Method Specifies the type of edit to perform. Choose Insert Edit to add clips to the sequence starting at the
sequence’s current time using insert edits, which shift existing clips forward in time to accommodate the new
material. Choose Overlay Edit to use overlay edits, which allow the new material to replace clips already in the
sequence.
Note: The Automate To Sequence command disregards target tracks and always uses the lowest available video and
audio tracks. For example, if video1 and audio1 are locked, it will automate to video 2 and audio 2.
Clip Overlap Specifies the duration of the transition and how much to adjust the clips’ In and Out points to
compensate for it when Apply Default Audio Transition or Apply Default Video Transition is selected. For example,
a value of 30 frames trims the clips’ In and Out points 15 frames at each edit, where a 30-frame transition is added.
The default value of this option is 15 frames. A pop-up menu lets you set the units to frames or seconds.
Apply Default Audio Transition Creates an audio crossfade at each audio edit, using the default audio transition
(defined in the Effects panel). This option is available only when audio tracks are present in selected clips, and the
Placement option is set to Sequentially. It has no effect when the Clip Overlap option is set to zero.
Apply Default Video Transition Places the default transition (defined in the Effects panel) at each edit. This option
is available only when the Placement option is set to Sequentially, and has no effect when the Clip Overlap option
is set to zero.
Ignore Audio Ignores the audio in clips selected to be automated to the sequence.
Ignore Video Ignores the video in clips selected to be automated to the sequence.

Mixing clip types in a sequence
You can mix clips with different frame rates, frame aspect ratios, and frame sizes in the same sequence. For example,
if you drop an HD clip into a sequence in an SD project, the clip will be letter-boxed and scaled to the SD frame size
automatically. Similarly, if you drop an SD clip into a sequence in an HD project, the clip will be pillar-boxed
automatically.
In the timeline, a red render bar will appear above any clip with attributes not matching the project settings. The red
render bar indicates that those clips will have to be rendered before final output. However, it doesn't necessarily
indicate these clips can't be previewed in real-time.
A clip with a frame rate different from the frame rate of the project will play back from a sequence at the frame rate
of the project.
Note: Project settings are applied to all sequences in a project.
Add a track while adding a clip
❖ Drag a clip from the Project panel or Source Monitor into the blank space above the topmost video track (for a
video or linked clip) or below the lowest audio track (for an audio or linked clip). Adobe Premiere Pro adds an audio
track, a video track, or both, depending on the content of the source clip.
Note: If the sequence doesn’t have an unlocked track of the correct media type (for example, a stereo audio track for a
stereo source clip), a new track is created to accommodate the clip.
