turning off nesting when editing 1 sequence into another

[Jeremy Garchow]

Once you drag the sequence from the browser to your other sequence, press the command button, then release the mouse button.

Or press the COMMAND button when pressing F10. In fact, just map that OVERWRITE WITH CONTENT and INSERT WITH CONTENT to those buttons so you don’t have to press anything else. if the footage is a normal clip, it will act normally.

How can I edit selected parts of a sequence into another sequence without getting a string of nested sequence clips? All that is required is a simple remap of your F9 and F10 keys. (There is a video tutorial of this process at https://www.davestiles.com if you prefer to watch over reading) Out of the box they are mapped to “insert” and “overwrite” respectively. In order to insert or overwrite the original clips from a sequence in your viewer rather than chunks of the sequence itself, we need to remap those keys with the operations named “insert sequence content” and “overwrite sequence content”. You can type “insert” or “overwrite” in the search window at the top right of the keyboard layout dialogue box to narrow down the choices to help find them. Drag the “insert sequence content” to the F9 key on the map and drag “overwrite sequence content” to the F10 key on the map. Save and close your keyboard layout. Now when you load a sequence into your viewer and F9 or F10 into the timeline you will get the original clips in you timeline, not chunks of sequence.

Hope it helps.
