This clip does not match the Sequence's settings. And look what happens when I take one of these clips and drag it into the Sequence I've just created.

Now creating a Sequence using a Sequence preset gives you the most control but it does mean you need to know the settings.

But if you have the characters selected as I do now and you press the Enter key on the numerical keypad that's over on the far end of the keyboard with the full numerical keys then it'll just apply that text. Just as a little footnote to this, you'll notice in the Project panel that if you have text selected and you press the carriage return key which is the Enter key to the right of the letters on your keyboard Premiere Pro tends to jump down the list selecting the next option. I'm going to click on the name of the Sequence that's just being created and let's give this a name. Choose a preset that matches your original camera material and click OK. I'm going to expand the Digital SLR category and I'm going to expand 1080p which is one of the settings that you can get in a DSLR camera and I'm going to choose this one DSLR 1080p30. The settings for Sequences in Premiere Pro are based on camera formats rather than output formats. and this brings up the New Sequence dialog. I'm going to go into the list and choose Sequence. I'm going to create a new Sequence in this project by clicking at the bottom of the Project panel on this New Item menu. You'll want Sequence settings to match your clips to minimize conversion and maximize playback quality. When you add clips to a Sequence their frame size and frame rate are automatically adjusted to match the Sequence, so everything will play smoothly.

Just double click on the Premiere Pro project file itself to open it in Premiere Pro. You can find that with the media associated with this lesson. For this lesson, I'm using the 03_01 Create a new sequence.prproj file.
