There is one more place where Sequence Layers pops up.…Let's say you're going to create a new composition and you're going to do it by…dragging your sources to this New Composition icon.…If you know, you also will want to be sequencing those sources,…you can go ahead and select your multiple sources, say my multiple tulips here.…I'll select all of them, drag them to my New Composition icon, and I'll get some…options, including the ability to set the duration, such as 5 seconds a…duration, whether or not I want a Single Comp or Multiple Comp.…
I want them all in the Single Composition, and I want to sequence them, which I do.…Sequence Layers, Overlap.…I'll set a duration of just 1 second in this case.…Again they're full frame, so I'll Dissolve Front Layer. Click OK.…And a brand new comp has been created for me, where they all have been…pre-trimmed to 5 seconds, the duration I set. You see the duration here.…And they've automatically been sequenced to go through this nice crossfading.…So I've got a nice sequence of my flowers.…
