Placement
Specifies how clips are placed in the sequence. If you choose Sequentially,
clips are placed one after another. If you choose At Unnumbered Markers, clips are placed
at unnumbered sequence markers. Choosing At Unnumbered Markers makes the
Transitions
options unavailable.
Method
Specifies the type of edit to perform. Choose Insert Edit to add clips to the
sequence starting at the sequence’s current time using insert edits, which shift existing
clips forward in time to accommodate the new material. Choose Overlay Edit to use
overlay edits, which allow the new material to replace clips already in the sequence.
Note: The Automate To Sequence command disregards target tracks and always uses
video1 and audio1.
Clip Overlap
Specifies the duration of the transition and how much to adjust the clips’ In
and Out points to compensate for it when Use Default Transition is selected. For example,
a value of 30 frames trims the clips’ In and Out points 15 frames at each edit, where a 30-
frame transition is added. The default value of this option is 15 frames. A pop-up menu lets
you set the units to Frames or Seconds.
Use Default Transition
When checked, places the default transition (defined in the
Effects window) at each edit. This option is selected by default. Use Default Transition is
available only when the Placement option is set to Sequentially, and has no effect when
the Clip Overlap option is set to 0. See “Using default transitions” on page 162.

Perform Audio Cross Fade
When checked, creates an audio cross-fade at each audio
edit, using the default audio transition (defined in the Effects window). Perform Audio
Cross Fade is available only when audio tracks are present in selected clips, and the
Placement option is set to Sequentially. It has no effect when the Clip Overlap option is set
to 0.
Ignore Audio
When checked, ignores the audio in clips selected to be automated
to the sequence.
To add clips using Automate To Sequence:
1
To prepare the clips for automation, do one of the following:
•
Arrange them in the Project window, preferably in a single bin, using any of the
methods described in “Customizing the Project Window display.”
•
Set In and Out points to define their starting and ending points.
2
Select the clips you want to add to the sequence either by Ctrl-clicking them or by
dragging a selection marquee around them.
3
In the Project window, click the Automate To Sequence button .
4
Choose the appropriate options in the Automate To Sequence dialog box,
and then click OK.
Working with multiple sequences and nested sequences
Adobe Premiere Pro not only allows you to create multiple sequences in a single project
but also permits you to nest sequences inside other sequences. In other words, an entire
sequence of clips can act as a single clip in another sequence within the same project.
Before you begin to arrange clips into a sequence, you should understand the important
implications of these powerful features. The ability to use multiple and nested sequences
increases your flexibility, expands your editing capabilities, and greatly influences your
workflow.
