Renders for sequence and nested not the same

[Jeremy Doyle] ” But once I’m in my full timeline, I can’t easily jump back into one of my section timelines.”
Why not? It’s right there. Or do you think it is too hard to find due to the LARGE sequence you have to sort through? Use Markers to indicate the start of the sections…that’ll help.
[Jeremy Doyle] ” If I extend a section and want to copy and paste that into my full timeline I need to manually move clips down the timeline so I can paste my new section in. No auto updating.”
Try OPT-V…that will INSERT PASTE…move things down like INSERT EDITING will do. Or, use my favorite tool…TTTT (press T 4 times), and select everything downstream from where you click, then move. VERY easy. Again, my favorite tool.

Yes markers do help.

Yes you are right. Very easy. Not quite as easy as not having to do anything because your timeline auto updates however.
Like I said, I have used both and will continue to use both based on the project.

Wait…how is this not AS easy? Because the timeline auto updates…from WHAT? The smaller sequence you are making changes too…and then the nest updates. OK…don’t make the change to the small sequence…make the change to the BIG one. That is what I am talking about.
When you copy and paste everything to the large sequence, you don’t go back to the smaller ones. You now work on the main sequence. All the changes are done there. You aren’t changing the smaller sequence, then copying/pasting the changes to the main sequence. JUST working in the main sequence.

The workflows are completely different.
With a nested sequence workflow you’re always working in the smaller ones.
The main sequence is purely for output.For a magazine style show with completely different segments between breaks, I find the nested sequence workflow much easier.
For a narrative style show I find working in one main sequence easier.

For those of you that edit in one big sequence, I have always gotten to a point, after what must be thousands of edis, where the system starts to slow down, throw up ever more frequent ‘preparing for display’ messages, and just doest run as well. How have you ‘one big timeliners’ avoided the system hit?

I have 8GB of RAM. And I generally make a separate project for the main assembly. Large project sizes tend to slow things down.

Shane, I just wanted to highlight that I, myself and I, have 32gb’s of Ram.
Yes, it is 5 years later.
Yes, I’ve had a few glasses of wine.
Best wishes,
Morgan
