Premiere Pro Sequence

One of the most exciting parts about video editing is that there’s so much to learn. New tools and are being launched, created, and experimented with on a daily basis. Learning is fairly easy and straightforward; getting past the basics takes a little more dedication and practice. Not only do you save time as your knowledge increases, but you become way more capable of quickly and easily creating stories that are entertaining to watch. Here are five tips for your timeline for faster editing in Adobe Premiere Pro. Nesting SequencesSimilar to pre-composing in After Effects, nesting sequences is a great way to apply multiple effects to a clip or project, combine separate sections of a project together, or just work with a clean timeline when making adjustments. “Nesting” a sequence means that you’re taking a sequence and putting it into a new sequence, making it act as its own clip.

Premiere Pro creates a duplicate sequence with the correct dimensions for the new aspect ratio. Every clip in the new sequence has the Auto Reframe effect applied. This duplicate sequence is saved in the Auto Reframe Sequences. To combine clips in Premiere Pro there are some basic steps that must be kept in mind. Combining video clips is called creating a nested sequence; this is quite a powerful process. First, you have to create a sequence and drag and drop the two clips that you wish to combine, into your workspace.

It’s then open to added effects that couldn’t be stacked if it weren’t nested (for example, speed reverse and warp stabilizer can’t work on the same clip).Select or highlight the clip or section you want to nest, right click and select “Nest.” (It should be green.) You can also drag a full sequence onto the “New Sequence” button in the viewer. Make sure to change the name of the nested sequence to your preference, and either cut the new sequence on its own, or within the bigger project.2. Stacking or “Pancake-ing” TimelinesSpeed up your edit dramatically and get a full visual display of your footage by putting multiple timelines on top of each other. Just open the sequences you want to access, then pull one on top of the other by dragging the window above/below the other. The standard configuration is to have your selects above your main edit, but use whatever layout you like best. You can then just go between each sequence and grab clips to place on your main edit.To take it a step further, drag the sequence you want to pull clips from to the source monitor, go to the settings wrench, and click “Open Sequence in Timeline.” Then drag the window as you normally would to your preferred position.

Now each sequence has a monitor window, and you can perform insert and overwrite edits directly from the window. Just make sure that when you’re using this method that you set V1 on the correct/preferred patched source, shown by the highlighted blue square on the far left. (V1, V2, A1, A2, etc.)3. Using Track and Sync LocksThere are times during an edit when you need to move or edit one or more clips without affecting a certain video or audio track. The simple solution is to go over to the padlock to the left of your sequence and click on it.

It will then lock that layer in place, preventing any edits. This works well for a lot of situations; the main drawback is that locking and unlocking a track each time you need to make an edit can be a little tedious.Sync lock is what keeps tracks moving in sync when there are edits made outside their track. It’s on by default.

Disabling sync lock allows you to keep clips on selected tracks in a certain place on the timeline as you make edits that move everything else, for instance when using insert edits. It also allows you to modify them, unlike a track lock.4. Time Remappingis the process of creatively speeding up or slowing down your footage to emphasize certain sections.

This works best when you have higher frame rate footage, so you’re getting smooth slow and fast motion. Right-click on your video’s fx badge and go to Time-Remapping Speed. Now you’ll have a rubber band that adjusts the clip’s speed as you move it up and down.

Up is faster, up to 1,000%, and down is slower, down to 1%. The clip will become longer or shorter as you drag the rubber band. You can also create keyframes by control or command-clicking on the rubber band. Drag the sections between the keyframes to your preferred speed and play it back to see if you like the sudden start and stop of the remapping. If you want to make the ramps more gradual, click and drag the keyframe apart, creating a ramp. You can make it even more gradual by dragging the bezier handles on the blue keyframe between the keyframe handles.5. Adjustment LayersAdjustment layers allow you to apply effects to your clip without having to copy/paste or use master clip effects directly on your footage.

Create a new adjustment layer in your project window by clicking the “New Item” button, then placing the layer over everything you want the effect to be applied to. Everything underneath the adjustment layer will be affected. Your adjustment layer can have multiple effects on it, and you’re able to have multiple adjustment layers with different effects applied.

You can even add a transform effect to an adjustment layer, like scale, position, or rotation, and then animate it over a section of clips.This works great for bulk-applying effects like or color grades, and even allows you to create multiple adjustment layers to turn on/off if you have different uses for the footage or effects you want to try. For instance, if you want to use the crop effect to create different to see which one you like better.Once you get acquainted with all the shortcuts and techniques that are possible just within the Premiere Pro timeline, you can start cutting (pun intended) lots of time off your edits and become a more efficient storyteller. Then you can start researching in the time you’ve saved. It’s a perfect circle. And speaking of your timeline, don’t forget to try!Have any questions about anything covered in this post?

Simply put, a sequence preset is a pre-made setting for your video sequence. It’s a template, essentially. This article covers how to make your own, as well as some handy advice on templatizing projects.Let’s jump in. Sequence presets save you timeWhen you make a new sequence, you need to specify specific settings (like your resolution and timebase). Presets are meant to help save you the time and the headache of scrolling through all the options in the sequence window and corroborating those settings with your camera’s. For instance, if you know you shot on an Arri camera, you can find a premade sequence made just for that type of footage. Same thing for DSLRs, and dozens of other commonly used cameras and codecs.Now sometimes you want to make your timeline based on your camera settings.

Kya hadsaa kya haqeeqat - episode 50. Kya Hadsaa Kya Haqeeqat is an Indian thriller anthology television show that was first broadcast on Sony TV from 16 August 2002 to 9 May 2004.

With Rajeev Khandelwal, Sumeet Sachdev, Kali Prasad Mukherjee, Chetan Hansraj. A dark series packed with a new enticing, mind-bending story in every other couple of episodes full of deceit, lies mystery, propaganda, horror, spirits and sorcery.

Other times, you want to base it off of your export settings, it all depends on your project. Adobe Premiere comes with dozens of sequence presets for you to choose from already, but if you have a video series that has custom needs, you can make your own preset to save you time in the future when making multiple videos that require the same settings. How to make your own sequence presetStep 1: Start your projectWhen you start a new project, your media bin will be completely blank. No media, no sequences. To create a new sequence click the new item icon in the bottom right corner of the media bin. From there, choose Sequence.

Step 2: Select your starting presetWhen the new Sequence window pops up, you will be greeted by the plethora of presets. These are based on the settings of various cameras and editing codecs, as well as other settings commonly used in the film and television industry.The most important factor in selecting the proper preset is knowing both your footage and your final export specs. Have these on-hand before you start working to keep your workflow moving.If any of the already-available presets apply to your projects, you can use them. The most important things to set correctly are the frame rate and the resolution.

The rest can be easily adjusted later in the process, though probably still best to get it right the first time.If you don’t see one that applies, or you’d just prefer to input the settings yourself, go to Settings. You can choose an existing preset, and then click on the Settings tab to modify that preset. A few things to considerIf you’re customizing your preset, you need to consider how your footage specs differ from your timeline specs. These elements will affect your overall edit.

Let’s say you shoot a video at 30 frames per second (fps), but export it in 24fps. Having a 30fps video in a 24fps timeline may also affect playback speed and render times. If your footage has a lower resolution than your raw footage, do you want to be spending most of your time rescaling it into your frame? These are all things to consider ahead of time.As a general rule: If you are using mixed source media with varying resolutions and frame rates, set your timeline to your intended final export settings. Otherwise, if it’s all from the same source, keep the timeline consistent with your source media’s specs. Step 3: Choose your camera and frame rateGo to Settings and find the Editing mode dropdown. Choose the camera settings that match your footage.

From there, select your Timebase (AKA ) of your video. Step 4: Set your resolutionGo to the Frame Size windows and type your resolution in. The rest of the setting options in this tab are important, but usually can be left as is unless you are doing something specific. Always reference your source media and final export plans when in doubt.Pro Tip: One common place people can get tripped up with the Pixel Aspect Ratio. 99% of the time, you’ll be using square pixels. Unless you shoot your footage with a specific camera or in a specific way (I.E.

) you will be using square pixels. If you can’t figure out why your video looks stretched or squished, it’s usually your pixels.Step 5: Choose your tracks, set your specsGo to the Tracks tab. Set how many video and audio tracks you want your sequence to include, and specify the type of audio track. While you can easily customize these elements in any project, if you’re making a preset, then most likely you are planning on cutting similar videos in the future. Just reference how many tracks you use on those videos and apply that here.STEP 6: Save it, name itHit Save Preset, and give it a name.

After doing so it will take you back to the Sequence Presets tab where your newly named Preset will be in the Custom folder.
