is there a quick way to find out which sequence houses your nested clips?
I’ve nested some clips in a project in FCP 7. I see the nested clips’ sequences in the browser but sometimes I cant remember what larger sequence they are part of. Is there an easy way to find it or reveal it in the larger timeline it is a part of?

Double click on the nest and the underlying seq, will open.

David, what I actually want to do is the opposite, to look at the bested sequence in my browser and find out what sequences it is part of. Know how to do that?

Ah ha, another Cow contrarian. 🙂
I hate to say it Noam, but I don’t think there’s any way of going in reverse in this case. This just one of many reasons I’m not a fan of nesting in FCP.
Though they don’t call it nesting, the concept does works better in FCP X, but I think it’s hardly a good enough reason for going in that direction unless your workflow demands those things that X really delivers.
