    In legacy? A nested composition was an actual sequence. It’s only referred to as nested when the sequence resided within another sequence.

    I used them all the time since version 1.3. What was so problematic or confusing?

    Fort me the fact that when you selected “nest sequence” it was not called nested sequence in the browser seemed to throw me a bit. I don’t know why I just never quite felt comfortable with it in the way I do with Compound Clips but you have just given me the best explanation I ever got.

    [Ronny Courtens] “You can put them in a nest to group them, but when you apply video or audio effects to the nest and then you break the nest apart again you also lose all the effects.”

    Exactly. Technically *every* clip is a compound clip. The effect is applied to its “container”. Delete the container, you delete the effects. As long as you know that, you can simply use the Paste Attributes to reapply them after the detach… if you insist on doing it that way. But then I, too, would opt for the disabling of the audio in the channel configuration (or anything else) over detaching either way.

    Nothing confusing. Just sometimes they cause a lot of issues.

    The effect disappearing makes perfect sense to me and is exactly what I’d expect. The effect was applied to the compound clip. When you break the clip apart, you essentially delete the compound clip and replace it with the content it contains. They’re two completey different things and I wouldn’t expect the effect assigned to one to transfer to the other.
