Setup Your Sequence Settings Properly in Premiere Pro 2021

In this video I cover everything you need to know about sequences settings in Premiere Pro 2021. Sequence settings are something that people frequently get wrong or don't give much thought to which can cause issues like choppy playback, black bars, low resolution previews, and more.

Good video brother. Re Set to Frame size- I’d recommend changing it in Preference instead of manually changing it one by one. Edit > Preferences > Media > Default Media Settings > Set to Frame size

Thank you Chris, learned editing years ago on Avid, switched to Premiere for the 4K short film I just shot, and your assistance has been invaluable.
