Show Name Only Displays the name of audio clips without waveforms. Note: For information about viewing and adjusting keyframes in video and audio tracks, see "View keyframes and graphs" on page 415. Resize the track header section ❖ Position the pointer over the right edge of the track header (where track names are listed) so that the resize icon appears, and then drag the right edge. The icons at the top of the track header limit its minimum width. The maximum width is about twice the minimum width. Adjust visible area of video and audio tracks 1 Either in the track header area on the left or between the scroll bars on the right, position the pointer between the Video 1 and Audio 1 tracks. 2 When the height adjustment icon appears , drag up or down. Create a sequence In many cases, you want to create a sequence that matches the characteristics of the primary assets (clips) that you'll be editing. You can create a sequence that matches the characteristics of an asset by dragging the asset to the New Item button at the bottom of the Project panel. You can also create a sequence by using a sequence preset. The sequence presets included with Premiere Pro include the correct settings for common types of assets. For example, if you have footage mostly in DV format, use a DV sequence preset. If you plan to specify lower quality settings for output (such as streaming web video), don't change your sequence settings. Instead, change your export settings later. For information about learning the parameters of your assets, see "Selecting a sequence preset" on page 147. When all the parameters of your assets do not match all the settings of any preset do one of the following. In the Sequence Presets tab of the New Sequence dialog box, • select a preset with most settings matching the parameters of the assets you want to edit, then select the General tab (called the "Settings" tab in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and later), and customize the preset so that its settings match the asset parameters exactly, • without selecting a preset, select the General tab of the New Preset dialog box. Select Desktop from the Editing Mode menu (called "Custom" in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and later), and customize the settings on the General tab until they match the parameters of your assets. If your computer has a capture card compatible with Premiere Pro, the Available Presets list shows presets optimized for the card, in some cases. The sequence settings must be correct when you create the sequence. Once a sequence is created, some sequence settings, such as the timebase settings, are locked. This locking prevents unwanted inconsistencies that could result from changing sequence settings later. 1 Do one of the following: • Select File > New > Sequence Last updated 1/16/2012
