  • Renaming Nested Sequences / Copying and pasting

    Posted by Mike Cohen on May 20, 2013 at 8:57 pm

    When you select content on a sequence and right-click “nest” you get the expected nested sequence as a clip on original sequence and it opens a new sequence with the contents. This is fine and works great.

    If you try to re-name the nested sequence in the bin however it does not update the sequence/clip name where that original nested sequence was created. Thus you need to delete the nested sequence from its original location and re-insert it with the new name. Not a big deal but kind of annoying.

    Anyone else find this annoying?
    Fixed in CS7?

    Another annoyance is, if I copy something off a sequence, and want to make a new sequence and paste this content onto it (not a nesting situation), I need to first make a new sequence, then go back to my content I want to copy, copy it, switch sequences, and hit paste.

    In other Adober applications, indeed in the rest of the known computer world, you can “copy, new, paste.” In premiere you need to “new, copy, paste”.

    Annoying?
    Just me?

    Long time user, infrequent complainer!

    Cheers.

    [Mike Cohen] “If you try to re-name the nested sequence in the bin however it does not update the sequence/clip name where that original nested sequence was created”

    You have a “Nested Sequence Name” dialog on Premiere Pro CC.

    [Mike Cohen] “if I copy something off a sequence, and want to make a new sequence and paste this content onto it (not a nesting situation), I need to first make a new sequence, then go back to my content I want to copy, copy it, switch sequences, and hit paste.”

    I would approach it differently. Right click the clip and choose > Reveal in Project. Then, in the Project pane, right click on the clip and choose > New Sequence from Clip

    Would that work for you?

    Thanks,
    Kevin
