- Hi guys what is up? This is Vetri. Welcome back to another class from our free Adobe Premiere Pro course.
- Today Vetri and the audience are going to talk about what sequences are.
- In the class Vetri covered how to import different media files into Adobe Premiere Pro and starting from there Vetri and the audience are going to move into actual editing.
- But before Vetri and the audience can start editing, Vetri and the audience first need to create a sequence and that is exactly what todays class is all, about.
- If the audience happened to miss the class where Vetri walked through importing media files the audience would definitely recommend checking that out first before jumping into this one just so everything makes sense as we go along.
A sequence is a placeholder where you can arrange media files. When you are cooking what do you do first? You collect the ingredients for your recipe right? Then you wash the ingredients. Chop them to make them a perfect size. After that you cook those ingredients on a pan. If you are making chicken fry you use a fry pan right? But if you are making a soup you are not going to use the fry payou are going to use a cooking pan so the soup will not overflow.
Adobe Premiere Pro, the golden rule is simple, your sequence needs to match your final output. Planning to upload on YouTube? Set your sequence up for that. Working on a 4K video? Your sequence needs to be 4K too. Sticking to 1080p? Then a 1080p sequence is the way to go. That's really the whole reason sequences matter in the first place, they need to line up with your video's output settings. So how do you actually create a sequence? There are a few ways to go about it in Premiere Pro.
So I'm just going back to my root folder here. I want to make a sequence. If I just right-click here then I can go to New Item and from here I can select Sequence. If I click here this dialog box will appear. Also you can do the thing if you go here to the New Item button. If you click here you will see a button which's Sequence. If you click here again the exact same thing will happen.
To make a sequence we can use a preset for our reference. I'm going here to Digital SLR (DSLR). From here I'm selecting 1080p. From here you can choose a frame rate according to your needs. If you want to edit your video in 24 fps you can select the one. Select it. Then we are going to customize this sequence. Go here to Settings click and then this panel will appear. From here you can alter the settings as you need. For the time base you can see the time base is 23.976. If you want to have 24 fps you can select it from here.
Then if you want to edit a 4K video you need to change the resolution from here. I'm going to edit a 4K video. That is the reason I'm changing the resolution. I'll put 3840. I'll put the vertical number to 2160, which is a 16:9 4K resolution. For the pixel aspect ratio keep it as pixels; fields keep it to no fields; and for the display format keep it at 24 timecode. For the working color space, Rec. 709. From the audio section you can select 48,000. You can also select 44,100 Hz if you want. I will select 48,000 Hz. For the video preview you can keep it as it is.
Then you can make a preset out of these settings so that you don't need to change the settings every time you are going to make a sequence. I will save it as a preset. Click here, on Save Preset.
