view timeline when sequence is loaded in Source Monitor
Hi,
Premiere 17.1.2 11.1.2 (22) buildI’m new to premiere and would like to do something I often do in avid.
I’d like to be able to load a string-out sequence into the Source Monitor and then make selects from that sequence onto the sequence in the Program monitor, WHILE SEEING THE the timeline layout of the string-out in the Source Monitor. The reason I’d like the extra visual of the Sequence in the source monitor is that it would offer more flexibility in navigation to different parts of the sequence loaded in the source monitor. At the moment I am making my selects from the string out either by “copy pasting” which I find a bit cumbersome, or by editing from the stringout to a select sequence without the timeline visual from the sequence in the source monitor, which I find frustrating at times for source navigation reasons. Any suggestions? -

I think you’d be well served to set yourself up in the Pancake editing mode. Open your string out timeline and then move it on top of your main timeline by grabbing the source timeline name tab and moving it down until you see a darkened horizontal bar across the top of your main timeline. You should now have your source timeline string out on top and your main timeline underneath it.
Scroll through your source timeline, add edit cuts to the shot you want to add to your main timeline and then drag that clip down to your main timeline. Make your source timeline settings the same as your main timeline so that when you drag the clip down to the main timeline the image fits into the new timeline without any need to resize.

Right click on sequence in Project window: open in source monitor.

I had the same question! The pancake editing suggestion looked intimidating, but the answer was included in that tutorial. Load the sequence in the Source monitor, click on the wrench icon directly under the Source monitor, and select “Open Sequence in Timeline.”

I have also come from an Avid background and love that way of editing. It took a while but you can load your select sequence into the timeline and then hit the wrench icon (bottom right of source monitor) and hit load sequence to timeline. You can cycle through both timelines with Shift, 3.
