Setting up a sequence

Immediately after you create your project, you’ll see another dialog box prompting you to set parameters for your first sequence. Adobe Premiere Pro always assumes you want at least one sequence, so you are prompted to create one when starting a new project. Adobe Premiere Pro adapts video and audio clips that you put into a sequence so they match the settings for that sequence. Each sequence in your project can have different settings, and you’ll want to choose settings that match your original media as precisely as possible. Doing so reduces the work your system must do to play back your clips, improves real-time performance, and maximizes quality.

The New Sequence dialog has three tabs: Sequence Presets, Settings, and Tracks. We’ll start with Sequence Presets.
