What's a Sequence?

Working with Multiple Sequences" later in this chapter.)

Creating a new sequence

A new project created in FCE automatically generates a new, untitled sequence in your default sequence format.

Note that you probably won't need to change Sequence presets unless you change your audio or video input device. Final Cut Express selects an Easy Setup with your default preset based on setup information you supplied when you installed the program. See "How to Choose an Easy Setup" in Chapter 3.

To add a new sequence to the current project:

Choose File > New > Sequence; or press Command-N.

A new sequence with a default, highlighted name appears at the top level of the current folder (Figure 4.48 ).

Figure 4.48. A new sequence with a default, highlighted name appears in the current folder.

Type a new name for the sequence to rename it (Figure 4.49 ).

To open a sequence for editing:

Do one of the following:

Figure 4.50. Double-click the sequence's icon in the Browser to open it for editing.

Control-click the sequence's icon; then choose Open Timeline from the shortcut menu.
Select the sequence; then choose View > Sequence in Editor.
The sequence opens in both the Canvas and the Timeline (Figure 4.51 ).

Time Stamp for Sequences

The Last Modified column in the Browser makes it easy to find the most recently revised version of your sequencea real lifesaver when you're returning to a project after a long absence.

To duplicate a sequence:

Select the sequence in the Browser (Figure 4.52 ).

Figure 4.52. Select the sequence in the Browser.

Choose Edit > Duplicate (Figure 4.53 ); or press Option-D.

Figure 4.53. Choose Edit > Duplicate.

In the Browser, rename the sequence copy with a unique name (Figure 4.54 ).

Tip

The copy procedure described here is a convenient way to "safety copy" a version of a sequence and associated media files after a long rendering process. With a safety copy of the rendered sequence, you can feel free to experiment with changes that could cause a re-render, because any changes you make to the duplicate sequence will not affect the original sequence or its render files.

To copy a sequence from one project to another:

Select the sequence in the Browser.

Choose File > Copy; or press Command-C.

Open the second project and select its tab in the Browser.

Choose File > Paste; or press Command-V.

The sequence now appears in both projects. The two copies of the sequence reference the same source media files on disk, but you'll need to re-render any previously rendered sequence material in the new project location.
