Okay, here's how you change the name of your timeline (which is called a sequence) in Adobe Premiere Pro, based on the provided information and standard software practice.
To change the name of your timeline, known as a sequence in Premiere Pro, you primarily work within the Project panel. This panel is where all your media files, graphics, and sequences are organized.
Steps to Rename a Sequence
The simplest way to rename your timeline involves locating it in the Project panel and using one of the standard renaming methods.
Here's a breakdown:
- Open the Project Panel: Ensure your Project panel is visible. This is typically where you import and manage all the assets for your video project. The reference points out you change the name "over here in the project bin."
- Locate Your Sequence: Find the timeline (sequence) you wish to rename within the Project panel. Sequences are easily identifiable by their unique blue icon. As mentioned in the reference, "You can tell a sequence by this little blue icon. If you hover over it you can see it says sequence." Look for this specific icon next to the name of your timeline.
- Select the Sequence: Click once on the sequence's name or icon to select it.
- Rename the Sequence: Once selected, you can rename it using one of these common methods:
- Method 1: Click and Type: Click once on the sequence name to select it, then click again slowly on the name itself. The name will become editable.
- Method 2: Right-Click (or Control-Click) and Rename: Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (macOS) on the selected sequence. From the context menu that appears, choose the "Rename" option.
- Method 3: Use the Rename Keyboard Shortcut: Select the sequence and press the Enter key (on Windows) or the Return key (on macOS). This will make the name editable.
- Type the New Name: Enter the desired new name for your timeline/sequence.
- Confirm: Press Enter or Return again, or click away from the name field, to confirm the change.
Renaming your sequences helps keep your project organized, especially when dealing with multiple timelines for different parts of your video or different versions.
