Project manager has multiple sequences with the same name

Report · May 26, 2023

When I'm about to collect my files on the Project manager I notice that it has multiple sequences with the same name to choose from even though my project only has one sequence. Which sequence should I choose on the project manager, or should I choose all of them?

Are sure that they are sequences?

Did you have more than one project open?

Only one project

Victor,

The easiest explanation is that you have more than one sequence. So test that a bit further.

If you double click on one of the sequences, does it open in the timeline? If so, and you double click on another one, does it open as another sequence in the timeline?

Does the sequence that opens in the timeline have actual clips or does it have a single clip with the name of the sequence (i.e. a nest).

One way to get a sequence with the same name is to drag a sequence in the project panel to the new icon. It results in a new, nested sequence, but with the exact same name as the sequence. If you right click a sequence in the project panel and pick "duplicate," you get a new sequence, named [old name] + "Copy 01" and the contents are the actual clips.

Hi Stan,
I'm experiencing the same problem.
I have a bin with my sequences. Each sequence opens as a new sequence on it's "own timeline". There are clips in it, no nests.
However, in project mananger, each sequence is listed roughly 16 times!

I think something broke in the deepest darkest parts of the project file.

I just tested something, which worked:
Create a new project, saved it in a different location, copied everything in the old project (project panel>ctrl-a>copy) and pested it in the new project.
Then, I closed the old project, and I went to the projet manager in tje new project, and there was a clean list of sequences.

FUDGE! I just re-opened the project and it was broken again.... :S

Heh, I tried the same approach and had no luck. Sometimes it creates even more sequences than before! I've experienced this with other Premiere projects as well, so I don't think it's specific to one project only. Also no nested sequences, but I do use Audio Remix tool.

I have the same issue and no solution. I have three sequences in the project and one of them is copied over multiple times. Cleaning the cache, restarting Premiere and even recreating the project from the start didn't solve the issue. Were you able to find a solution?

Maryna,

Did you try the tests I described?

A possibility is that they are copies and that you have the Project Panel column width for name narrow enough that you do not see the whole name.

Let us know.

Hi Stan,

All my three sequences open in the timeline, the three main ones aren't duplicates. When I tried renaming my sequences, it did not rename the duplicates in the Project Manager window (all the blurred names are duplicates - they don't have "Copy" in their names). The duplicates do not show up in the project when I search, and I'm unable to open them from the Project Management window. The screenshot only shows 4 of those, but I have 6 duplicates in this window. All of them are duplicates of Sequence A.

Thanks,

Maryna
