  • Making changes to nested sequences

    Posted by Michael Brodner on October 17, 2007 at 9:52 pm

    I have a final sequence in my timeline and want to go back and change a couple lines of text in one part. When I double click my nested clip in the timeline it brings up the original timeline with all my cuts and effects and blah blah blah. My question is this, is there a way to make changes in these timelines and have it update in the final nested sequence? The reason I ask is because if I make one change I end up having to delete the nested clip and redrag the entire original sequence into my final timeline and pretty much re nest it. Its a pain in the butt. just curious if theres a way to have the final clip update. thanks

    Double click and make the change. If it doesn’t auto update you have probably rendered it and may need to force a rerender. Just change the opacity and then change it back is what I usually do.

    not sure if this is some sort of glitch or what but ive re alligned my audio clip, re rendered that…then, went back to the nest final sequence, re renderd all of that and its still not updated. I wonder whats going on.

    I have the same problem. Sometimes, when I make changes in a nested sequence, it doesn’t show up in the final sequence. Even when I render it, nothing. So I have to delete all renders in the final sequence, then render again. This can take a lot of time. Any suggestions?

    just one of those wonderful fcp things. i sometimes put a slug on a track above the whole sequence and then remove it to force render it all again. but check it carefully after. ghost files sometimes pop up. sometimes deleting the video render folder on the scratch disk is the only way…it’s the tradeoff of a system that costs a small fraction of the big names.

    “DELETING THE VIDEO RENDER SCRATCH FOLDER.” Where can this be found? Also, is this going to effect my overall video, meaning…will i lose any information or will I just have to rerender the whole thing again? Thanks 🙂

    it’s where you told it to be….
    usually the same place as your capture scratch folder.
    but yes you will have to re render all : (
