A way to change default video preview setting from sequence settings?

hi there.

 

Whenever sequences are made(from clips or nest in timeline), I want Composite in Linear Color to be unchecked in Video Previews section in the sequence setting. 

 

 

Since I recently worked with hundreds of PSD files and thousands of layers in a single project file, some layers look very different between the original image in Photoshop and the imported footage in Premiere Pro. (layers whose opacity values are not 100%) and I figured out that when 'Composite in Linear Color' is unchecked in the sequence setting, it looks the same as in Photoshop. 

 

I believe there has got to be a way not to change every single setting of hundreds of sequences.

It'll work better. 

 

var numSeqs = app.project.sequences.numSequences;

for (i = 0; i <  numSeqs; i++){
    var c=app.project.sequences[i].getSettings();
    c.compositeLinearColor=0;
    app.project.sequences[i].setSettings(c);
}

To whom has the same issue like me,

I'm sharing a script that will change settings of all the sequences in the project.

Run this in Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CC

 

 

for (i = 0; i <  180; i++){
    var c=app.project.sequences[i].getSettings();
    c.compositeLinearColor=0;
    app.project.sequences[i].setSettings(c);
}

 

Good luck.

I'm moving this to the Premiere Pro Ideas forum since there is no way to change the default.

I agree that this should be an option.
