Specifies the frame width of video previews, constrained by the pixel aspect ratio of the original media.
Specifies the frame height of video previews, constrained by the pixel aspect ratio of the original media.
Clears existing previews and specifies full size for all following previews.
Maximizes the color bit depth, up to 32 bpc, to include in video played back in sequences. This setting is often not
available if the selected compressor provides only one option for bit depth. You can also specify an 8-bit (256-color) palette when
preparing a sequence for 8-bpc color playback, such as when using the Desktop editing mode for the web or for some presentation
software. If your project contains high-bit-depth assets generated by programs such as Adobe Photoshop, or by high-definition
camcorders, select Maximum Bit Depth. Premiere Pro then uses of all the color information in those assets when processing effects or
generating preview files.
Maintains sharp detail when scaling from large formats to smaller formats, or from high-definition to standard-
definition formats. Maximum Render Quality maximizes the quality of motion in rendered clips and sequences. Selecting this option often
renders moving assets more sharply.
At maximum quality, rendering takes more time, and uses more RAM than at the default normal quality. Select this option only on systems
with sufficient RAM. The Maximum Render Quality option is not recommended for systems with the minimum required RAM.
Maximum Render Quality often makes highly compressed image formats, or those containing compression artifacts, look worse because of
sharpening.
For best results with Maximum Render Quality, select Memory from the Optimize Rendering For menu in preferences. For more information,
see Optimize rendering for available memory.
Opens the Save Settings dialog box, where you can name, describe, and save your sequence settings.
Save and name your sequence settings even if you plan to use them in only one project. Saving settings creates a backup copy of the settings
to which you can revert in case someone accidentally alters the current sequence settings.
Tracks settings
Controls the number of video tracks and the number and type of audio tracks for new sequences you create.
Sets the default channel type for the Master track in new sequences to Mono, Stereo, 5.1 surround, or 16 Channel.
If you must change sequence settings that are unavailable, you can create a sequence with the settings you want. Then move the contents
of the current sequence into it.
Selecting a sequence preset
To ensure that a sequence is created to match the characteristics of an asset, drag the asset in the Project panel to the New Item button at the
bottom of the Project panel. This prevents many mistakes that are made when entering sequence settings incorrectly or choosing the wrong
sequence preset.
A sequence can contain different types of assets, in different formats, and with various different parameters. However, Premiere Pro performs best
when the settings for a sequence match the parameters of most of the assets used in that sequence. To optimize performance and reduce
rendering times, find out the following parameters for the primary assets you want to edit before creating a sequence. After learning the asset
parameters, you can create a sequence with settings to match. Before capturing assets from a tape-based device, learn these parameters also, so
that you can select the correct capture settings.
recording format (for example, DV, or DVCPRO HD)
file format (for example, AVI, MOV, or VOB
frame aspect ratio (for example, 16:9, or 4:3)
pixel aspect ratio (for example, 1.0, or 0.9091)
frame rate (for example, 29.97 fps, or 23.976 fps)
