Setup Your Sequence Settings Properly in Premiere Pro 2021

[@mohossain]

Good video brother. Re Set to Frame size- I’d recommend changing it in Preference instead of manually changing it one by one. Edit > Preferences > Media > Default Media Settings > Set to Frame size

[@ChrisOlson2]

This is a good option. I used to use this, but for some reason I can't remember, I didn't like it.

[@nicknelson7817]

@@ChrisOlson2 For me I think I just found out why. If you're editing say for Instagram feed or Story size and you have 4k footage, it'll bring the footage in and set it to to the width of the sequence. However the footage once it's rotated is then smaller than the frame, and then needs to be readjusted back to the frame size, that's what just happened for my project

[@OvalRC]

Great video and very clear explanation. This really helped answer some questions I was having. Thank You!

[@marieo3646]

I just found your channel and it's amazing! I'm a total newbie here, but your videos are so easy and concise! One question, if I just need to add intro/outro to a bunch of videos, what is the best way to go about it? I have already created my own mogrt, but how would you easily replace footage (just one clip, small edit at in/out)? Could you please create a video where you show your workflow for repetitive work like that?

[@andytoshio]

Wow. Took me way too long for me to realize you had a Premiere Pro channel. Hoping to see more content on here soon!

Thanks very helpful! The preview settings are something I never payed much attention to as working in 1080P most of the time...but as I use more and more 4 K footage this will be useful.

[@AShortBiker]

Hello Chris, I have one doubt. I have 4K video can i set sequence in 1080 to edit and preview after that is possible to render in 4k, If can it still preserve the 4K quality.

[@lisapayton6979]

Great video! I'm not sure where to create the file folders you saved your preset to. I would love to see a video from you on how to set up the PP2021 workspace for beginners. Everyone's workspace looks different from mine.

[@vivian-ve]

I'm editing on windows on 2.7k timeline (2704x1520), should/can I still use the Preview File format 'Quicktime' with 'Apple ProRes 422 HQ'? Or are there better fits? Great video btw! Very helpful

[@hanaanrosenthal]

Great stuff - thanks! Getting my video groove back on!

[@Concraft]

you can actually set all clips to auto set frame size to fit if you’d like. i personally use it

[@xtremeheightsproductions]

Very good video and clear to understand. Thanks.

[@AndreasKungl]

Nice explainer. Would have been useful to specify what the choice of preview format does in terms of disk space usage. Also, and VERY IMPORTANT: If you leave the checkbox "Composite in Linear Color..." checked, it will screw up colors and perticularly transparency of AE compositions and MOGRTs that you might use. This should affect only the preview, but if you were wondering why something designed properly in AE suddenly looks crap in PP, that's the reason. AFAIK this is known by Adobe, a conscious choice and another chapter in the multiple volume book "Customers? Why should we care? Bells and Whistles for the shareholders!"

[@morganwisby9914]

What do you advise doing if I shot all my footage in 4k, however, I'm using Neat Video Home Edition which only supports up to 1080p not 4k? Should I change the frame size to 1080p so I can still use Neat Video for some of my clips?

[@JasmineApple]

Hi Chris, this is great info! And I have some questions. If my b-roll is 4k 60fps, but the a-roll is 1080 24fps, how does that affect the sequence settings? Do you set the sequence settings for the highest quality clip, in this case the 4k b-roll? Does it negatively affect the 24fps a-roll if the sequence settings are 60fps? My video from last week -- which looked soooooo good in-camera -- absolutely sucked because I had the wrong settings (I'm re-doing it now and will probably re-upload it). Thank you so much for this great info!

[@Pfagnan]

BEST EXPLANATION EVER!!!

[@juliebonne94]

Hello so basically the frame rate and resolution of premier pro sequence should match the resolution and frame rate of your video? I shot with 1080 30FPs so my sequence should be 29. Sth? Right? Thanks

[@bruceedwards7626]

Your video is most helpful. Thank you. But I do have an issue that I cannot seem to resolve. There is no button for saving my Sequence Setting preset. Why would that be?

hello chris, i just bought a new computer and I'm facing a really weird problem when I play back a clip in a sequence, it's not lagging, it is more like each frame has been corrupted, but it's as annoying as when a clip is lagging, I've done every solution related for fixing playback lag but has no effect on my problem. can you help me brother ?

[@LeandroAIe]

Hey Chris! I have just begun my journey of learning to edit on Premiere Pro and your videos are helping a lot. After watching the video, I am confused about a certain point. If I have a 4k clip and a 1080p sequence, why would I want to "Set to Frame Size" on that clip. If you want your export in 4k, shouldn't the sequence be initially set to the 4k settings?

[@ChrisOlson2]

Well, if you want to export 4k, then your sequence settings should be 4k from the start instead of 1080p :) You would only edit 4k footage on a 1080p timeline if you are planning to deliver 1080p.

It recorded fine but when I plug the SD Card in into the computer it seems that Sony put each shot and it's own folder so if I had 100 shots I would have to click on 100 folders to load my video into Premiere the video looks great but I need to learn how Batch Capture all in one take!

Check the audio tab before exporting and verify your settings. Perhaps you’re exporting in a lower quality.

Hi Chris, Thanks for great video. I was actually able to follow along and understand what you were saying. ;-)) One question - by mistake, I shot my A roll at 25fps and my B roll at 30fps. Should I just set 25fps when making my custom sequence? Thanks heaps. New sub here!

[@ChrisOlson2]

Definitely 25. Though it still isn’t ideal and the 30FPS footage might look slightly off. If you slow it down by 83% that’ll help though.

So if I have clips in anamorphic and standard 16:9 would I nest any clips shot in anamorphic and switch the sequence setting so that the footage is deesqueezed and won't look weird when put in the same timeline as the regular clips?

[@wouterwynen]

Hi, do you know how you can set a sequence framerate other than the ones in the dropdown? For example gopro 4/3 footage has a frame rate of 47.95 and I can't select that. I don't want to edit in 47.95, but would like to set nested sequences to 47.95 so they match the 47.95 footage and I'm able to use warp stabilization on them. Thanks!

[@beanhugger]

This is such an excellent video! So much information. I don't think this exact issue got addressed in the video but it's an issue I'm having: I created a 4k sequence and into that I put a 4k clip-source and sequence have exactly the same settings. But for some reason, the Program Monitor is zoomed in and I can't get it to display correctly, so I can't see fully what room I have when I'm editing. The Source Monitor shows everything correctly, and when I click into one of my nested clips, those also display correctly. But the main Program Monitor is zoomed in a bit. What am I missing?

[@ChrisOlson2]

Is your zoom level set too high in the program monitor? Inside that box you should see some numbers like 150% 200% etc. change it to “fit”

Thank you for this. Extremely helpful. Question, if I used a 1080p project setting with all 4K UHD /RAW files, is it possible to save the edited sequence and import it to this 4k sequence since all files and edits (maybe except the titles and transitions) are in 4K? I hope I’m clear. When I render the content it looks bad. Real bad in 4K. Thanks!

Hi! Great video! I watched it all but I have a question still. I would really appreciate some help here please: All my footage is 50fps. I created a sequence dragging the footage to the timeline so my sequence is also 50fps. The problem is that after editing I realized I need to export to 25 fps. If I change sequence settings at this point or export to 25fps the resulting video is a bit choppy. How can I solve this without having to edit all from scratch? Is there a way?

[@ChrisOlson2]

From the sounds of it, it only appears choppy to you hbecause you are cutting the frame rate in half after watching it in 50FPS so many times. 50FPS is going to appear much smoother than 25 overall. I've had this happen when I set my sequence settings wrong and I just went and changed the sequence settings from 60 to 24. Doesn't cause any issues.
