  Placing Nested Items Into your sequence

  Posted by Martin Sterling on January 10, 2006 at 4:02 pm

  I was wondering, I know Steve Martin had a technique for placing nest in your viewer and then being able to edit it into your timeline using the actual layer of the nest, not the Nest itself. Does anybody know wut I am talkin about.

  Thank U in ADVANCE

  Double-click on your nested sequence. Double-click on the layer you want and it will load into your viewer. Or, on the sequence, you can CTL-click and select to load in viewer.

  I’m not sure what you’re asking, but here’s a stab at an answer. When you nest a sequence (dragging the sequence from the Browser into the timeline of another sequence), FCP makes a single clip of that entire sequence that functions as any ordinary quicktime clip in the timeline. If you hold COMMAND while dropping the sequence you want to nest into the timeline, FCP will recreate the nested sequence, track for track (respectively, depending on where you place the nest), in the timeline – it’s basically like copying and pasting and entire sequence from one timeline to another, just a lot faster and more fun. I hope that helps.

  Best,

  Ben
