I'm making a compilation video using clips from already existing hollywood movies.  The movies are mostly 720p .mp4's.  Which preset should I select when I start a new sequence?

    Do this to create a sequence that matches your footage:

    How do I choose the right sequence settings?

    Thank you but I'm not sure how you got to that screen shown in the picture.  If I try and create a new project or a new sequence it immediately asks for the preset I would like to use to match my footage.  If there's another way to get there can you explain a little more?  Thank you so much.

    When you launch Premiere and create a new Project, it asks you

    if you want to choose from a list of Sequence Presets... just skip that step

    by hitting Cancel, import your media, then do what is shown above.


    Okay, thanks.  So if I load 30 movies into my project but I only want to work with 2-3 minutes from each film.  How can I extract those clips without moving the whole movie into the timeline and cutting it there?  Can I make smaller files of the scenes I need and then remove the complete films from the project?
