    Hey again

    apologies to harry nilson

    so when i want to make a “sub master” of something, lets say a series of shots to be used as a single element multiple times in a show, like a repeating bumper, this is waht i do:
    i create a new sequence, call it “bumper bg” and cut my shots together w music

    i then take that sequence and either drag it from the bin to “my show” OR drag it to the viewer and f9 or f10 it in to “my show” (can i f9 or f10 it from the bin directly?) so now i have my “bumper bg” appearing multiple times throughout “my show” OK GREAT

    the next day the producer comes in and sez “bobby baby, i’m lovin the shots you used in that bumpa, but that music is SO not happenin! my kid did this little tune and i wanta use that, ok? ok! send me a dvd, lets do lunch!”

    NOW here are the questions:

    if i go to my sequence called “bumper bg” and replace the music, will the new music show up in “my show”? you know, in the places the bumper appears?

    OR do i have to replace edit the existing “bumper bg” in “my show” with the “bumper bg” from the bin?

    and waht about filters? like lets say the producers kid did a bad job of mixing and i want to put an eq filter on the music track to help it? does that filter show up in “my show”? or do i have to replace it one clip at a time as well?

    i guess the question is, and maybe those who know this are becoming fewer and far between, can i treat a sequence like the old videotape sub master except with the automatic update that the computer world adds? and if not where is the line media? content? filters?

    thanx for your patience with my lenghty explain, and re working of mr nilsons “lime in the coconut”

    Bob,

    Double click on the audio or video track in the nested seq. you’ve dragged into your timeline. What happens???

    Answer: Its opens the original timeline. What does this tell ya???

    It tells me that next time you’re in Hollywood we’re doin lunch baby…

    Hey Babe, lunch is on me have my girl call your girl and pencil me in!!!

    however, in regards to the example,when i double click on my sub timeline (edit speak) in my main timeline, is it really opening the one in the bin, or soem weird subclip that only shares media with the one in the bin

    AND

    conversely, if i double click my sub timline in the bin, am i really looking at the one thats in the main timeline??

    this is where it gets confusing, and much to walters credit, i still dont get it.

    hey, love ya babe, yer beautiful, don’t ever change, die that way!

    bee “manny on the coast” eph

    Yo Bob

    If you put your submaster into your master, then the submaster is “live” and if you make changes to that sub, the changes will flow to all instances in your master.

    If you want to edit them as separate entities, when you add the submaster to the master you need to hold down the command key, and the result will be that the clips that make up the sub will appear in the master, adn you can change them independently.

    Your pal,
