Is there a way to Un-nest

[Walter Biscardi]

Not that I know of. I simply Open the Nest, Select All, and Drag all the items back into the working timeline.

Command + Drag the Sequence icon from the Browser to the Timeline.

there is a way to de-nest.

basically you open the nested sequence from the timeline into the viewer window.
make a subclip.
now the nested sequence has been trimmed to the section used.
NOW you can apple-drag it to the timeline, and get the clips you want/need.

this comes up every couple of weeks,
so HERE’S A (probably over-detialed) HOW-TO

NESTS: How to De-Nest

I’ve been editing from Sequences I’ve loaded into the viewer,
and now my timeline is all NESTS, not CLIPS!
How do i get back to having clips in the timeline?

That sounds messy. I just ran into the same problem.

Fortunately, I’m a pack rat so I went to a previously saved cut and copy & pasted the section I needed.

The most efficient way I would think would be to double click the nested Picture timeline, then copy it into another sequence. Do the same for the Audio but ensure it’s at the correct starting place.

That should put you in the ball park to edit again.

hi
glad to discover this – i’m in un-nesting hell: i was advised at the beginning of this project to downconvert from HDV to DV then recapture once i got towards a fine cut (i was nervous about my computers ability to process HDV).

I’m at the recapturing step now, and one of the problems i’m having is that all my “subclips” are nested – therefore i can’t recapture them unless i manually unnest each and every one – i’m working from 30 tapes so that’s not a workable scenario.

question 1: how did all my subclips become nested to begin with? i never intentionally nested any of them

question 2: is there another way out of this besides the manual reconstruction of this entire project?

thanks
