Most often, it's best to choose one of the Sequence Presets that provide standard configurations for a variety of formats.

Here, you can configure the video and audio format of your sequence, such as video resolution, frame rate, color depth, audio quality, etc. In the menu bar, click File > New > Sequence.In this example, we edit everything in one sequence.

In Premiere, a sequence contains all the edits for a specific sequence of audio and video.Įvery Premiere project has at least one sequence. You can think of a sequence like a scene in a movie. The Project panel is where you manage the source media for your project: still images, movie clips, audio files, etc. In the lower-left of the Editing workspace, you see the Project panel. ( Window > Workspaces > Editing Windows: Alt+ Shift+ 5 Mac: Option+ Shift+ 5.) If not, click Editing in the workspace bar now.

If you are already in the Editing workspace, its name is blue.

In this project, we start in the Editing workspace, which focuses on assembling your media objects, called clips, in the sequence timeline. Each workspace offers you a different configuration of panels, each designed to help you work with your project differently.Ĭlick a workspace name to switch to that workspace. The Workspaces bar is located at the top of your window, under the menu bar. At the top of any workspace section, click a tab to display that panel. Each panel contains a different set of buttons, options, and information to help you edit your video. Your new project opens to a blank Workspace, divided into sections that contain Panels.

In the New Project window, enter a descriptive Name for your project, and click OK.

You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+ Alt+ N on a Windows computer, or Command+ Option+ N on a Mac. For example, you can create a new project by going to File > New > Project in the menu bar. In Premiere, there are usually several ways to do the same thing.
