reverse nested sequences
Hi,
is there an option or maybe a workaround to break a nested-sequence-clip in a timeline back to its original clips.
Actually, i got an entire sequence full of them, since i dragged all my clips in one sequence, put that sequence to my source monitor and from there inserted it to a new timeline (in-point, out-point, insert).Now i got my selection of clips being all little nested sequences slowing everything down. especially the rendering time.
If reversing the process isn’t possible, would there be a way to matchframe a nested-sequence-clip? Because if I matchframe it from my timeline i end up in the source monitor only being able to paste the same nested-sequence again.
Please help! this is an avid user going crazy on premiere pro!!!!!

No can do. It’s a big bummer.
I’ve filed my feature request [link] — I encourage you to file yours. Premiere Pro could really benefit from Avid-style sequence-as-source editorial and un-nesting.
Here’s my current workaround:
Open the two sequences (source and program) and arrange the timelines side by side (or over/under). Set your in and out in your source sequence, then either Lift (;) or Extract (‘). This will remove the selected material from the source timeline and copy it to the clipboard. Immediately undo (Ctrl-Z) — this will restore the selection into your source-side sequence but leave the lifted/extracted clips on the clipboard. Switch to the program-side sequence and paste (Ctrl-V).
As you scrub the source-side sequence, it’ll play in the program monitor. When you switch to the program-side sequence, it plays in the program monitor, too. Working with two sequences makes the source monitor useless.
Being limited to a single viewer is no fun. Go to the beginning of your program-side sequence. Drag the sequence into the Source Window, and go to the first frame there as well. Gang the Source and Program (under the fast corner menu in the upper right corner of either pane). Now when you are navigating your source-side sequence, the program monitor will display the source-source sequence, and the source monitor will display the current location in the program-side sequence. It’s backwards, but it’s better than nothing.

sorry for the late reply. thanks.
yeah, too bad!
before I even read your answer I exported and re-imported my timeline. no handles, but got the job done.
adobe, please learn!!!! -
All you need to do is go to the nested sequence, select all -com A, then go to the original timeline sequence, put the cursor in the timeline where you want the footage to go, and move everything down the timeline creating a blank space. then Com V- paste. Now delete the nested green square from the timeline. Then in the Project window on the left, select the nested sequence and click the trash icon to delete it.
