In Premiere Pro, you specify the settings for each sequence, trim your clips, and assemble clips in sequences.
Every Premiere Pro project can contain one or more sequences, and each sequence in a project can have settings different from the settings for
the others. For example, one project can contain one sequence optimized for 30-fps widescreen DV assets, another for standard 24-fps DV
assets, and still another for HDV footage.
You assemble and rearrange sequences in one or more Timeline panels, where their clips, transitions, and effects are represented graphically. You
can open a particular sequence on a tab in a Timeline panel among other sequences, or keep it by itself in its own dedicated Timeline panel.
A sequence can consist of multiple video and audio tracks running parallel in a Timeline panel. Multiple tracks are used to superimpose or mix
clips. A sequence must contain at least one video track and one audio track.
Sequences with audio tracks must also contain a master audio track, where the output of regular audio tracks is directed for mixing. Multiple audio
tracks are used to mix audio. You can specify the type of audio channels supported by each audio track and decide how they are sent to a Master
audio track. To achieve even greater control over the mixing process, you can create submix tracks.

Andrew Devis shows how to create a new sequence from a clip’s dimensions by dragging a clip to the New Item button in the Project panel in this
video tutorial . The default scale to sequence size function is also discussed.
This chapter from the “Adobe Premiere Pro Classroom in a Book” explains how to set up projects, sequences, and preferences when getting

Timeline panels
A single Timeline panel appears in a frame in the lower central portion of the screen when you first launch Premiere Pro, open any of its default
workspaces, or create a project. You can remove all sequences from a Timeline panel, or add multiple sequences to it, each appearing as a tab
within that Timeline panel. You can also open multiple Timeline panels, each within its own frame, with each containing any number of sequences.
You can show or hide items by selecting, or deselecting them in the Timeline panel menu. These items include: time ruler numbers, and the work
area bar.
