  Shortcut – make sequence from clip?

  Posted by Jimmy Brunger on February 6, 2008 at 9:56 am

  Hi all,

  I was wondering if there’s a quick way in PPro to make a sequence from a clip in your bin? Ideally I want to be able to just use a key shortcut to make a sequence based on the clip’s attributes, including clip name, etc. Like when you make a new comp from a clip in After Effects.

  Is there any way to do this? It’s mainly for quicker workflwo for making MPEGs via Media Encoder.

  Currently I have to drag the clip into an open sequence, reset the work area to fit and then copy+paste the clip name from the bin to the output filename in the encoder.

  Obviously batch encoding would be great in the AME, but that’s just a pipedream!

  Thanks for any advice.

  I would like such an ability, but because all sequences are made on the ‘locked’ project settings you can’t have a new seq made of a different set of properties to the project.
  If you want to do what you explained, why don’t you use AE? It will do it and you have adobe media encoder there too. You can set up a Render Queue to process heaps of comps one after the other.
