Move multiple clip using nesting

[David Roth weiss]

[Mike Allen] “I want to use the motion tab and keyframes to move multiple items together. Will shift T do this?”

Nope Mike, nesting is in fact the way to do that, as you were originally trying. Don’t know why it’s creating an issue for you however.

Shane said that FCP will not do this. Can this be done? If so, how? What I am doing now is:

A. Highlight militple clips
B. Nest Clips
C. Problem is, when I go to the motion tab it has no effect.

Do you have any suggestions?

Do I apply motion to the single nested clip or do I go to the new sequence where the clips are seperated to attempt the motion. Can you tell me how you would do this.

I am having the same problem… I know this thread is old, I’m using Final Cut Studio 2 any solutions or other threads dealing with this? (it is really hard to search for help on this)

The problem you guys are having is that double clicking the newly made nested sequence doesnt open it in the viewer to modify the motion tab, so what you need to do is right-click on the desired nest and click “open in viewer”.
