Combining finished sequences
My inability to take time to read a manual is testament to the deadline I face a week and a half from now, ergo I’m asking you good people for a quick answer to this:
I am about to finish my doc and I will have five sequences to combine into the finished whole. Never having taken a project this large this far, I need to know what does one do? Just copy and paste each sequence into a single timeline? Could it be that simple?
Thanks

Shane,
Would he have to build handles into the sequences to dissolve between them, or just use the opacity rubber bands and overlap them? Or just go to black between them? I guess these questions would be kinda subjective…
Have a wonderful day.

The handles would be those already present in the first clip of the copied sequence, and the last clip. The transition isn’t between the “sequences” but between the individual last clip/first clip of the joined sequences (unless you nest the sequences before copying them over).

Interesting. I continue to be amazed at certain simplicities within this incredibly complex program.
On the same issue, you raise another question vis a vis nested sequences and the available controls at the either ends of combined sequences. In my curious nascence, I just dragged the icon for my sequence #2 from the browser and laid it over the timeline at the end of my sequence #1. To my ignorant amazement, it did indeed lay down sequence #2 in an apparent nested form, as there were no separate clips in evidence.
Would this in fact be an option? Did I inadvertantly create a nested sequence? Since I immediately undid that action, I didn’t notice: would there be any end controls available to me–other than a fade–if I were to take this approach in combining sequences?
Thanks

A sequence dragged into the timeline behaves like a clip, as you saw. That’s why I brought up the issue of handles, above. If there’s a fade up and down in the sequence, you would just put them next to or over each other and you’re done.
Have a wonderful day.
