Cutting sequence into sequence question

[scorsesefan]

Coming from FCP7 and trying to get a handle on Premiere so please forgive the ignorance. I find Premiere much easier to cut seq into seq (no annoying C+F9 etc.) but one thing you could do in fc was mark your in/out in one seq on the timeline and drag that from the browser into the viewer and cut into another seq. I like that because you can get a better spatial sense of the seq. in the timeline then the viewer.

Anyone know how to do this in Premiere Pro CC?

Thanks

You can set your In and Out points in one sequence, hit Copy, and then Paste just that section into any other sequence. Is that what you were asking?

On a side note, proper terminology often helps understand the question. In Premiere Pro, the preview on the left is called the Source Monitor, the program on the right is called the Program Monitor. The only Browser is the Media Browser, which is used only for importing assets into the project. Once imported, those elements all appear in the Project panel.

All the various windows are labelled for easy reference.

Thanks, Simon. I am used to fcp terminology... no, I don't mean copy and paste, but doing a proper edit (overwrite, etc.) by loading a sequence that has already been marked in/out in the sequence into the source monitor and then back into another sequence.

That can sort of be done. You can load a sequence into the Source Monitor from the bin with a right click. Once in the Source Monitor, you can set In/Out points and then Insert or Overwrite just as you would any other clip. There is a toggle switch to the left of the magnet icon under the sequence timecode which determines if the sequence comes in as a nest or as individual clips.

The 'sort of' part is that any In/Out points you set in the sequence won't matter for the process. You need to set In/Out in the Source Monitor if you want to Insert or Overwrite from there.

Thanks, I had a feeling it couldn't be done from the sequence. Hope Adobe adds this in the future...

I hope they don't. That would violate how NLEs are suppose to work. Sequence In/Out have no correlation to clip In/Out points.

Not sure what you mean. What difference does it make if you mark your in and outs in the source monitor or the sequence and then load it into the source and cut it in?
