Project template
Also called: edit template, timeline template
You build it once. Folder structure, a sequence at the right resolution and frame rate, lower thirds, intro card, subscribe animation, a music bus and your export presets. Every new edit starts from a copy instead of an empty timeline.
The saving in minutes is smaller than the gain in consistency: same colours, same fonts, same loudness target every week, without those decisions being made again at midnight. Most editors pair it with a matching folder template on disk so footage always lands in the same place and the project still finds its media a year later.
