Targeting: rough-edit-sequence in source monitor
Hi there,
I´d like to have a rough-edited sequence with multiple video- and audiotracks as the source for editing my main sequence.
I´d like to move over all the tracks to my main sequence, based on in- and out-points. Is this kind of workflow possible in Premiere Pro? I haven´t found a way to do this yet! I worked like this in Avid Media Composer, it was not a problem to target the tracks from the source to the tracks in the program.
thank you,

If I’m understanding correctly, you can use the PageUp/PageDown keys to jump between edits. The hotkey responds only to active tracks (hilighted on the left side of the timeline) so, for instance, if you only want to jump from video cut to video cut, deactivate all the audio tracks.
There isn’t a default hotkey to activate/deactivate tracks, btw, but I find it VERY useful, and much faster, to assign a hotkey for activating and deactivating. I use Cmd+Num1 to toggle Vid1, Cmd+Num2 for Vid2, etc; I also use Opt+Num1, Opt+Num2 for toggling Aud1, Aud2, etc. Saves me a ton of time.

Thank you Ben!
It´s is not quite what I am looking for. I want to have a sequence as a source in my source monitor and edit stuff from there into my “work”-sequence.
If I do so, I just get something like a compound clip. But I need to get the clips itself, like the are in the source sequence. I guessed that I might have to define how source tracks target to the “work”-sequence-tracks, but that seems to be not working.

I’ll take a stab and say that as a nested sequence is generating a final virtual result…
meaning that….loaded into the source viewer you can cut with it only as result tracks: V1 and Audio 1&2.
(as those are likely the only source tags you will see on the timeline)I think I know what you are looking for as discreet edit* used to function in much the same way you describe. When loading a nested sequence into the source viewer you have the option of taking the resulting tracks or the source tracks and map them to whatever destination you wanted. very handy.
all that being said, there is a keyboard shortcut in PPro so that from the timeline containing a nested clip, you can open the source sequence and have the play head parked in sync with the ftg being used on the destination timeline. This would make it somewhat easier to copy and paste from source timeline to the destination timeline, but still not as easy as you are looking for.
Maybe I’m overlooking something, but I don’t think I am.

Someone else was asking me this feature and the work around I could think of was the nested sequences although I have to agree it isn’t as efficient.

I wouldn’t even try without confirmation first. When I edited a sequence into a sequence in FCP all throughout an edit, it finally crashed fcp permanently. Called a friend “Oh FCP hates that, you are just nesting constantly into the new sequence.”
Unfortunately FCP is not like Avid AT ALL in that area. You have to copy and paste parts from one sequence into another and use target tracking to put them where you want. So unless I knew what would happen definitively in PP I wouldn’t do it.

I’m looking for exact the same thing. I also know it from AVID and my workflow kind of depends on that feature.
Let’s say I have 100 P2 clips – I don’t want to click them through clip-by-clip but pull them in one sequence and scroll through and paste them from there in my sequence.
How do you guys do that?
