Any time you want to use that preset, just create a new sequence and select it, and it will be set up as you indicated. You can then go to the Tracks tab and specify the number and type of tracks you'd like in your preset, and then click the Save Preset button. Simply select a sequence preset as sort of a baseline, and then click on the Settings tab where you can tweak the settings as you like: Premiere has a "Custom" editing mode that allows you to completely customize the frame size, frame rate, and other parameters. If you want, you can go to File > New > Sequence and create your own custom sequence preset. So even though there isn't a specific ProRes editing mode, you don't have to worry about it-just plunk your footage into a sequence that matches the footage parameters (which you can see, the New Sequence from Clip operation did) and edit away.

The Editing Modes are simply shortcuts to certain sequence parameters, like frame size, frame rate, and field order. I see your concern I'm guessing that you're talking about the Editing Mode appearing as AVCHD? Practically speaking, you can edit any kind of footage that you can import in any kind of sequence in Premiere. You can also select multiple clips and do the same, and it will create just a single sequence but put all selected clips into it.īut here's the thing: When I create a new sequence the way you suggest, and then check my sequence settings.

or you can right-click a clip and select "New Sequence from Clip." Whichever you do, Premiere will create a sequence that matches the parameters of your source footage, and drop the clip into it. That's a piece of cake: just drag one of your clips to the New Item button at the bottom of the Project panel:

When I import ProRes footage, I can't seem to match the sequence-settings as I would in FCP? (You might want to read this article at ProVideo Coalition by some guy: Native Format Editing in Adobe Premiere Pro) You should be able to encode to ProRes, again assuming that you're on a Mac-there are no ProRes exporters for Windows. No need to re-encode your footage: just import and go. Since it is a QuickTime codec, and one that is not handled natively by Premiere's importers, you'll be working in a 32-bit process, but Premiere will still work just fine with it. I use it frequently (typically just the 422 variant), and I'm even on a PC-I'm assuming you're on a Mac. We edit, and output, all our material in Apple ProRes but how does that work in premiere?
