Hi there

New to Premiere from Avid - is there a timeline for the source window..? As in, is there a way to switch between the composer / sequence window timeline and the source window timeline..?

Any help appreciated..!

Many thanks

    • Drag a sequence into the source monitor
    • in the source monitor window
    • Click on settings
    • Select 'Open Sequence In Timeline'

    In here under 'working with nested sequences';

    Switch from Avid Media Composer to Premiere Pro |

    You need to take a look at the pancake method of editing:

    Using the Pancake Timeline in Adobe Premiere Pro - YouTube

    This Technique will CHANGE the way you EDIT! (How to use Pancake Timelines) (Premiere Pro CC 2017) - YouTube

    There are other tutorials out there.

    Thanks Meg

    That's a great tip..! Works well.

    What would be amazing would be to get one timeline in the source window and one timeline in the destination / composer window.. 

    Cheers

    Did you ever figure out how to mark in mark out on your source timeline, and cut a bit of the "source" timeline into your "program" timeline?

      The source panel plays/loads only one clip at a time.

      The playhead at the bottom of the panel is the "timeline" for the selected clip.

      Hi there

      Thanks for the reply.

      I can drag a sequence into the source window and scrub through that sequence etc - I just can't seem to see it's timeline..

      Thanks for the info- I never knew about or tried loading a sequence into the source window.
