Nesting question
I haven’t had a hugh need to nest sequences but for a recent project it became advantageous. I was wondering one thing. Is there anyway to make PPro use the preview files from the original sequence or do you have to always create preview files from the nested sequence? My original sequences were pretty effects laden and trying to work with them un-rendered was/is a real pain.

The hack is to find the actual render file and import that in as a clip. You could then lay it on the top layer of the nested sequence as a placeholder.
It’s not very practical though.If you nest, open the nested sequence, and render there, then your main sequence should be using the render from the nest and not require you to render again.

Brian,
What? Nesting = taking several layered clips and collapsing them into one editable clip on the timeline
Why? beacue it makes some complex effects easier to build. Rather than having to animate several seperate elements, you nest and animate the one…
How? CS3 and earlier: make a new sequence, cut and paste the clip you want to nest on to that sequence. then edit that new squence back to your original sequence. In CS4 an newer, select clips, right click, NEST.
Hope that helps,
Alex
