Create a sequence
In many cases, you want to create a sequence that matches the characteristics of the primary assets (clips) that you’ll be editing. You can create a
sequence that matches the characteristics of an asset by dragging the asset to the New Item
button at the bottom of the Project panel.
You can also create a sequence by using a sequence preset. The sequence presets included with Premiere Pro include the correct settings for
common types of assets. For example, if you have footage mostly in DV format, use a DV sequence preset.
If you plan to specify lower quality settings for output (such as streaming web video), don’t change your sequence settings. Instead, change your
export settings later.
For information about learning the parameters of your assets, see Selecting a sequence preset .
When all the parameters of your assets do not match all the settings of any preset do one of the following. In the Sequence Presets tab of the
New Sequence dialog box,
select a preset with most settings matching the parameters of the assets you want to edit, then select the Settings tab, and customize the
preset so that its settings match the asset parameters exactly,
without selecting a preset, select the Settings tab of the New Preset dialog box. Select Custom from the Editing Mode menu, and customize
the settings until they match the parameters of your assets.
If your computer has a capture card compatible with Premiere Pro, the Available Presets list shows presets optimized for the card, in some cases.
The sequence settings must be correct when you create the sequence. Once a sequence is created, some sequence settings, such as the
timebase settings, are locked. This locking prevents unwanted inconsistencies that could result from changing sequence settings later.
1. Do one of the following:
Select File > New > Sequence
In the Project panel, click New Item . Then select Sequence.
