Sequence length
Hi all, I have looked and searched around to see if you can set sequence length like in AE. I know you can hit the \ key but im working on a 30 sec tv spot and new to Premiere so I was just wondering if you can…. Thanks

Hi Charles,
Premiere only has work area options.

So can I trim to work area like AE?

Yes, the work area bar is above the timeline. You can drag it or Use “Alt+[” and “Alt+]” to set in and out work area points to your CTI.

technically what you see happening in AE is the work area comp length makes the full view of the timeline absolute to a set length. That is not how PPro is designed to work.
Hitting the “\” key (backslash) will zoom out to what is known as the 80/20 view, whereby the edited sequence fills 80% of the timeline panel and the last 20% remains open to add more media to.
So technically the answer is No it won’t work like AE.
When you hit backslash key again it remembers the last set zoom in and applies that amount of zoom to wherever the CTI (Current Time Indicator/AKA: Playhead) is placed so a quick zoom out new CTI position and zoom back will give fast responsive workflow with detailed editing along “longer” projects without needing to zoom out out out out, move Playhead, zoom in in in in in.
