FAQ
Find out what you need to edit in Sequence, how to work with your team, and how to hand off a cut for review or finishing.
Common questions
Do I have to replace Premiere Pro, Avid, or Resolve?
No. Cut and review together in Sequence, then finish in the tools you already use.
Export OpenTimelineIO or Final Cut Pro 7 XML for picture, or AAF for sound. Use Shuttle on Mac to relink your footage.
Most effects and keyframes stay in Sequence. Timeline import isn’t available yet.
Can Sequence run on-premises?
No. Sequence runs in the cloud and streams playback to your browser. On Mac, Shuttle lets you open cloud project files from Finder.
What media formats can I import?
Bring in common video, audio, and image files. Sequence keeps your originals and makes proxies for playback, including for RED R3D.
Sony X-OCN, Blackmagic RAW, Premiere Pro and After Effects projects, HEIC, and SVG aren’t supported yet.
Can two editors work on the same timeline?
Yes. Cut together on one live timeline without locking bins. Edits save as you go. Follow a teammate’s view or revisit an earlier cut with Time Travel.
Where is our footage stored?
Your footage lives in your cloud project and streams to your browser.
Who can see our footage?
Workspace and project roles control who can see your footage. Admins can let people with approved email domains join the workspace.
Who owns the content I upload?
You keep ownership of your content, subject to the rights you grant under the Terms of Use.
Can my team try Sequence for free?
Yes. You can start with a free Team trial. Pricing has the current details.
Can I edit on Windows?
Yes. On Windows, edit in Chrome or Edge.
Do I need to stay online to edit?
Yes. Playback streams from the cloud. If your connection drops during an edit, your changes sync when you reconnect.
Can clients review a cut without joining the project?
Yes. Anyone with a public Screening link can watch without an account. Reviewers sign in to comment when comments are enabled. Downloads are limited to project editors.
Private Screenings are for project members on eligible plans. Screenings don’t offer passwords or watermarks yet.
What can Snippy do?
Ask Snippy to organize footage, find selects, sync angles, or assemble the clips you choose. Review and refine its work in your shared project.
How is Snippy usage charged?
Snippy counts toward your workspace’s AI usage. See Pricing for current details.
Who needs a seat on my team?
Everyone in your workspace needs a seat, including Guests. Give freelancers Guest access to specific projects. Clients can watch a public Screening without a seat.
Can I finish a cut in Sequence?
Yes. Cut multicam, mix sound, grade, and add captions in Sequence. Fades use keyframes. Transition presets aren’t available yet.
For a dedicated color grade or mix, export a timeline package to your finishing app.
