Creating a sequence of video files
You can assemble a simple series of video files using the Sequence window. The Sequence
window is easier to use than the Timeline, so it can be useful for building a fast rough cut or
for assembling a series of finished video files without recompressing. When you compile a
video using the Sequence window, additional compression is not applied. Each individual
video file of the sequence retains its codec settings and frame size. Compilation is relatively
fast, without the image degradation that can result from recompressing data.
A sequence can contain only untrimmed source clips arranged in a specific order. Clips are
processed exactly as they are; no additional editing is possible in the Sequence window.
For complete control over clips, create a video program in the Timeline.
To build a new sequence:
1 Choose File > New > Sequence.
2 Import clips into the Sequence window using one of the following methods:
• If a Project, Bin, or Library window is open and contains clips, drag the clips you want into
the Sequence window.
• Choose File > Import and choose a command from the Import menu. Locate and select the
files or folder you want to import, and click OK.
3 In the Sequence window, drag to arrange the clips in the order you want.
4 Choose File > Save As, specify a location and filename, and click OK.
