WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.645 --> 00:00:03.670 The next thing we're going to do is create 2 00:00:03.670 --> 00:00:05.108 a new sequence. 3 00:00:05.108 --> 00:00:07.298 To create a new sequence I'm going to show you 4 00:00:07.298 --> 00:00:09.921 a very easy way right now and then later on 5 00:00:09.921 --> 00:00:12.888 I'll follow it up with more details. 6 00:00:12.888 --> 00:00:16.636 Pick the video that is going to be the most popular 7 00:00:16.636 --> 00:00:20.174 or the most used type of video in your sequence. 8 00:00:20.174 --> 00:00:21.902 For example, I have an interview clip. 9 00:00:21.902 --> 00:00:25.389 I also have broll that has all types of footage. 10 00:00:25.389 --> 00:00:28.289 While all this footage matches, you might not have 11 00:00:28.289 --> 00:00:30.725 footage for your own project that matches 12 00:00:30.725 --> 00:00:32.615 the frame rate, the frame size, 13 00:00:32.615 --> 00:00:34.131 maybe you have some 4k footage, 14 00:00:34.131 --> 00:00:37.605 maybe you have some regular 1920 by 1080 footage. 15 00:00:37.605 --> 00:00:41.261 Pick the video clip that is going to be used the most. 16 00:00:41.261 --> 00:00:44.029 For me, it's going to be my interview clip. 17 00:00:44.029 --> 00:00:45.957 So I'm just going to take this clip 18 00:00:45.957 --> 00:00:49.213 and literally just drag it onto this new item button. 19 00:00:49.213 --> 00:00:51.897 This one that looks like a post-it note. 20 00:00:51.897 --> 00:00:54.638 What happens is a new sequence pops up, 21 00:00:54.638 --> 00:00:57.563 our footage is added to the timeline already 22 00:00:57.563 --> 00:01:00.785 and the sequence settings for this timeline match 23 00:01:00.785 --> 00:01:02.286 our video clip. 24 00:01:02.286 --> 00:01:05.166 If you go up to Sequence, Sequence Settings, 25 00:01:05.166 --> 00:01:07.875 you'll see all the settings, the frame size, 26 00:01:07.875 --> 00:01:09.972 the frame rate, the audio settings. 27 00:01:09.972 --> 00:01:13.906 This matches your video footage and that's what you want. 28 00:01:13.906 --> 00:01:15.726 You don't want a mismatch. 29 00:01:15.726 --> 00:01:18.277 So when you're choosing which video to use, 30 00:01:18.277 --> 00:01:22.444 just remember, use the video that's going to be used most 31 00:01:23.290 --> 00:01:25.705 in your video sequence. 32 00:01:25.705 --> 00:01:27.756 Now we have this timeline. 33 00:01:27.756 --> 00:01:29.427 Let's just go over the basic rules 34 00:01:29.427 --> 00:01:31.290 of what this timeline does. 35 00:01:31.290 --> 00:01:33.976 We have our video tracks up here, 36 00:01:33.976 --> 00:01:35.330 our three video tracks. 37 00:01:35.330 --> 00:01:38.853 Then we have our three audio tracks down here. 38 00:01:38.853 --> 00:01:42.352 We can move a video clip or audio clip around 39 00:01:42.352 --> 00:01:45.736 by dragging up or dragging down to a new track 40 00:01:45.736 --> 00:01:48.774 or moving to the left or right. 41 00:01:48.774 --> 00:01:51.160 We see at the top we have our time. 42 00:01:51.160 --> 00:01:54.043 We have our timeline indicator that we can click and drag. 43 00:01:54.043 --> 00:01:57.702 This is this blue little line in there. 44 00:01:57.702 --> 00:02:00.147 We can zoom into our timeline. 45 00:02:00.147 --> 00:02:02.469 Down here we have this slider that slides 46 00:02:02.469 --> 00:02:03.987 along the timeline. 47 00:02:03.987 --> 00:02:08.263 At the end, if we click the end and drag in or out, 48 00:02:08.263 --> 00:02:10.168 we can zoom in. 49 00:02:10.168 --> 00:02:14.155 You can also press the plus or minus key buttons 50 00:02:14.155 --> 00:02:16.889 that are to the left of the delete key on a Mac 51 00:02:16.889 --> 00:02:20.702 or to the left of the backspace button on a PC 52 00:02:20.702 --> 00:02:25.128 and that zoom in and zoom out of your timeline. 53 00:02:25.128 --> 00:02:27.143 There's still a lot of buttons in this timeline 54 00:02:27.143 --> 00:02:29.811 that we haven't covered yet, but we will be covering 55 00:02:29.811 --> 00:02:31.214 all the things that you need to know 56 00:02:31.214 --> 00:02:33.093 throughout the rest of the lessons. 57 00:02:33.093 --> 00:02:35.295 Now I mentioned before that this was the easy 58 00:02:35.295 --> 00:02:37.154 to create a new sequence. 59 00:02:37.154 --> 00:02:39.129 If you think you've got it and you just want to know 60 00:02:39.129 --> 00:02:41.515 this easy way, you can go ahead and skip on 61 00:02:41.515 --> 00:02:44.600 to the next lecture and the next practise activity. 62 00:02:44.600 --> 00:02:46.038 But for those of you that want a little bit 63 00:02:46.038 --> 00:02:48.810 more information, let's get going. 64 00:02:48.810 --> 00:02:52.023 You can instead of dragging into this new item button, 65 00:02:52.023 --> 00:02:54.695 just click New, Sequence. 66 00:02:54.695 --> 00:02:59.144 You could also go up to File, New, Sequence, 67 00:02:59.144 --> 00:03:02.512 and this will pop open the new sequence module 68 00:03:02.512 --> 00:03:04.672 where you actually can choose 69 00:03:04.672 --> 00:03:06.621 the sequence settings yourself. 70 00:03:06.621 --> 00:03:08.909 There are three tabs, your sequence presets, 71 00:03:08.909 --> 00:03:10.711 settings and tracks. 72 00:03:10.711 --> 00:03:12.874 The sequence presets, these actually have 73 00:03:12.874 --> 00:03:15.871 some presets for different types of cameras 74 00:03:15.871 --> 00:03:17.352 and different types of shooting 75 00:03:17.352 --> 00:03:19.473 that might match what you want. 76 00:03:19.473 --> 00:03:23.640 For example, maybe you shot with a digital SLR, a DSLR. 77 00:03:24.526 --> 00:03:28.068 And you shot at 1080 24 frames per second. 78 00:03:28.068 --> 00:03:30.647 You might just want to select that preset. 79 00:03:30.647 --> 00:03:33.241 Maybe you shot on a red camera. 80 00:03:33.241 --> 00:03:37.174 They have lots of different red preset settings. 81 00:03:37.174 --> 00:03:38.835 So that's one way to do it. 82 00:03:38.835 --> 00:03:41.558 Or you can choose your settings yourself, 83 00:03:41.558 --> 00:03:42.984 customise it. 84 00:03:42.984 --> 00:03:46.975 Go to the Settings tab, drop down to Custom 85 00:03:46.975 --> 00:03:50.501 under Editing mode, then you can go through everything. 86 00:03:50.501 --> 00:03:53.065 The time base, what's your frames per second, 87 00:03:53.065 --> 00:03:55.565 23976, 29997, your frame size, 88 00:03:57.557 --> 00:04:01.042 1920 by 80 or is it 1280 by 720. 89 00:04:01.042 --> 00:04:05.892 Make sure that it matches how you shot your footage. 90 00:04:05.892 --> 00:04:10.138 Pixel Aspect fields display, these will all stay the same. 91 00:04:10.138 --> 00:04:12.826 Audio Sample rate, 48,000 hertz. 92 00:04:12.826 --> 00:04:14.806 That's typically what you want to choose. 93 00:04:14.806 --> 00:04:18.119 Display Format, audio samples is good. 94 00:04:18.119 --> 00:04:22.412 Video Previews, all of this will typically stay the same 95 00:04:22.412 --> 00:04:25.738 except if you have a smaller frame size, 96 00:04:25.738 --> 00:04:30.443 say 1280 by 720, you might, this will change as well 97 00:04:30.443 --> 00:04:33.061 to match your frame size. 98 00:04:33.061 --> 00:04:35.487 At the bottom you can rename your sequence. 99 00:04:35.487 --> 00:04:38.904 So if you have a documentary version one, 100 00:04:40.846 --> 00:04:42.698 you might want to call it that. 101 00:04:42.698 --> 00:04:44.770 And last is the tracks. 102 00:04:44.770 --> 00:04:47.419 This is where you number how many video 103 00:04:47.419 --> 00:04:49.690 and audio tracks you want. 104 00:04:49.690 --> 00:04:51.653 The standard is set to three. 105 00:04:51.653 --> 00:04:53.717 We have three video tracks up here 106 00:04:53.717 --> 00:04:55.504 and three audio tracks. 107 00:04:55.504 --> 00:04:57.955 We can add audio tracks later on. 108 00:04:57.955 --> 00:05:00.455 It's very easy, I'll show you in just one second. 109 00:05:00.455 --> 00:05:02.744 When you're done and you're happy with your settings, 110 00:05:02.744 --> 00:05:04.284 just click okay. 111 00:05:04.284 --> 00:05:08.079 That will open up a new timeline right here 112 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:12.074 and the sequences also show up in your project panel 113 00:05:12.074 --> 00:05:12.907 over here. 114 00:05:13.927 --> 00:05:16.483 I mentioned adding new audio tracks 115 00:05:16.483 --> 00:05:17.848 and video tracks. 116 00:05:17.848 --> 00:05:21.153 When you have a video clip on your timeline, 117 00:05:21.153 --> 00:05:23.956 you can literally drag it up into the empty space 118 00:05:23.956 --> 00:05:27.876 above the tracks to create a fourth audio track 119 00:05:27.876 --> 00:05:30.016 or a fifth one or a sixth one, 120 00:05:30.016 --> 00:05:32.002 and same with the audio. 121 00:05:32.002 --> 00:05:34.137 I think I said audio before, but that was video. 122 00:05:34.137 --> 00:05:35.304 This is audio. 123 00:05:36.333 --> 00:05:38.302 So those are some more advanced tips 124 00:05:38.302 --> 00:05:41.138 for creating a sequence that has 125 00:05:41.138 --> 00:05:43.421 the perfect settings if you have something 126 00:05:43.421 --> 00:05:46.737 that you don't want to match your camera. 127 00:05:46.737 --> 00:05:48.876 Typically though you want your sequence settings 128 00:05:48.876 --> 00:05:51.616 to match exactly what you shot as, 129 00:05:51.616 --> 00:05:53.849 so just do the easy way of dragging 130 00:05:53.849 --> 00:05:55.308 into this new item button.
