Creating new “sub” sequences from in and out points in a sequence
Is it possible to create a new sequence from a timeline in an open sequence? E.g. FCP lets you set in and out points on your footage in active timeline, hit command (apple) + u, and it automatically creates a new sequence in the project window using those in and out points.
Is there something similar in PP? (I’m using CS5)
Thanks.

Yes, you can nest one sequence inside of another.
See “Nest sequences”.

Hi Todd and thanks for the response.
Yes, I’m familiar with nesting sequences, however, I’m not looking to do that. I’m looking for a keyboard shortcut to create an entirely new sequence from in and out points on the timeline. E.g. say I have 60 minutes of footage, I scrub to 00:00:10:00, set an in point, go to 00:00:20:00, set an out point. From here, rather than creating a sub clip from the marked footage, I’d like to create another sequence that appears in the project window. Then, I scrub to 00:00:25:00, set an in point, scrub to 00:00:35:00, set an out point, and create another sequence from that.
Wash, rinse, repeat so that I have something like 250 sequences from that hour of footage.
I know–it’s unorthodox.

If you have a lot of interview footage that was shot dual-system, it seems better to sync it all up first, before you start cutting. This means lining up your video and audio in a sequence.
Other than rendering out the newly sync’d footage and then cutting that, what should the workflow in Premiere Pro be?
In Final Cut you can create sub sequences. Although these are not exactly like subclips, in that you can not adjust the outer boundaries of the clip, they do at least let you log and comment all your interview questions.
How should this work in Premiere? Same question applies to multi-camera shoots.
Thanks,

I’m sorry but your answer Adobe is not addressing the problem. “Nesting a sequence” is completely to creating a “sub sequence”. Adobe Premiere Pro lacks the sub-sequence feature that Final Cut Pro and Avid Media Composer have and editors swear by.
Adobe Premiere Pro, as well as Final Cut Pro & Avid Media Composer allows you to create sub-clips: https://library.creativecow.net/devis_andrew/Subclips/1
Adobe Premiere Pro does not allow you to create sub-sequences as explained here: https://www.lynda.com/Final-Cut-Pro-tutorials/Creating-subclips-subsequences/76335/86857-4.html
For Adobe to try and say that yes it does by “nesting” is wrong and misleading.
Nesting is described as: Putting one sequence inside another sequence is called nesting a sequence.
Sub-sequence is describe as: Creating a new independent sequence from an in and out range from an existing sequence.
I hope Adobe Premiere Pro brings this much need feature into its software soon!

Adobe doesn’t get it. We may as well be speaking Hindi! I can’t understand why it isn’t possible to make a sub sequence. I just want to pull a specific pre-edited section out of my old sequence (using an in and out point). Premiere doesn’t even copy and paste between sequences well.
-Avid fan for life!!

This was frustrating me as well while working on a long piece. I was trying to assemble two long multicam sequences into a container with separate bits for intro and outro clips and graphics.
It looks like In Premiere Pro CC you can accomplish adding in and out points to a sequence similar to those of a clip by dragging the sequence to the source monitor.
See the second half of the video on this page:
https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/how-to/premiere-pro-nesting-sequence-cc.htmlI am not sure if this works in other Premiere Pro versions.
Hope this helps!

Re: Using the source monitor to place in/out marks on the sequence. Thanks for the tip from the video! That had been killing me, and I had actually watched some of that video and never made it to the second half. I’ve got to be more patient.
