CS4: Premiere Pro … Is it possible to drag and drop footage to create a new sequence automatically?
In this video:
https://library.creativecow.net/articles/devis_andrew/Creating-Custom-Sequences-2/video-tutorialand many like it I see people simply dragging their footage onto the new item icon and premiere automatically creates a new sequence for them with all the specs setup automatically for that particular footage.
I am running CS4 and I am wondering if this is available.
It doesn’t seem to work if I try but I am curious because I thought maybe there could be some special keyboard trick along with clicking I might be missing…
I am using an older iMac…. and most of the videos I have seen seem to be windows machines…
If this feature is not available in CS4, What are some recommendations for getting the sequence setup correctly? I am not a complete newbie but there are so many options in that dialog that I could use a sure fire method if there is one….
Thanks in advance,
Travis

Hi Travis,
No, this was a feature added in a later version (I want to say 5.5) but is not available in CS4.

bummer… but i kind of thought that… thanks for confirming that…
any recommendations for selecting all those options on the sequence menu… i know the frame rate and size but the other options seem daunting….
i would love to find a tut or something that would help me wade through it. Possibly there is a third party app that might help?

So… the title of this post doesn’t lend to this entirely(meaning I am not sure if you were looking for details about settings you will find this) but hopefully this will help others in search of answers for settings….
I found what I think is a good link here:
https://longzijun.wordpress.com/2010/06/14/premiere-pro-project-settings-for-hd-video/
The author states:
“Hopefully, you know the necessary information (resolution, pixel aspect ratio, TV system and scanning method) about your video files already. You can find these details in your camera’s specifications. If necessary, you can download a free multi-media analyzer like AVIcodec (https://avicodec.duby.info/).”
If I just really need to know (resolution, pixel aspect ratio, TV system and scanning method)… I can get that figured out…
I guess I was just curious what all I would need to know to make an informed decision about the settings in Premiere… I didn’t realize I only needed to know the things stated above. This article seems to offer some great advice….
Hope it helps….
