Creating Sequences and Editing 167

2 A new sequence with a default, highlighted name appears at the top level of the current bin.

Type a new name for the sequence to rename it.

The settings associated with the preset are copied into the sequence settings for the new

sequence. You can modify most of these settings by selecting the sequence in the Browser

and choosing Settings from the Sequence menu.

To open a sequence for editing:

m Double-click the sequence in the Browser or select the sequence and choose Sequence

Editor from the View menu.

The sequence opens in both the Canvas and the Timeline.

To move the view of a sequence’s Timeline:

1 Select the Hand tool.

2 Drag back and forth in the Timeline.

Alternatively, use the Zoom slider at the bottom of the Timeline to scale and scroll the

Timeline view.

Changing the Settings for an Existing Sequence

The Sequence Settings dialog box contains all pertinent information on the selected

sequence, such as the codec (type of compression/decompression method used), frame size,

frame rate (or editing timebase), and so on.

To view and modify the settings for a sequence:

1 Select the sequence in the Browser, Timeline, or Canvas and choose Settings from the

Sequence menu.

Important For best results, make sure that the sequence’s editing timebase matches the

frame rate of your source media before editing into the new sequence. If the editing

timebase does not match the frame rate of the source media, you will need to render the

sequence.
