Hey Phil, thanks for the video. I have a really simple question, in regards to how you mentioned the third way to use sequences. Ie, for multiple scenes in a narrative film. How do you merge the sequences at the end please? Regards, Dean
This video was very helpful, thank you. I was wondering if you could have different sequences for different size videos, e.g. if I had a sequence for a video shot horizontally and a different sequence for vertical video.
Thank you definitely the right video. I was not sure how to use sequences, but you just opened up my work flow. I was up against the wall trying to break my video into two videos but did not know the best way to do that and this definitely helped me. Thanks,
Hey! I am a video editor new to youtube! Here are 3 sequence settings every creator should know - Standard HD, 4K UHD, Social media & Shorts. I hope it provides some value to you :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QU_9k2HmcPk.html
Had to pause watching this so I could figure out why my MacBook Pro's battery was down to 38%, and it wasn't being charged despite being plugged into power. Thirty seconds of fiddling later I realized my battery was fine. I was watching your video full screen, and so I was looking at _your_ battery, not mine! 😂
I was looking for the last information (how to assemble multiple scenes - that you explained that it is putting all sequences in another sequence). But the whole tutorial was extremely useful! Thank you!
Same. I was wondering about the last step as well. Because each sequence can have different setting, what happens when you mesh all of them together? Would you need to go in and tweak all your clips afterwards?
I am the worst at keeping my media files organized. This is definitely a game changer! I was always confused about what sequences were and how to use them.This was a great simple explanation, thanks for sharing!
This is NOT what I was looking for! But I dont know if the new premiere still has the ability to put the previous sequence edit in one layer and then add more clips when making a new one. It just takes the whole edit in many layers onto the next one which was never there in the previous version and it sucks, if I'm correct!
I was searching for why my In/Out points were not 100% used when I put them in the Media Encoder queue. In my case, I created in/out points for an online course module where I had to split videos to no longer than 20-min segments. My first 2 videos had in/out points at 11 mins and 23 mins. However, the first video that was converted with Media Encoder was 23 mins long. For some reason it ignored the 11 min in/out point. I don't understand what happened.
ok so rn im doing a fortnite montage and so i had to make different sequences because they all were different sizes but now i want to put all the sequences together but everytime the sizes dont change so how do i make all the sequences together and dont have different sizes?
He stuttered, and snapped his finger to mark that as a mistake that needs to be cut from the final export of this tutorial, which the editor apparently didn't notice.
Really helpful video.....in fact I was looking for it.... premiere Pro or FCP or any software......managing files and put them in a systematic manner in timeline and classifying them is very important......otherwise in the middle any editor can go blind/ clueless.........
I was expecting you to finish your final use of sequences, I want my hour long video to edit different scenes in sequences and then put them together. You never said how though you mentioned it
thank you, I would find this video better if you described how to open and close sequences once you fully close out of premier and how to make sure separate sequences do not get lost or confusing to find for future reference. Other than that thanks for the tutorial it was informative
update: i’ve now found out that if you were wondering about editing in sequences and them getting lost would be a problem for you as-well, i’ve come to find that it’s a lot easier than you might expect it to be. it works just as you’d expect if life was a simple world. goodluck to everyone making content!
QUESTION FOR YOU: Say you created 3 Sequences, and now you want your final movie to seamlessly blend all of them. How do you get Sequence 1 to seamlessly blend into Sequence 2, and 2 into 3? BTW, great tutorial!
This is my exact question. I am, indeed, trying to cut together multiple scenes (sequences) into one master sequence. I can put sequences into the master, but the IN/OUT points don't get respected by Premiere.
I was really confused about sequences before I watched this video, thank you so much for the very clear, detailed information. You made it very easy to understand.
Hey Phil, Thanks. Very helpful. What I would like to see is you entire setup on how you handle files. Not only in Premeire Pro but also on your hard drive. You have many courses and many versions of courses with additional materials added on later, for example, the update you made to the Premiere course when 2017 came out. How in the world do you keep track of files without going mad? It would be great if you could add a section in the premiere course that shows how you organize files from beginning to end, including how you keep track of updates to courses.
I organised my folders inside the app and found that my whole video had got totally chaotic. There were black bands covering up my work and there appeared to be clips all over the place where I hadn't put them. Eventually I realised that the app was really struggling to keep up. It was taking several seconds to load each asset and even longer for them to disappear afterwards. I was worried about saving and quitting in case I was saving all the black bands - but eventually I took a deep breath and did it. I restarted my computer and disconnected my iPad Pro from Sidecar. When I restarted everything was fine again. What a relief!
Serioudly! this was like: Bingo. I am returning to Pr after years with still photography and Ps and I'm not feeling the "motor memory" aiw. I've been wrestling with concepts I once understood but have forgotten. This was like a blower that cleared a thin fog! Thanks
Thank you very much for making this extra informative and talking about the different purposes of sequences based on work style. I'm not using a high performance system, and as a newbie have put everything into one sequence, with the goal of rendering many episodes from that. And now it's so long that it's like walking through treacle! So I copied a segment to another sequence, and kept the original one open so I wouldn't lose it. But seeing that I can use a panel of sequences on the left, there must be a way to save the master sequence so I can close it and have better performance.
Hah! As a Photoshop user from almost the beginning (and just recently getting into movie editing) this video demystified a lot of things. (What the heck is a sequence?!?) Further, I'm about to start a more ambitious project, and your tutorial on using the timeline for sections is an absolute lifesaver. This is the perfect video for what I was looking for...and more. ...Well explained for us newbees.
YES, you can combine these sequences. You just create the individual sequences as he shows at timestamp 2:30. You create the new sequence by 1- importing or selecting the footage and 2 - dragging that footage to the NEW ITEM folder below. Now you will see two sequences as noted by the Green colored sequence boxes. You can just drag and drop sequence #2 to at the end of sequence #1 to create a seamless movie with multiple sequences. I'm new to RU-vid, and creating a channel called At The Tasting Room. Hope this helped.
This was a great refresher about sequences in general. So I haven't used Premiere Pro in a couple years and there was a giant shift. I wasn't an expert to begin with but I knew the stuff for my purposes pretty well back then. So I brought in my videos for a wedding project. Then I brought in a bunch of photos, but put them in Sequence 2 forgetting it would be in a separate area. I really just wanted to be able to sprinkle them around in my sequence 1 stuff. Can I combine or merge the sequences or do I need to go bring the photos in again, and put them in sequence 1?
Been using premiere pro for about 3 years now.... I never new you could add another sequence, I would just make all my long term projects on one timeline😭😭😭
I heard that I can have "Master" sequences so changes in the master automatically apply to the other sequences? This would be helpful if you were making two versions of a video for instance, one that was 16x9 and one that was for Reels or something. How do you do this? Is that really possible? Great video by the way.
I think most people start out making one big timeline, and then it gets messy, so THEN they start wanting to break it down into shorter sequences. Kinda the opposite of the workflows you mentioned, and it would be helpful to learn how to do that. But I'm just making an insurance inventory video, so I will make a sequence for each room. You saved me from making an entire new video for each room, which was my original plan. :-)
If I would do a social media video ad, and for example also want it in different size, you can also use this way? because I'm always struggling keeping things organized...
Really good video with great examples on the different ways people use sequences that in itself gave me some ideas, then you got to the bit I was looking for at the end talking about long projects being spit into smaller parts, in my head kind of like chapters of a book, but here where is where I needed some help and an example would have been really useful. I'm about 6 months into premier pro and have literally been putting together a video/sequence a bit like typing a story into word, I now find myself with a 35 minute timeline with 15 layers of video/titles in places and 3 layers of sound and PP is lagging. I have improved things by using Mark in and Mark out and forcing PP to render sections but I'm at a point where I really need to split a massive sequence into sub sequences and I cant seem to find a decent example of how to do this - I'm guessing there must be some fellow newbies out there with a similar story. But great video, I got massive value so thank you for creating and sharing!
Yes! This was the video I was looking for. I used to go to Sequence on the top bar to create e new sequence, and it would come up with all these sorts of settings I don't quite understand yet, like DV 24p, DSLR 24p, etc. But thank you this is helpful for me with creating different versions of my edits.
2. Working on Three hours long video (size 3GB). To make clips of 5-10 minutes from this with sequence. The project save. If we delete the 3GB video from my computer. The project dosnt open. How can we deal with such big Raw Video for premier pro
1. I have a Three hour long video (size 3GB). I need to make some clips of 5-10 minutes from this with sequence. Adobe premier goes crashed several times. Pls help
I had done a Google Search for inserting a sequence into another sequence and this video came up as a suggestion.... unfortunately, though you covered how sequences are used you did not explain how to insert one into another. Could you please direct me to any content you've made that would explain this? Do I need to create a nest? What are the steps to place one sequence into another? Thanks!
Thanks. Would be good to see the sequence in sequence component done. Doesn't seem as easy as it works in After Effects. You would think you could just drag a sequence onto a new sequence timeline and it would come in as a single media element. Nope. Gotta nest it etc.... Don't understand why?
I'm taking your course and I was struggling with my understanding of sequences and this cleared it up for me. Thank you, and I want to commend you on being an excellent teacher and I am taking a couple of your courses, and sure I will take more in the future. Just so you will know, I am a prison minister, and attempting to create videos for the purpose of promoting the ministry so other people will join in and help... thanks again.
I subscribe your channel for this video, then I pressed Like for this 08:11, then I pressed notification for 09:41.. finally thank you so much Phil for your help... and requesting you to please let us know the way u have made the audio quality for this video then I will Share your channel (hehehe___ )... again thank you so much...
Thank you for confirming what I suspected - that in a video of 40 minutes or so I should be saving my various 'chapters' into new sequences. I'm hoping it will keep my computer running smoothly and not get congested with all the animations and settings that are becoming necessary on each clip. I still have a query, though. Having done that, is it possible to get Premiere Pro to export them joined up into a continuous length of film? When we show the video, we really don't want to have to keep starting up the next scene! every few minutes How would I do that?
This was helpful but very long. It would have been nice to start with either timestamps or at least the tl;dr-- "Sequences used for: a) version control b) multiple videos to live in the same project c) break out longer form content by scenes You can find timestamps for each of these use cases in the description. Something along those lines.
I have a question to which I don't think I found and answer in this video...I recently started working for an advertising company that makes short 10 to 15 second facebook ads and I made just one project in which I made a sequence for every ad. But these sequences are now getting really clustered and I find it hard to manouver through them and find what I am searching for quickly. I was hoping you could enlighten me as to how am I supposed to organize 10 to 30 different videos/ads per day. Whether I am supposed to use new projects for every video, is the sequencing thing that I am doing right now the best option or is there a third way of doing it? Thank you for you answer!
I was actually looking for something a little different. I am creating a webinar that has 3 basic setups, 2 of which have green screen content. So what I wanted to do was create seperate sequences for each setup, and then use these sequences as separate cameras in multi-camera edit mode. Is that even do-able?
This is what I needed thank you. I’m still running into an issue adding new media to existing sequences. I’m working on a Mac and feel like I’m not “grabbing” media correctly to drag from source to sequence.
Still a bit confused on the big difference, but the gist I got is that sequences are better for working on multiple clips together into one video whereas a new project is better for working on multiple different videos at once. Plus more open sequences over more projects might help save on memory overall... maybe? I'm not sure entirely, but that is what I've got from this.
Hi, thank you for the video. I just wanted to ask you how do you save these sequences once you`re finish editing? because i`m having problems with the saving. Thank you
When it’s time to render and combine the sequences, how do you do that? Can you be selective on which of the sequences? Do you want to consolidate in an export or do they all consolidate at once??
what i really wanted to know is why isnt my video playing back in 24 fps when the sequence in set to 24 fps, my 60 fps clips dont appear to be playing in slow motion when i press play in the preview window. But i did want to know what you covered in this video as well, different ways to utilize multiple sequences.
I see that your video files format are .mov - I have problem a lot of my videos with this format don't play on Premier, When i pause i get a black screen. When I play it it shows the footage. I tried everything, can you tell me how do i fix it? What's frustrating me is some other files! are working perfectly. All token from iPhone 12 promax
Hello Phil, newbie here and came across your channel and enjoy the tempo and clearness in your instructions. Easy for learning....I've been playing with drones, go pros, Dslr and 360 cameras and now learning the challenging world of editing and just wanted to thank you for your help.

While watching I was wondering, how multiple sequences are exported and how things like naming files are effected with when exporting. Also how to get rid of a sequence you dont want.
This is the video explainer I was looking for to learn how to create a bunch of short videos from long clips. I have video clips, each about an one hour with multiple speaker presentations. I want to cut up each speaker’s presentation into segments, add some titles to identify each speaker and the conference, then upload each short video to YT. I thought this was gonna be a a simple project to learn some basic Premiere. Lol
I'm having an issue. Basically, when you have your sequence, you have the video with the audio, and the space below where you can put more audio. But for some reason, all of my clips have been moved down to the bottom of the space, so now I can't access the extra audio below it. What do I do?
How do you highlight and copy part of a sequence so that you can paste it into a new sequence? Especially if you have a lot of layers, i.e. Audio or voice streams or 2 layers of video, it seems very difficult to position your mouse Without losing some of the components? I'm attempting to copy pieces of a sequence so that I can copy them into other sequences. I'm not referring to copying entire sequences which I see is very easy to do in your video and the left side of the screen you just click on the entire sequence and can copy it and duplicated easily. I've been trying to copy on the right side the open sequence, At least parts of it
Nice; question. Would I use sequence to save and reuse an opening and closing I have created? For multiple videos. And how do you save this sequence with the assets? Thanks
Ah i came to the wrong section of sequence. I was looking at what actually is sequence and what did it do and how did it help in editing. This is about what you did with Sequence.
I wanna know how can i move a clip or a scene that i edited into a different sequence so i can have a collection of deleted scenes, content etc I would be delightful if you could show how to do it
This is SO helpful for a newb like myself. I've been trying to find a video explaining how Sequences work within a Project, and all I've been finding are beginner videos explaining EVERYTHING ELSE BUT. Love that you explained a few different ways to use them. Mainly, for me, creating separate sequences for different scenes and bringing them together into one. This is relevant even for it being from 6 years ago at this point. 🙏😭🤩
