4. Select the Mobile & Devices presets folder. Do one of the following:

To edit a movie aimed exclusively at devices supporting 3GPP video at frame sizes of 176x144 or 88x72, select the CIF, QCIF, QQCIF
preset.

To edit a movie for distribution on the web or on mobile devices that can display 4:3 video at frame sizes of 320x240 or 128x96, select
the iPod, QVGA, Sub-QCIF preset.

5. Enter a name in the Sequence Name field and click OK.

Using multiple sequences

A single project can contain multiple sequences. Different sequences within the same project can have different settings. You select settings for
each sequence when you create it, but you can change some of these settings after a sequence is created.

To switch sequences, in the Program Monitor or in the Timeline panel, click the tab of the sequence you want to use. The sequence becomes
the front most tab in both panels.

To view a sequence in a separate Timeline panel, drag the Sequence tab away from the panel to an empty area. Ctrl-drag (Windows), or
Command-drag (Mac OS) to prevent the panel from docking.

To open a sequence in the Source Monitor, press Ctrl/Command and double-click the sequence in the Project panel. In the Timeline panel,
press Ctrl/Command and double-click a nested sequence.

Nest sequences

You can nest sequences within sequences—to any depth—to create complex groupings and hierarchies. You can nest a sequence into another
having a different timebase, frame size, and pixel aspect ratio settings. A nested sequence appears as a single, linked video/audio clip, even
though its source sequence can contain numerous video and audio tracks.

You can select, move, trim, and apply effects to nested sequences as you would to any other clip. Any changes you make to the source sequence
are reflected in any nested instances created from it.

The ability to nest sequences enables you to employ a number of time-saving techniques and to create effects that otherwise would be difficult or
impossible:

Reuse sequences. When you want to repeat a sequence—particularly a complex one—you can create it once, and then simply nest it in
another sequence as many times as you want.

Apply different settings to copies of a sequence. For example, if you want a sequence to play back repeatedly but with a different effect each
time, just apply a different effect to each instance of the nested sequence.

Streamline your editing space. Create complex, multilayered sequences separately; then add them to your main sequence as a single clip.
This not only saves you from maintaining numerous tracks in the main sequence, but also potentially reduces the chances of inadvertently
moving clips during editing (and possibly losing sync).

Create complex groupings and nested effects. For example, although you can apply only one transition to an edit point, you can nest
sequences and apply a new transition to each nested clip—creating transitions within transitions. Or you can create picture-in-picture effects,
in which each picture is a nested sequence, containing its own series of clips, transitions, and effects.

When nesting sequences, keep in mind the following:

You cannot nest a sequence within itself.

You cannot nest a sequence containing a 16-channel audio track.

Actions involving a nested sequence may require additional processing time, because nested sequences can contain references to many
clips, and Premiere Pro applies the actions to all of its component clips.
