me well! haha!
Incredibly important lesson here about saving versions. Can't be stressed enough. Thank you for the important reminder, Colin. I am currently saving all projects onto two external hard drives and the Adobe CC. I was about to pick up another LaCie Rugged 2TB drive when I heard you mention saving to Google Drive as an option. I have 85GB of space left on it. If you were me, would you put work there or onto another LaCie?
Thanks for the reminder! I remember when I use to work in Final Cut 7 and it would crash and lose all my work. So far I've been very fortunate in the last 3 years working with adobe premiere pro I haven't lost any work. I have had it crash on me but the program usually recovers it when I open it up again. There will even be a disclaimer box "adobe premiere pro will try to recover your work but no guarantees" or something like that. On a side not isn't backing up your actual media just as important if not more important than just having multiple copies of your project file? I mean you if you lose media then you're really screwed and would have to reshoot.
Yes, Premiere Pro has some great recovery capabilities for sure. Backing up your media is essential but sometimes people need babysteps and Project backup is a good start.
but when you clicked on the first version the sequence didn't return to how it was before you deleted it... I'm trying to create multiple videos with the exact same transparent video and timecodes, but change the videos with each project. When i save the project the sequence doesn't save with it. Am i doing something wrong?
Sequences are independent. What you do in one Sequence will not affect another Sequence. That's the way it works. If you want to update something, then Nest a Sequence in another Sequence. Here's a tutorial: ruclips.net/video/VsnWKg7iTVY/видео.html
Colin, I will start a small project, and all the footage and audio are in on a hard drive. I will put the project there as well. What I'm gonna do is just a pre-edition, just to organize all the stuff in Premiere Pro. After that, I'll leave this hard drive with the Video Editor to do the final work. My question is about setting up this new project, about the location of the folders of: "Video Previews", "Audio Previews" and "Project Auto Save''. Can I leave all of it as "Same as Project"? Thanks! Greetings from Brazil.
Instead of numbering the saved files, I use a date code with a format 'YYMMDD.' i.e. 'Ballon Ride-200118' for the date January 18, 2020. This makes it sort perfectly when listing alphabetically. If I have multiple saves for a day, I add a letter at the end of the name: 'b,' 'c,' ...
Thanks for all your video...My question.. is there a way to save my BIN that I created, I have a transition pack in that BIN so his there a way to save it for future use..Thanks for your help..!
If you access a previous Project using the Media Browser, then you can import any part of that Project. I use that for my show. I create a new Project then import my "template" Project that includes bins of the show opening, credits, overlay graphic, etc. Have a look at this tutorial: ruclips.net/video/UKuNTPXmfnA/видео.html
When you open old Projects, Premiere Pro will ask you to resave in the new version so you won't miss anything. And yes, it doesn't hurt to remove previous versions.
Hi Smith how are you man. this is Jassy from India i am really thank full you because with the help of ur tutorial we have got solved almost every problems. I am using premierpro from ages but with the time everything is going change day by day from Standred to miniHd to HD to fullHD to 2k to 4K to 6K and now 8k. I am glade we are improving now there is one question about sequsnce setting for sony A7S2. I am shooting almos on 50FPS right and my sequence settings is 1920X1080 (1.0) ,50 FPS, Progressive. But someone was saying that my frame rate should be 25FPS and now i aam confused.can you plz help me about his. TThansk Regards LHI cinema Jasbir Singh
The easiest way to make the proper sequence is to Right-click on the clip and choose New Sequence from Clip. This will make a Sequence with the exact same frame rate as your clip. If you're not attempting to create a slow motion effect, then you may want to shoot at 25fps and create your Sequence with that same frame rate. If you are trying to create a slow motion effect, then shoot at 50fps, create a 25 fps Sequence, then Right-click on the clip and choose Modify> Interpret Footage. In that dialog box change the 50 fps to 25 fps and you'll have beautiful slow motion when you drop it in the 25 fps Sequence.
I still don't understand why the auto save in PP doesn't work the same as in Avid or FCP. Shouldn't it override the current version? Command S is part of my muscle memory, so I probably hit it every :30. My Auto Save pref is set to 5 minutes. I have noticed that even though it is set to 5 minutes, a lot of the time if I need to open an Auto Save version due to a crash, that sometimes the last saved version is much older than 5 minutes. Any idea as to why? I also use a Seqs New and Seqs Old folder as part of my folder structure on every project. I can't recommend it enough. Thanks.
That's a common question and what you are doing when you manually save is interrupting the auto save timing. This is expected behaviour. Premiere Pro's Auto Save is there for recovery purposes and it's not really meant to be used as a chronological save history.
Thanks a million Colin. I'm starting a 30-40 minute documentary and separating all scenes as sequences. And every day I want to perhaps make a change to a sequence. So I load it, rename it, but when I double click it to make changes, it opens (in the timeline space) with the old version! So I'm working with the old version and not the new one! how do you solve this? thanks!
It's really hard to say without looking at what you're doing. There's a direct connection to the name in the Timeline and the name in the Project panel. And make sure you're not Nesting Sequences.
thank you so much, but my question is, how to save a sequence with the video files, just like saving a project, but I am looking to save the sequence and move it to another computer for later editing? is that possible ?
Can you please help me How to replace all the clips in all the sequences For example if I have 10 sequences and each sequence have 1 clip and 1 adjustment layer and I just want to replace that 1 clip with the another clip in all the sequences
That's more of an artistic call and it's beyond just a response in this thread. For me, I'd ask the producers what they expect, then compile all the most import shots, and start cutting it together. Do many, many revisions until it's finally approved.
Great Video - I have a Question - Is it possible in Premiere pro that I am working on a project in Premiere pro on a laptop and when i fully edit it and want to render it in my desktop which has same version of premiere pro. But I want to do it by copying and past all the thing like project files raw files sound every thing and then Final render in my desktop. is it possible ???
That's just regular computer file access. You can either move all the assets to an external disk then attach that to the desktop, or put the assets on a server and connect to that. It's no different than answering the question, "how can I open the same image on my laptop and desktop?".
I see this video is from 2016. I wanted to activate the auto save to Creative Cloud that you demonstrated. That went fine. However, my Premiere Pro has a third option, "Auto save also saves the current project(s)." What does that do that the "automatically save projects" and save to CC don't do?
@@VideoRevealed I think I have the same issue(new to premiere pro) Ive recorded the experience here: www.loom.com/share/5b3f9b0dc1fa49a7bd921cea38d1181f Thanks for your tutorial on backups
Cool and useful tutorial. And what about using Git? It is a very powerful tool to make versions of your projects both on your drive and onto the Github's servers.
VideoRevealed the blog makes no reference to adobe story being able to sync up master clips with a script, similar to Avids script sync feature. I'll have to check on whether the new update allows for anything like that.
It doesn't. There is actually less functionality in this version as the update was to rewrite the app in HTML 5 instead of Flash. The good news it, Story isn't dead. The other thing to keep in mind is that SciptSync is not free ($349) so you can't really expect that same features in Story, which is free.
All in all it's a good thing! I work at a larger media company that would likely pay the $350 for a feature similar to Script Sync. It's very handy for any projects that include interviews / spoken dialogue. Thanks for the info. Your videos are fantastic, keep up the great content.

That is great, I am wondering, I have a project, but it seems to not have the newest sequence in, or sequncess seem to dispaear, am i savign the sequncess wrong somehow. Using 2018
It's up the to the editor to manage everything in the Project Bin so you have to remember what is the newest and organize it accordingly. Premiere Pro saves backup versions of Projects; are you sure you're not accidentally opening an old Project?
@@VideoRevealed Ok, it is a bit cofusing as the sequencess seem to be random as to the point they are at. So you open the last project but you find the sequence is older than the one you were using, or if you had four open when saving, then you reopen and there are only two. But your advice on saveing sequencess and making copies is goo. But I never got this with Final Cut. I am wondering if maybe it is about media browsign, rather than importing the actual files.
When I save a project and re open it never opens the original sequence. E.g its just a solid bar instead of the various cuts I had previously.... Any help?
If you have any direct line to Premiere for upgrade features, I have one. The mask tracking is not very good, I have had a client change logo's on some of their equipment, so I have had to go back a cover many logos on many objects. It would be great if everything was shot on a tripod, but everyone wants a dynamic gimble move, plus it is a spinning hub on a excercise bike. They need to give Premiere the same tracking engine that After Effects has, for guys like me who dont have time to learn a whole other Software.
I absolutely agree that the tracker in Premiere Pro is not very good. I don't think it was designed as a visual effects tool but just as a follow someone's head or license plate tool. But even with that it's lame. I doubt we'll see it get better any time soon as After Effects is the proper place to do this effect. And because you also get Mocha for AE, that's an even more amazing tool. Here's a tutorial: vimeo.com/114850269
Every time I do critical changes,I just make a "save as" version and named it how much work I have done and then I continue editing.save as will help u guys as well.
Hi! I'm having some troubles with the premiere cc 2017 xml. It wont open in Smoke autodesk. There is another way to expot not losing the motion effects?
The XML that Premiere Pro produces is based exactly on FCP XML so I'm not sure why it won't open. Did you try a very simple Timeline to see if there is something in the other one that may be causing the problem?
I am doing the same thing on a very complex edit I'm working on right now. I have close to 300 unique Sequences and animations created and I'm terrified that I am going to screw something up so I have multiple backups and I'm checking and double checking as I go.
Can it be possible to use a nested sequence again and again with some changes. (I made nested sequence which is perfect. It includes text, effects, etc. i want to use it again and again but when i make any change in it. Changes also apply on previous one).
Hello, I'm the author of this tutorial. If you watch at 3:18, I show you how to duplicate Projects. Each one can be a copy or a version depending on what you do with it. That's no different than making version of Word files, Photoshop files, or any other computer file on your system. I hope that helps.
Great content. My RUclips channel is going to grow because of you. 😍. Thank you for the help. You deserve the sub. I've always backed up but your video taught me how to work with two sequences simultaneously THE CORRECT WAY. I use it for moving b-roll around.

How did I miss this video???? Coliin, When Ii update my Pr to 2021, should I remove 2019-2020? What happens to projects created in 2019-2020?
When you open old Projects, Premiere Pro will ask you to resave in the new version so you won't miss anything. And yes, it doesn't hurt to remove previous versions.

The easiest way to make the proper sequence is to Right-click on the clip and choose New Sequence from Clip. This will make a Sequence with the exact same frame rate as your clip.
If you're not attempting to create a slow motion effect, then you may want to shoot at 25fps and create your Sequence with that same frame rate.

Thanks Collin 👊😇
You're welcome.
thanks duuuude!
You're welcome!
Thank you man!
You're welcome.
When i duplicate a sequence and make changes to one, it automatically changes the original sequence too. How do I prevent that? thanks!
Duplicates are unique versions and won't change anywhere else. I have no idea what you're doing to do that.
@@VideoRevealed I think I have the same issue(new to premiere pro) Ive recorded the experience here:

Thanks for your tutorial on backups
I have the same issue at version 2020.
What is the keyboard shortcut you used when making another version of the sequence?
\
Right-click and select Duplicate. There is no keyboard shortcut set by default, but you can save one yourself
@@VideoRevealed oh thanks
Cool and useful tutorial. And what about using Git? It is a very powerful tool to make versions of your projects both on your drive and onto the Github's servers.
Sounds interesting. I'm a little bit familiar with Github but didn't know it could be used with editing software.
Excellent
Thanks.
Great video, 2021!!
Thanks so much.
Hey Colin, can you do a video on Adobe Story integration? Does this feature even work? I feel like the license was canceled by Adobe or something.
Did you see that Story got an update?
blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/new-framework-for-adobe-story-cc/
VideoRevealed thank you Colin! This is news to me
VideoRevealed the blog makes no reference to adobe story being able to sync up master clips with a script, similar to Avids script sync feature. I'll have to check on whether the new update allows for anything like that.
It doesn't. There is actually less functionality in this version as the update was to rewrite the app in HTML 5 instead of Flash. The good news it, Story isn't dead.
The other thing to keep in mind is that SciptSync is not free ($349) so you can't really expect that same features in Story, which is free.
All in all it's a good thing! I work at a larger media company that would likely pay the $350 for a feature similar to Script Sync. It's very handy for any projects that include interviews / spoken dialogue. Thanks for the info. Your videos are fantastic, keep up the great content.
awesome tips fam
Thanks

That is great, I am wondering, I have a project, but it seems to not have the newest sequence in, or sequncess seem to dispaear, am i savign the sequncess wrong somehow. Using 2018
It's up the to the editor to manage everything in the Project Bin so you have to remember what is the newest and organize it accordingly.
Premiere Pro saves backup versions of Projects; are you sure you're not accidentally opening an old Project?
@@VideoRevealed Ok, it is a bit cofusing as the sequencess seem to be random as to the point they are at. So you open the last project but you find the sequence is older than the one you were using, or if you had four open when saving, then you reopen and there are only two. But your advice on saveing sequencess and making copies is goo. But I never got this with Final Cut. I am wondering if maybe it is about media browsign, rather than importing the actual files.
When I save a project and re open it never opens the original sequence. E.g its just a solid bar instead of the various cuts I had previously.... Any help?
Is it green? Maybe it's a nested sequence? Other than that, I have no idea why that's happening.
If you have any direct line to Premiere for upgrade features, I have one. The mask tracking is not very good, I have had a client change logo's on some of their equipment, so I have had to go back a cover many logos on many objects. It would be great if everything was shot on a tripod, but everyone wants a dynamic gimble move, plus it is a spinning hub on a excercise bike. They need to give Premiere the same tracking engine that After Effects has, for guys like me who dont have time to learn a whole other Software.
I absolutely agree that the tracker in Premiere Pro is not very good. I don't think it was designed as a visual effects tool but just as a follow someone's head or license plate tool. But even with that it's lame.
I doubt we'll see it get better any time soon as After Effects is the proper place to do this effect. And because you also get Mocha for AE, that's an even more amazing tool. Here's a tutorial:

Every time I do critical changes,I just make a "save as" version and named it how much work I have done and then I continue editing.save as will help u guys as well.
Me too.
Useful tips.
Thanks.
I'm one of those who just got the wake up call. Lol thanks
You're welcome and now you should have more freedom to take changes.
How can i save cutting clips to individual Premiere projects files ?
I'm not clear on what you're trying to do but maybe Subclips would work?

Hi! I'm having some troubles with the premiere cc 2017 xml. It wont open in Smoke autodesk. There is another way to expot not losing the motion effects?
The XML that Premiere Pro produces is based exactly on FCP XML so I'm not sure why it won't open. Did you try a very simple Timeline to see if there is something in the other one that may be causing the problem?
VideoRevealed thanks for answering!
When I try to open in Smoke it says its not compatible. Very strange.
Sorry my bad english!
Did you try a different XML?
Have you successfully imported Premiere Pro XML in the past?
Yes! And it worked as well. Maybe it can be an update.
Even if Adobe updated the XML, it's still 100% FCP XML so you need to ask the guys who make Smoke and see what their compatibility is regarding FCP.
Merry Christmas....
From a bad experience about 15 years ago in college, I know press Ctrl S every 5-10minutes.
I also save several file versions if Ive made a big change, but may want to undo at a later staget
Absolutely. I learned the same thing back in the 80's.
I am doing the same thing on a very complex edit I'm working on right now. I have close to 300 unique Sequences and animations created and I'm terrified that I am going to screw something up so I have multiple backups and I'm checking and double checking as I go.
haha, amazing. I assume you delete all of the copies once you have finalised and exported the clip?
They're not copies, each one is a needed component for a 1 hour show. It's the most complex edit I've ever had to manage. Its exhausting work.
The reveal project in explorer is grayed out for me
I'm sorry, I have no idea why that is happening.
Just watched this and would like to implement it, however this does not work in the current 2021 version of Premiere Pro. Any updates by chance?
It works in any version. You're just duplicating the Sequence. If you're having trouble duplicating, just copy and paste.
I save all the time. Just because I hate looking at the * in the Project. :)
Funny.
3:22 Im not able to click on the option `reveal in explorer´ =(
why´s that?
My only thought is you might have to update to the latest version of Premiere Pro.
When i Duplicate it and make changes in it. Changes made in both duplicate and original. Plz help
You must be nesting a Sequence inside another Sequence. Double-click a Sequence from the Project Bin to open it.
Can it be possible to use a nested sequence again and again with some changes.
(I made nested sequence which is perfect. It includes text, effects, etc. i want to use it again and again but when i make any change in it. Changes also apply on previous one).
No. Nested Sequences are the exact same so any change is propagated in all instances.
That's the problem. Ok thanks for Reply.
Did you find out how to resolve that problem? I can' t find any reasonable solution for it too.
But you didn't even go over how to save the first sequence for us to duplicate? How do we get to the first step?
I suggest watching the Start Here playlist first. Here's why I don't show every step in every tutorial:
ruclips.net/video/AD2JRKpuzKM/видео.html
In your words, it's time for me to upgrade.
It makes a huge difference.
If I do not see the Autosave tab IN THE PROJECT?
You need to upgrade to the latest version.

?
Sorry about my English I meant to thank you very much
You're welcome.
Why didn't the author of this video tell you how to get to "Project; Versions" How dumb? I can't find it?
Hello, I'm the author of this tutorial. If you watch at 3:18, I show you how to duplicate Projects. Each one can be a copy or a version depending on what you do with it. That's no different than making version of Word files, Photoshop files, or any other computer file on your system. I hope that helps.
Why I can’t save the video file
This tutorial is about saving Sequences, is that what you're having trouble with?
Or are you trying to export the Sequence?
Great content. My RUclips channel is going to grow because of you. 😍. Thank you for the help. You deserve the sub. I've always backed up but your video taught me how to work with two sequences simultaneously THE CORRECT WAY. I use it for moving b-roll around.
That's great to hear.
I don't like being backed up.
Ha, ha. Me too. 😂
thank you!
You're welcome.
