Tip: Generating slug in Premiere Pro
I know a lot of FCP editors coming to Premiere Pro are, like I was, missing the ability to generate slug for use as a placeholder or for other reasons.
Here’s one way to do it:
Create a blank title (right click in Browser and select “New Title”), leave it completely blank, and call it “Slug” in the Browser … and voila, you’ve got slug. You can Command-click (Mac) or Ctrl-click (PC) on the title to load it into the Source monitor like any other clip to mark ins and outs and adjust the duration.Not the most spectacularly awesome tip I know but I’m sure some current/former FCP editors who have been missing Slug could benefit from it.

Just go to File->New->Black Video (or Color Matte). Unless you specifically want text/logo and/or a transparent clip. You can rename it anything you want (either in the timeline or Project Window).
BTW – regardless of what option you use, If you nest it, you’ll also get an audio slug to match.
