 Hello everybody welcome back to another Adobe Premiere Pro 2022 tutorial in this one I'm going to show you how to clean up a messy timeline or a convoluted or messy sequence now in this here I've got some a whole bunch of different random things in here I've got pictures I've got gaps between an image and a snippet of a video I've got an empty track up here at the top v4 is not being used audio 2 and 3 are empty a whole bunch of things here you can see the little gaps and stuff like that what you can do now inside of Premiere Pro is you can use there's new option called simplify sequence let me show it to you you want to go up here to sequence and then under sequence when you go down a little bit bottom to the bottom you'll see simplify sequence left click on that and then here's the important point this creates a duplicate sequence so this is non-destructive so you're basically creating a copy of the sequence and you can rename it so we'll just call this duplicate for for this tutorial sake and then you're going to notice a whole bunch of different options close vertical gaps on the tracks for example so the gaps between things we're just going to close it so it's going to basically ripple delete them and then you have a few other options so right now you can remove from both this is audio and video the empty tracks so for example the v4 track will disappear if we were to hit simplify as with the a2 and a3 you can actually not remove but you can simplify the graphics the transitions disabled clips all these other things I'm not going to go too far down that rabbit hole but when you left click on simplify watch what happens to the timeline it basically just closes up the gaps gets rid of all the empty tracks it it basically just simplifies the sequence or simplifies your timeline that's really all there is to a guys that's a adobe 2022 premier pro 2022 tutorial while it was a mouthful I've got a ton more stuff coming up stay tuned be back soon
