Duplicate and change sequence

Hello,

I hope you can help me. I want to duplicate/copy a sequence and title and then change it. But since the sequence panel only refer to the source material I tried to duplicate the sequence in my material, rename it and use it differently but the original sequence is always the same and Im unable to change the new sequence without changing the original sequence as well.

I tried copying the parts with Alt and Drag but that doesnt create a working copy (in order to change it and use it for other purpose).

Does someone know an answer?

My version is v13.1 Magician.

Thank you so much!

This is just another example of Adobe making life hard for no good reason.
Why, when you duplicate a sequence, does changes made in the duplicate sequence also change the original sequence?
How does this situation help anyone?

Now I want to delete mw own comment here but can't.
It seems the changes to the duplicated sequence doesn't affect the original now after renaming it several times....

As I said I wanted to delet my own comment...
But yes, it's being buggy, I was duplicating from within project.
And half the time double-clicking the Sequence in Project won't even open it in the timeline, I have to quit and re-open just to open a Sequence...

Ouch.

Have you closed, dumped all cache files, and relaunched? Or have you tried the old but often helpful trash preferences? (Trash Preferences)

New here to Premiere Pro and hoping you can help. I came upon this exact same problem and tried to walk through this video to no avail as well as many other suggestions online. Perhaps you may have a solution. I am using a template to make a photo slideshow video. The template only has 12 scenes with 12 placeholders for photos (all of which I've replaced). I want to make the video twice as long with twice as many photos. I tried your pancake suggestion, but when I drag the new scene with the new photo in from the editted project, it reverts back to the original placeholder. How do I make it link to a new placeholder? I obviously don't want a slideshow with the same photos twice. What am I doing wrong?

hello,

thanks for your question.
well I resolved this issue on the following way:

1. first copy the original sequence arrangement once again on the same timeline on your right side of the time line with selecting the arrangement and alt.
2. then duplicate the sequence in your browser and copy and paste the seccond arrangement in to this sequence.

I'm preparing a video tutorial specifically for this, and will share with all of you

on how to perfectly duplicate unique versions of sequences, even with

nested sequences inside. will be shared here as soon as possible

from the project panel, right click the sequence you wish to duplicate and select 'Duplicate'

I guess you are working on a template, if so, you can use the 'pancake' workflow technique

and save 2 versions of your project, the original template project and another for editing,

stack the timelines of the template project and the editing project above each other and

start dragging from the template project timeline to the project panel of your editing project,

this will create unique duplicates of the sequences. make sure to drag any nested sequences

as well, to have unique duplicates of those. This will leave the original project intact, and gives

you the freedom to work on your editing project, seeing everything on the timelines clearly,

and working seamlessly across projects ...

you can open 2 projects if you have pp 2018 and later

If you need any more help let us know please

Like that?

I saved another project with the templates and opened both simultaneously. If I drag the sequence from above ("Preview") into my other project ("sequence1") the part I want to use looks exactly like the earlier version I modified in that exact project. I can't change it without affecting the original.

It doesnt look like I created a duplicate that works on its own.
