如果您要同时将大量媒体放入时间轴，您可能会为编辑项目制作的视频长度有时会让人感到不知所措。组织剪辑的一种方法是使用所谓的序列。
在Adobe Premiere Pro中，序列是主项目中的较小视频项目。这是一种组织较长视频中的场景、创建视频的不同“草稿”或将一系列连接的视频保存在一个地方的方法，而无需开始一个全新的项目。
序列可能看起来令人生畏，但一旦你知道它们是如何使用的，它们就可以成为任何视频编辑器的绝佳工具。
如何创建序列(How to Create a Sequence)
打开Premiere(Premiere)项目并准备好视频后，制作新序列就很容易了。以下是创建序列的方法。
- 导航到项目(Project)中的“项目”面板。
- 右键单击，选择New Item，然后选择Sequence。
- 在“新序列”(New Sequence)窗口中，选择与您用于在项目中拍摄视频的相机最匹配的预设。选择确定(OK)。
- 新序列应出现在时间线面板中。然后，您可以将新视频添加到该序列中。
如果您不确定要选择哪种序列设置，可以选择其中任何一种。如果您添加的剪辑不匹配，您可以让Premiere调整序列设置以自动匹配剪辑。
创建序列的另一种方法是使用您拥有的剪辑，Premiere将根据剪辑选择序列设置。
- 在“项目”(Project)面板中 找到要创建新序列的剪辑。
- 单击并将剪辑拖动到“新项目”(New Item)选项中。
- 将使用剪辑的设置创建一个新序列。
这是一种使用与您的剪辑匹配的序列设置创建新序列的简单快捷方式。但是，有时，您可能希望在添加剪辑时保留相同的序列设置，您可以通过在看到弹出窗口时 选择保留现有设置来做到这一点。(Keep Existing Settings)
如何组合序列(How to Combine Sequences)
如果您想将所有序列放在一个单一的时间线中，也可以这样做。当您刚刚完成对序列的编辑，并希望将它们放入主序列中以保持内容井井有条时，这样做是件好事。
这个过程称为嵌套(nesting)——因为您实际上是将一个序列“嵌套”到另一个序列中，以将它们组合为一个视频。以下是如何执行此操作：
- 确保(Make)您已插入和覆盖序列作为嵌套或在时间轴中启用的单个剪辑。然后找到您要使用的第一个序列，选择它，然后右键单击它，然后选择Nest。
- 为序列命名，记住这将是其余剪辑嵌套的序列。
- 转到您要嵌套的下一个序列，右键单击并选择Nest。然后选择嵌套序列并将其拖到您的主序列中。
- 嵌套序列后，您会看到它变为绿色。当您双击嵌套序列时，原始序列将出现，如果您愿意，您可以从那里 继续编辑它。(continue to edit it)
组合所有序列后，作为一个整体依次播放所有视频或场景会容易得多。
如何编辑和删除序列(How to Edit and Delete Sequences)
如果您使用的是序列，了解编辑它们的来龙去脉也很重要。例如，您可能想要更改某些设置或删除不需要的序列。
编辑序列(Editing Sequences)
要编辑序列的各个方面，请导航到Premiere的顶部栏并选择序列(Sequence)。您将看到一个选项下拉列表，供您更改顺序。
在顶部，您可以选择序列设置(Sequence Settings)以直接更改它们。这只会更改您选择的序列的设置，因此在进入设置并更改它们之前，请确保您选择了正确的设置。
子序列(Subsequences)
您还可以创建所谓的子序列，其功能与嵌套序列非常相似。它们不会以任何方式更改您实际时间线上的剪辑，而是在您的项目面板中单独创建。去做这个：
- 在您的时间线中找到您希望制作为子序列的剪辑。
- 右键单击它并选择制作(Make)子序列
- 子序列将出现在“项目”(Project)面板中。
嵌套序列将从您的序列中获取所有剪辑并将其更改为嵌套。您只需双击嵌套即可再次编辑剪辑(edit your clips)。
删除序列(Deleting a Sequence)
如果您决定不再需要时间轴上的序列，则可以很容易地删除它们。
- 选择(Select)序列中的所有剪辑，然后按Backspace将其删除。
- 在时间线的顶部找到序列标题，然后单击它旁边的小x 。这应该从视图中删除序列。
- 如果您将序列嵌套在其他地方，您仍然可以双击它以再次在时间轴中打开它。
- 要删除嵌套序列，只需在时间线中选择它并点击Backspace即可。
在 Adobe Premiere Pro 中使用序列(Using Sequences in Adobe Premiere Pro)
一旦您掌握了使用序列的窍门，当您有漫长而艰巨的项目时，它们可以作为您工作流程中非常强大的工具。它提供了一种很好的组织方法，可以帮助您保持一切正常，而无需创建额外的Premiere项目。
希望本指南可以帮助您了解序列在Premiere中的工作原理，并且您可以开始在自己的编辑项目(editing projects)中使用它们。
How to Create and Combine Sequences in Adobe Premiere
The length of a video you may have for your editing project might feel overwhelming at times if you have a lot of medіa tо put into уour timeline at once. One way to organize your clipѕ can be to use what are called sequences.
In Adobe Premiere Pro, sequences are smaller video projects within your main project. This is a way to organize scenes in longer videos, create different “drafts” of your video, or keep a connected series of videos all in one place without having to start an entirely new project.
Sequences may seem daunting, but once you know how they’re used they can be a great tool for any video editor.
How to Create a Sequence
Making a new sequence is easy to do once you have your Premiere project opened up and your videos ready to go. Here’s how to create a sequence.
- Navigate to the Project panel in your project.
- Right click, select New Item, and choose Sequence.
- In the New Sequence window, select the preset that most closely matches the camera you used to shoot the video in your project. Select OK.
- The new sequence should appear in the timeline panel. You can then add new videos to this sequence.
If you’re not sure what kind of sequence settings to choose, it’s okay to choose any of them. If the clip you add doesn’t match, you can have Premiere adjust the sequence settings to automatically match the clip.
Another way to create a sequence is by using a clip you have, and Premiere will choose the sequence settings based on the clip.
- Find the clip you want to create a new sequence within your Project panel.
- Click and drag the clip into the New Item option.
- A new sequence will be created using the clip’s settings.
This is a simple and quick way to create a new sequence with sequence settings matching your clip. Sometimes, though, you might want to keep the same sequence settings when you add a clip, and you can do this by selecting Keep Existing Settings when you see the pop-up window.
How to Combine Sequences
If you want to put all your sequences together into one, single timeline, it’s possible to do this as well. This is good to do when you’ve just about finished editing your sequences, and want to put them into a master sequence to keep things organized.
This process is called nesting – as you’re essentially “nesting” one sequence into another to combine them as one video. Here’s how to do this:
- Make sure you’ve inserted and overwritten sequences as nests or individual clips enabled in your timeline. Then locate your first sequence you want to use, select it and then right-click on it, and choose Nest.
- Give the sequence a name, keeping in mind that this will be the sequence the rest of your clips are nested into.
- Go to the next sequence you want to nest, right-click and select Nest. Then select the nested sequence and drag it into your master sequence.
- When a sequence is nested, you’ll see it change to a green color. When you double-click on a nested sequence, the original sequence will come up and you can continue to edit it from there if you wish to.
Once all your sequences have been combined, it’s much easier to play all your videos or scenes sequentially, as a whole.
How to Edit and Delete Sequences
If you’re using sequences, it’s also important to know the ins and outs of editing them. You may, for example, want to change some of the settings or maybe delete an unwanted sequence.
Editing Sequences
To edit aspects of your sequences, navigate to the top bar in Premiere and select Sequence. You’ll see a drop-down of options for you to change in your sequence.
At the top, you can choose Sequence Settings to directly change them. This will only change the settings of the sequence you’ve selected, so make sure you’ve selected the right one before going into the settings and changing them.
Subsequences
You can also create what are called subsequences, which function very similarly to nested sequences. They will not alter the clips on your actual timeline in any way and instead will be created separately in your Project panel. To do this:
- Find the clip in your timeline you wish to make into a subsequence.
- Right-click on it and select Make Subsequence
- The subsequence will appear in the Project panel.
A nested sequence will take all the clips from your sequence and change it into a nest. You’ll just have to double-click on the nest in order to edit your clips again.
Deleting a Sequence
If you decide you no longer want a sequence on the timeline anymore, it’s very easy to delete them.
- Select all the clips within the sequence and hit Backspace to delete them.
- At the top of the timeline find the sequence title and click the small x beside it. This should remove the sequence from view.
- If you’ve nested the sequence somewhere else, you can still double-click on it to open it in the timeline again.
- To delete a nested sequence, simply select it in the timeline and hit Backspace.
Using Sequences in Adobe Premiere Pro
Once you get the hang of using sequences, they can act as a very powerful tool for your workflow when you have long, arduous projects. It provides a great method of organization and helps you keep everything straight, without having to create extra Premiere projects.
Hopefully, this guide helped you get a grasp on how sequences work in Premiere and you can start utilizing them in your own editing projects.
