Choose Window > Workspace > Color Correction.
Note that you have a new video panel: the Reference Monitor.
10
Click the Reference Monitor panel menu, and choose All Scopes.
These are three Waveform Monitors and a Vectorscope (in the upper-right 
corner). For decades, broadcast TV engineers have used these to ensure that 
TV signals meet standards (that is, they don’t get too bright or have too much 
contrast).
As you ramp up your color-enhancing skills, you might want to use them for 
that reason as well as to adjust color. To learn more about them, choose Help > 
Adobe Premiere Pro Help, and then open Applying Effects > Vectorscope and 
Waveform Monitors.

LESSON 16
Working with Color, Nested Sequences, and Shortcuts
A
nested
sequence is a sequence in a sequence. You can break your project up into 
more manageable chunks by creating a project segment in one sequence and drag-
ging that sequence—with all its clips, graphics, layers, multiple audio/video tracks, 
and effects—into another sequence. There it will look and behave like a single 
audio/video clip.
One great way to take advantage of a nested sequence is to apply color correction 
to a long sequence with multiple edits. Instead of applying that effect to each clip 
in turn, you simply place—
nest
—that sequence in another sequence and apply a 
single instance of that effect to it. If you want to change the effect parameters, you 
can then do it on one nested sequence clip, rather than changing each clip in that 
original sequence.
Nested sequences have many other uses:
t
They allow you to apply an effect or effects to a group of layered clips. That 
saves having to apply effects to each layer, one at a time.
t
They simplify editing by creating complex sequences separately. This helps you 
avoid running into conflicts and inadvertently shifting clips on a track that is far 
from your current work area.
