Nesting only Work Area of Sequences
Premiere CS5
I have separate sequences for each one of my scenes, just to keep things tidy, and a “MASTER” sequence where I want to drag each scene after it is finished. However, when I nest the sequences for each scene into my master, the whole sequence nests, not just the work area.
Why is that a problem? Because I like to keep tentative shots at the end of each scene so I can review them later as the movie comes together, but I don’t want them on my master sequence because it disrupts flow, etc. Does this make sense?
So I need help to figure out the possibility of only nesting my work area, which contains the scene itself without any of the “extras” that I like to have on the timeline of my sequence. If this is weird, sorry, that’s just the way I like to edit.
Any hint would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi….
Work area doesn’t define “in” to “out” for nest usage.
Might I suggest that you load the Scene sequence into the source viewer and mark a traditional “in” and “out” prior editing to your master sequence?
If it helps, you can use markers in your scene sequence timelines to help you identify where the in and out are supposed to be when loading it into the source viewer.
Does that help?

Alex, thanks for your reply.
That’s an acceptable solution, thought it’s a two step process, but not at all a complicated one. I know final cut has ways of marking in-outs straight into the timeline and was looking for a likewise solution. This would work though. Thanks! -
hmm….
Well You can mark an In and out in the sequence. I never thought about that using that as a Nest area select prior to using it in another sequence…
might work….
