Question

Editing mode affect on export

I have forgotten or this is new. I have footage that is 1920x1080 59.67 fps. Also footage that is the same but 60fps.

Today I made a sequence differently than I usually do and when I add a clip to the sequence I am asked if the sequence settings should be made to conform to the clip.

So, now looking at other sequences, my main timeline sequence has editing mode 10 frames/second aside from other settings and another sequence has editing mode 60 frames/second.

For the 10 frames/second sequences, have I been making destructive edits to the clips by using 10 frames/second? Or does the editing mode matter if I export as 1920x1080 60fps?

    The sequence frame rate does matter.  All media will be played back at that frame rate, regardless of the media frame rate or export settings.

    I am confusing myself because of the wording. "sequence settings" is at least 3 different things. And, now that I am writing I notice the word "timebase" in "editing mode" I've found where it is explained clearly in the documentation

    Settings

    The editing mode does not determine the format of your final movie.

    and

    Timebase Specifies the time divisions Premiere Pro uses to calculate the time position of each edit.

    Just make sure the sequence settings match the overall footage.

    Then you will be fine.
