To create a sequence, you need to import media files into your project. This might

include video footage, animation files, narration, music, atmospheric sound, graphics,

or photos. Everything you include in a sequence must be imported before it can be

used.

Any item included in a sequence will always also be included in the Project panel.

Importing a clip directly to a sequence automatically adds the clip to the Project panel,

and deleting a clip in the Project panel removes it from sequences it appears in (you’ll

be given the option to cancel if you do this).
