For most operations on the Timeline panel, you will use the standard Selection tool ,
which you will find at the top of the Tools panel. There are several other tools that serve
different purposes, and each tool has a keyboard shortcut. If in doubt, press the V key—this
is the keyboard shortcut for the Selection tool.
You can zoom in and out of the sequence using the = (equals) and – (minus) keys (at the
top of your keyboard). Use the \ (backslash) key, if your keyboard has one, to toggle the
zoom level between your current setting and to show your whole sequence. You can also
double-click the navigator at the bottom of the Timeline panel to view the whole sequence.

If your keyboard doesn’t have dedicated = (equals) and – (minus) keys, it’s easy to create
new keyboard shortcuts. See Lesson 1, “Touring Adobe Premiere Pro CC,” for more
information about setting keyboard shortcuts.

The Tools panel includes a number of tools you’ll use while working in the Timeline panel and Program Monitor.

There are a series of buttons at the top left of the Timeline panel that give you access to
alternative modes, markers, and settings.

What is a sequence?


A sequence is a series of clips that play one after another—sometimes with multiple blended
layers and often with special effects, titles, and audio—making a complete film.


You can have as many sequences as you like in a project. Sequences are stored in the Project
panel, just like clips, and have their own icon.


Let’s make a new sequence for the Theft Unexpected drama.


Tip
As with clips, you can edit sequences into other sequences, in a process called nesting.
This creates a dynamically connected set of sequences for advanced editing workflows.
