Difference between nesting and opening a sequence in a new sequence?

[Ann Bens]

nesting sequences means using a sequence as a clip within another sequence.
This is accomplished by eihter dragging the sequence from the project panel or source monitor into the track of the sequence ore using any of the other methods for adding a clip.

But why is there an option called ‘nest’ in the menu?

What’s the difference between pressing the ‘nest’ button or just putting files in a sequence and then dragging that into a new sequence as you mention below?

Is the option ‘nest’ just a quick way of putting a sequence in the project window to use within another sequence?

Hi…

This is actually a feature I’ve been looking forward to.

Though you description of nesting is correct…this is intended as a workflow enhancement.

Let’s say you have several clips stacked in the middle of a seqeunce over a background.

Then you decide you want to blur them all in at the seame time, rate, amount etc.

Now you can multi select the clips in the timeline line and select “nest”

This automatically moves all the selected clips to a new timeline, and replaces the them with the one new nest clip in the sequence you are working in. It saves about multiple steps and should be a real time saver.

Does that help?
