Editing and dividing a job in scenes .

[Craig Seeman]

Projects are timelines and you can cut and paste. Some have found setting up Compound Clips in the Event Browser (as opposed to the timeline) as one method of working.

So, my “timeline scenes” will be projects.
Compound Clips are “legacy Nest Sequence”, right ?
So, I should make a compound clip out of my scene projects, copy&paste to a final project. Am I right ? lol

You can make Compound Clips in the Event Browser. Each Compound Clip can then be an edited scene. Your master Project timeline can then have the Compound Clips (scenes) edited into them. No Copy and Paste needed in this case. You can even keyword tag the Compound Clips with the word “Scenes” and you now have a Keyword Collection (bin) of Scene sequences (Compound Clips).

This is why Compound Clips are a bit more “interesting” than nests. While you can Compound Clips in a timeline, like a nest, You can also create Compound Clips in the Event Browser so you can have multiple sequences which you can then edit to a “master” Project Timeline.

Thanks for the explanation. I will try that workflow.
