Copy setting to new sequence

I'm working on an HD project and when I copy the sequence and paste it in a new sequence where do make it the same settings? I went to settings and it looks like they are the same.

1) It's only been a few hours. Calm yourself.
2) You hardly gave any information to work off of. "HD sequence"? What kind of HD? What do you mean "copy the sequence and paste it in a new sequence"? Are you taking about nesting, or just duplicating clips? "I went to settings" is not quite a sentence.

Finished sequences is wrong timebase, cant copy paste into new sequence

I am coming onto a project finishing it for a first time editor and he cut 23.97 footage in a 29.99 seq, there are many time effects etc. I tried copy/pasting into a new seq but everything ends up in different places. I cant change my seq settings as it is grayed out, this is outside the realm of my experience any advice would be much appreciated! Cheers.

Different timebase...OOOCHIE! This is what people get for not paying attention, and what happens with the OPEN TIMELINE being able to edit almost any format. People don't see the RENDER BAR and just carry on...ugh.
Nothing to do but to copy and paste into a correct timebase, and manually close all the gaps. *****, but what you need to do. Been there....cleaning up after an editor.

Export work area to new sequence - how to ?

Good morning,
I have a piece of footage on my time line, which I would like to
export and put into another sequence, is this possible to do ?
thank you,
Dave.

Yes, various ways. Duplicate sequence, ripple delete fore and after, or just copy & paste to new sequence, or export and import.

Wrong sequence settings used on my timeline; can I copy the timeline to a new sequence with correct settings?

The clip properties are Frame size 1440x1080, 23.98 fps (yes a problem for FCE), Compressor: Apple Intermediate Codec, but unfortunately I did all of my hard work on a 30 minute film on a sequence that has SD settings (Frame size 720x480), 29.97 fps, compressor: DV/DVCPRO- NTSC. I first noticed there was a problem when I could only get the exported quicktime movie to appear as a 4:3 when it was supposed to be a 16:9. I have overcome that problem by exporting using quicktime conversion and customizing the settings to reflect the correct item properties of the original clips.
But my concern is that my project is still fundamentally based on a timeline that was created in a sequence with SD settings and that maybe I have lost some resolution quality. I am sitting here looking at the iDVD preview and I am not always sure it looks as sharp as the same clip viewed in FCE dropped in a sequence with the right settings. But maybe iDVD preview isn't as sharp, or maybe it's just myimagination. Any thoughts?
Ideally, what I would liketo do is to copy my timeline out of the first sequence with the wrong settings,and to copy it into a new sequence with the proper settings. But I am wondering if that timeline is now "infected" with the wrong settings,and brings these over to the new sequence. The guy on the Apple help linetold me this was unfortunately the case. Am I really going to have tocompletely do this work over again to get a completely correct workflow?
Any way around this?

Al,
very much appreciate your time on this. Hopefully just one more question. I am trying to figure out whether or not converting the tremendous amount of footage I have from this project shot in 24p will be worth it. In my mind, it is only worth it, if by not doing it, I will end up with a finished product that does not have as good of a picture quality. At this point, I dont care at all about having the 'film look' 24p is supposed to give you, I just dont the picture quality degraded somehow because FCE doesnt support 24p, and I am using a 29.97fps sequence to edit it.
So with all of that said, my question is this:
1. When you said before that when a clip hits a sequence it conforms to the properties of the sequence, what do you think is happening to the clip? For instance, if the clip in the Browser as you shot it has got 1440 pixels for every 1080 lines and you place it on a 720x480 sequence, is some of that information literally disappearing? That seems hard to believe. I would think that kind of conversion would require a program to execute it and some processing time, but the drag and drop on a sequence is instantaneous. And my HD footage on the SD sequence still seems to look better to me than my SD stuff, although that could just be perception. Same issue with the frame rate. When I drag and drop a 24fps clip onto a sequence set for 29.97 fps, how can the clip now have more frames per second? That would be additonal information that was never captured in the first place. How is that possible? I do believe that the clips are changed in some way that affects the output, but it doesnt seem possible that 'conforming' to the properties of the sequence is the same thing as if you shot the original footage with those sequence settings. Something else must be meant by that right?
2. Will converting the original clips in streamclip change the frame rate..them from 24p to 29.97? If they are still 24p, then don't you still run into the same problem when you edit in FCE? And if they are changed to 29.97, how is that better than just dropping them onto a sequence set to HDV 1080 29.97fps and having it conform to that? What exactly is the upshot of doing the streamclip conversion? Especially if I don't care about the 24p look now.

Copy Select Steps from Sequence to a new Sequence Programmatically

I have a sequence that calls a sequence file ( decided at run-time ) and when that sequence ( only 1 in this file ) has a step that fails it is stored in the external program. What I'd like to do is create a new sequence ( on the fly ), "extract" ( copy ) the steps that failed from the sequence I ran to the new sequence, and run the new sequence. 1. Best way to do that? 2. What happens to the preconditions, preexpressions, postexpressions of the steps when they're copied? Thanks.

Hi,
There is an example in the TestStand\examples\tools\ folder which should help you. Also in the Programmers Help.
There are some additional links which might also help (although these are for an early TestStand version):

You will need to use the Clone method rather than the NewStep and this should create a copy of your steps, including all the properties such as pre-conditions, pre-expressions etc.
also this example may helps, http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=330&message.id=2321&query.id=85838#M2321
but going a search in the forum will come up with other useful links.
Hope this helps

No xdcam-ex settings available when setting up a new sequence

Hello.
When I start a new sequence, I am missing the xdcam-ex setting. I've begun a project with footage shot from a Kodak Zi8 in 720p, and I can not find a setting that will agree with my footage. The closest I got was AVC-Intra codec, but it still didn't work very well. I hear that the xdcam-ex settings work the best with Kodak's .mov files, but I am at a loss on how to set up my sequence accordingly.
I use Premiere Pro CS4 and have installed all updates.
3.1 quad core processor
8gb ram
Windows 7
Thanks for the help!

Here is a link for the CS5 Clean Script.
The CS4 one is no longer there.
The script gets rid off all the stuff that most un-installs miss so you can install it fresh.

I wonder why ...(New Sequence set up)

Considering the excellent capability of CS5 to be able to 'Create a matching Sequence' to a clip when it is dragged onto the New Item icon...I wonder why one is still forced to go through the process of setting a Sequence up when initiating a New Project?
(I am aware that one can also create and use a Custom set up at that stage.)
Would be nice if that could be optionally bypassed straight into the application.

The workspace remembers which panels were open last time, including timeline panels, which is its job.
The project remembers which workspace was open, but not the specs of that workspace. If you were to close the timeline panels and then create a new sequence-free project, you would not see any timeline panels.
A force more powerful then Premiere controls the workspace behavior across many apps which all have different needs. "Premiere should keep track of open sequences at the project level" is perfectly valid but unlikely in the near future. I want to rephrase that:
edit: We do keep track of the open sequences -- if you have a sequence open, and reopen that project, that sequence will still be open, even if other sequences are in the same project.

Loss of quality when copying video from 1 sequence to a new one

Hi all, I've captured footage (SD 16:9) on one sequence and then exported a section of it into a new sequence, but there is a visible loss of quality, surely the actual media is the same.. only visual clue is that the "safe" outlines change to what could be 4:3 format even though the video itself still looks 16:9 in the new sequence..
Cheers
Dilip.

That's the odd thing they seem the same.. I've tried to out put to .mov files and the new sequence is compressed in to letter box, original looks ok?
Cheers
Dilip.,

Working in FCP6, open a project, sequence not showing ANY fonts from motion master templates. Start new sequence and they appear fine. Whats up with it?

So here's what I've got: one of the first gen Intel Macbooks with 2gb RAM, running a fresh install of FCS2, fully updated. I pulled out my external with my project on it (saved in the same version), that I keep my demo reel updated on. I've always used the motion text master template files to label each clip and for some reason, this round the text isn't appearing. Let me be clear just how weird this is: the template file will show up in the viewer, but any file set in this sequence will be blank. If there is any graphics to the file, IT shows up, but not the text. I opened up a new sequence and and first added a new master file to it, and it showed up on that sequence. I then went to the old sequence and copy/pasted the clips in it to the new sequence and the text shows up as well. What is up with the original sequence that is causing this issue??? Any thoughts? (unfortunately, my copy of Final Cut is a "Not for Resale" (NFR) so I can't call in for support.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Miro,
I was just experiencing a similar problem today. In my situation I was getting the diagonal lines and the new project wasn't actually being trimmed, it was the same size as the original with all of the media from the original project .
It turns out that even though I was selecting 3 specific sequences out of 20 the Project Manager was ignoring that selection, it brought over those 3 sequences but all of the media from the other sequences. I think this is what was creating the problem.
The trim unused media box (or whatever the check box says) was greyed out.
My solution was to create a new clean project and import the 3 sequences I wanted to create a new trimmed project from.
Then using the Project Manager everything worked as expected, the project was trimmed down and there were no diagonal lines. I unchecked the "rename media" option, not sure if that was necessary part of the solution.
This seems like a bug to me, we shouldn't have to create a new project, it's an extra unwanted step and clutter on our systems.
Hope that helps!
I'm on Mac 10.8.5 and Premiere 7.0.1, eagerly awaiting to update once the bug fixes to the bug fixes are fixed.

Copying Part of a Sequence

Hi
Not sure how to do this but I have a long sequence. The client wants to see a 2 minute segment from the middle of the sequence. I suspect I might need to copy out the 2 minute clip and composites (text boxes, etc) into a new sequence but how to select just the section I want to copy?
When I used to use Sony's Vegas Pro, I could just click and drag in the upper timeline bar to select everything.
How can I do this in FCP 6?
Then I have to put it on a DVD for them.
Thanks
Allen

There are a few things you can do:
To copy a portion of a sequence, use the Range Selection Tool (ggg). Paste the lifted segment into a new sequence.
Or, set in and out points in your sequence and Export. Only the footage within your I/O points will be exported.

Setting a new keyboard shortcut

I am trying to set a new keyboard shortcut. I named my New Set, chosen the Product Area, chosen the Command and tabbed to the New Shortcut window. When I try to type in the New shortcut, I can only get 1 letter typed in and then that shortcut pops up(if I try to type Ctrl, as soon as I type C I get a message C copy). Any ideas?
Thanks

Function assigned was swash
Product Area:Panel Menu
Commands:Character: Open type (swash)
Shortcut is Shift+Ctrl+Alt+M
as I follow in the lesson, using the type tool, the N is highlighted and then the keyboard shortcut is used and the N then has some added curlyques at the beginnig and at the end of the letter.
When I try, it deletes the N and gives the green sign (looks like the symbol for non-joiner with a period beneath it). Not sure why I would get this symbol when I try to insert a swash.

Is it better to create new sequences or new projects?

hello! i'm working on something where i have to take hours and hours of dvd videos and edit them into different parts and them export them with compressor for the web. My question is, when I'm editing these different segments that are about 30 minutes each, is it better to edit each one in the same project and make an individual sequences for each one or should i create a whole new project for each video? i don't want to make too many sequences if it's going to slow the computer down or something, I'm not really sure what to do here, thanks a lot for any help!

Make a separate project for each if they are meant to be self contained 30 minute movies.
When I work with multiple sequences, it is only to isolate a segment of a movie. The finished cut is copied into the master sequence.

How to use new sequence when one is reached its maxvalue in PL SQL code

Hi,
Currently, I am populating a unique product serial number in a table column using a sequence call to generate new number. For different products, I have different sequences and in my PL SQL code usiing IF..Else block I populate serial number for different products. For one most selling product sequence, we are reaching a Max value in production in a month and to make sure that application will continue to work fine for various end users without getting any error on their screens, I want my code to switch to new sequence automatically. I just need to add another if condition but my problem is how to find accurately when max value is reached for old sequence.
As call to old sequence can happen in different sessions there could be inconsistency and can end up at error. My new sequence value has to start with AV1000. Please suggest.
My old sequence look like this :
SEQUENCE Prd
INCREMENT BY 1
START WITH AS1000
MAXVALUE AS9999
MINVALUE AS1000
CYCLE NOCYCLE
CACHE 2
Order Yes;

Catch the exception and use your new sequence. But somehow, I'm not liking your alternative approach.

In/out markers being set in the sequence instead of source clip

Here's what's happening:
1) I open a clip in the source monitor
2) I set the in/out points of a subclip and drag it to the timeline, no problem
3) I scroll around in the source monitor, finding a new clip
4) I hit in/out and try to drag the clip from the source monitor
5) The original clip is dragged over and I notice that the in/out points were set on my sequence instead of my source monitor.
The issue seems to be that focus doesn't follow the mouse intuitively? The focused/highlighted window remains the sequence even if I'm actively scrolling around in the source monitor and even if I hit in/out keys while the cursor is in the source monitor window -- the only way I can get the source monitor to be the focus is if I explicitly click on it.
I've only recently upgraded after some time over in FCP-land, but I feel as though this didn't seem to happen to me in previous versions of Premiere. Is there a preference or anything I can do to enable this to work? Many thanks in advance if anyone has ideas.
I'm on OS X Mountain Lion.

the only way I can get the source monitor to be the focus is if I explicitly click on it.
That's normal. If you want to keep focus on the Source Monitor, use the Insert or Overlay Edit commands instead of dragging.

New sequence not conforming to clip settings

I'm using FCP 6.0.6. I've got some iPhone 3GS video clips (shot with the Super 8 app). When I create a new sequence, and then drag one of the iPhone clips to the sequence, the sequence does not conform to the low res iPhone settings. I've tried setting my FCP prefs to "always" and "ask" for auto conform. Neither is working--when set to ask, it doesn't ask, and when set to always, the sequence doesn't conform.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

It would make no sense to enlarge your clips to 1280x720.
The problem is your original material is not in a standard video size.
You might try converting it to ProRes422 while leaving the material in the 480x320 size. Make sure you convert the audio to 48khz as well.
Once converted, create a new sequence and drop one of the newly converted files into it. The timeline sequence should be adjusted to allow for realtime playback.
Good luck.
