Note
You may need to click the Navigate Up button to see the Theft Unexpected bin.
Note
If you already have a sequence open, new sequences open in a new panel in the same
frame.
1. In the Theft Unexpected bin, drag the clip Excuse Me (not Excuse Me Tilted) onto the New
Item button at the bottom of the panel. You may need to resize the Project panel to see
the button.
This is a shortcut to make a sequence that perfectly matches your media.
Premiere Pro creates a new sequence, with the same name as the clip you used to create it.
2. The sequence is highlighted in the bin, and it would be a good idea to rename it right away.
Right-click the sequence in the bin and choose Rename. Name the sequence Theft
Unexpected. Note that the icon used for sequences in both List view (seen here) and Icon
view is different from that used for clips.
You can zoom into the sequence, with its single clip, using the navigator at the bottom of the
Timeline panel. To see a thumbnail on the clip, increase the height of the V1 track by dragging
the dividing line between the V1 and V2 tracks in the track header area (where the track controls
are located).
Tip
You can use the Timeline panel Settings menu to choose Minimize All Tracks or
Expand All Tracks to change the height of all tracks in a single step.
The sequence is automatically open, and it contains the clip you used to create it. This works for
our purposes, but if you had used a random clip to perform this shortcut (just to make sure you
had the right sequence settings), you could select it in the sequence and delete it by pressing
Delete (macOS) or Backspace (Windows).
Close the sequence by clicking the X on its name tab in the Timeline panel.
