Using Subclips in Premiere Pro
Subclips are smaller parts of the bigger project. Use the Make Subclip command early and save yourself some time when you get to the timeline.
Modify Textures on 3D Objects
If you have imported a 3D object that has a texture applied to it, that texture will show up as a sublayer with your 3D layer. To modify or replace the existing texture, simply double-click directly on the texture name in the Layers panel. A dialog will open with the 2D texture. Make whatever changes you need, then close and save the document. Just like a Smart Object, it will update automatically in the main document.
