  applying edits in a nested sequence to its source clips..?

  Posted by Jocelyne Chaput on July 19, 2009 at 8:00 am

  hi
  i’m wondering if it’s possible to apply the edits I make in a nested sequence to the original video layers. For example, if I cut out 8 seconds in the middle of a nested sequence, is there any way to have final cut apply that same edit to each layer in the original sequence?

  thanks!

  No, but if you go to the original sequence and make the cut there it will be updated in the nest.

  All the best,

  How do I control how it affects the sequence it’s nested in?

  For example…if I trim the outpoint of the last clip in a PSD sequence…it pulls the video back in my main sequence, kicking my audio of out of alignment. Does that make sense?

  I’m an AVID editor learning FCP and it really is different!
