Sequence Create

Category: Pr Sequences

Creates a new sequence and returns its sequence reference through `storeResultIn` when that variable is set. The stored value is a sequence ref string ending in `::SEQ`, not a boolean success flag. The newly created sequence becomes the active sequence in Premiere, but later blocks should prefer the stored sequence ref for deterministic follow-up work. Use `targetBin` when the created sequence should be moved into a specific bin. If `targetBin` points into another open project, the sequence is created in that target project instead of the currently active one.

Inputs

Input	Required	Value Kind	Types	Enum Values
name	yes	expression	—	—
presetPath	no	expression	—	—
targetBin	no	expression	—	—
onError	no	expression	enum-string	STOP, CONTINUE, RETURN_FALSE
storeResultIn	no	variable-name	—	—

Notes

• Creates a new sequence and makes it the active sequence in Premiere.
• storeResultIn stores the created sequence ref string (for example Project.prproj\New Sequence::SEQ), not a boolean success flag.
• Prefer using that stored sequence ref directly in later blocks instead of relying only on the active-sequence side effect.

Examples

Create Sequence From Local `.sqpreset` Path

Creates a sequence from a fixed local `.sqpreset` path. This stays visible as the canonical local-path counterpart to the portable embedded-preset example, and its runtime check confirms that the unusual 2000x1000 frame size really came from the preset.

Place Multiple Source Ranges From One Clip

Creates an empty sequence, then fills it with three explicit source ranges from one clip while verifying the original project-item in/out gets restored afterward.

Create Sequence And Reuse Its Ref
