view of the Monitor window, and in the Timeline window. Tabs make it easy to switch
between sequences, though you can also “tear away” a tab to view a sequence in its own
window (see “Using tabs in windows” on page 45).
Bear in mind that all the sequences in a project must share the same timebase, which
defines how Adobe Premiere Pro calculates time, and which cannot be changed after you
create the project (see “Specifying project settings” on page 58).
Note: You can import a project into another project with a different timebase. However,
the alignment of edits in the imported sequences continue to reflect the timebase of their
source project. Because mismatched timebases can cause frame misalignments, you
should check—and, if necessary, adjust—edits in imported projects.
To create a new sequence:
1
Do one of the following:
•
Choose File > New > Sequence.
•
In the Project window, click the New Item button , and choose Sequence.

In the New Sequence dialog box, specify the following options:
•
For Sequence Name, enter a descriptive name for the sequence.
•
For Video, type the number of video tracks you want the sequence to contain, or click
the up and down arrows to change the number.
•
For Master, choose an option from the pop-up menu to specify whether you want the
Master audio track to be mono, stereo, or 5.1.
•
For the remaining fields, enter the number of each type of audio track you want the
sequence to contain, or click the up and down arrow buttons to change each number.

Click OK to create the sequence.
Note: See “Planning your audio workflow” on page 171 to learn more about the different
types of audio tracks.
To set the default settings for new sequences:
With the Project window active, choose Project > Settings > Default Sequence, and
specify
the number and type of video and audio tracks. See “Specifying project settings” on
page 58 for more information.
To switch sequences:
In the Program view of the Monitor window or in the Timeline window, click the tab of the
sequence you want to use. The sequence becomes the frontmost tab in both windows.
To view a sequence in a separate Timeline window:
In the Timeline window, drag the Sequence tab away from the window to an empty area.
To open a sequence in the Source view
Do one of the following:
•
In the Project window, press Ctrl and double-click the sequence item.
•
In the Timeline window, press Ctrl and double-click a nested sequence.
Nesting sequences
You can also insert, or
nest
, sequences into other sequences. A nested sequence appears
as a single, linked video/audio clip—even though its source sequence may 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. Moreover, you can nest sequences
within sequences—to any depth—to create complex groupings and hierarchies. 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. Nesting enables you to do
