To create color bars and a 1-kHz tone
You can create a one-second clip containing color bars and a 1-kHz tone, as a reference for calibrating video and
audio equipment.
❖ IntheProjectpanel,clicktheNewItembutton atthebottomoftheProjectpanelandchooseBarsAndTone
from the menu that appears.
Note: Some audio workflows must be calibrated at a specific tone level. The default level of the 1-kHz tone is 012 dB
referenced to 0 dBfs. You can customize the tone level to match your audio workflow by choosing Clip > Audio Options >
AudioGainwithaclipselected.IfyouselectthebarsandtoneclipintheProjectpanel,yousetthedefaultgainlevelfor
new clip instances. If you select a clip in the Timeline panel, you change the level for that clip instance only.
To create black video
Empty areas of a track appear black if no other visible clip areas are present on underlying video tracks. If necessary,
you can also create clips of opaque black video for use anywhere in a sequence. A black video clip is a still image at
the project frame size, with a five-second duration. To create a clip of a different color, use a color matte (see “To
create a solid color matte” on page 368).
❖ In the Project panel, click the New Item button at the bottom of the Project panel and choose Black Video
from the menu that appears.
To create a transparent video clip
You can use transparent video to apply effects to an empty track.
❖ In the Project panel, click the New Item button at the bottom of the Project panel and choose Transparent
Video.
Multiple sequences
To use multiple sequences
A single project can contain multiple sequences. All the sequences in a project share the same timebase, which
defines how Adobe Premiere Pro calculates time, and which cannot be changed after you create the project.
• To set the default settings for new sequences, with the Project panel active, choose Project > Project Settings >
Default Sequence, and specify the number and type of video and audio tracks.
• To switch sequences, in the Program Monitor or in the Timeline panel, click the tab of the sequence you want to
use. The sequence becomes the frontmost tab in both panels.
• To view a sequence in a separate Timeline panel, drag the Sequence tab away from the panel to an empty area.
• To open a sequence in the Source Monitor, press Ctrl and double-click the sequence in the Project panel. In the
Timeline panel, press Ctrl and double-click a nested sequence.
To create a new sequence
1 Do one of the following:
• Choose File > New > Sequence.
• In the Project panel, click the New Item button and choose Sequence.
