My sequence setting is Custom. I watched many YouTube video's in that sequence setting was not custom. How to decide what should be the sequence setting?

Maha,

I use Custom exclusively. It is customizable, as the name suggests. It allows for changing the Video Preview codec so I can choose which codecs to render effects to. That way, I can achieve a nice smart rendering workflow. I use QuickTime > ProRes LT. To achieve the best Timeline performance (not yellow), you need the sequence settings and clip properties to match precisely. You need a fast enough computer to handle the formats for some formats.

 

Thanks,
Kevin

If Video Preview is not QickTime - error message

If Video Preview is QickTime - rendering.

Premiere will auto-select the 'closest' first-match from the Sequence settings list to the clip you tell it to make a sequence from. That's all those are ... a variety of potentially correct settings. And as soon as you change anything, the sequence changes from whatever it was to "custom".

 

Many users have a whole series of saved custom sequences they use for specific things. There's no need for the sequence to 'BE' something, as long as the settings fit the media you are working with.

You can see in this video in the timeline yellow line is followed by red line & my Sequence setting is custom. If I change the sequence setting I think I can render without error message. As this is a tutorial, I do not have any other information.

This is the clip of that tutorial. You can see red line turn into greeen line after rendering. In my case it shows error message.  


What are your Previews set to in the Sequence Settings dialog?

 

And ... again ... unless you are doing the 'smart rendering' previews are only a help for playback, not anything for exports.

I recommend using Media Encoder presets, Social Media, YouTube and whatever your frame size is.
