un-nesting clips in timeline
I just dont get it.
In premiere 6.5 the clip was displayed very clearly on the timeline..this made it very easy to add foley sounds like a door closing or footsteps.
Now in the premiere pro version all the clips are like nested or scrunched in which makes it hard to foley them.
How do you expand the clip (with increasing the time of the clip) in order to add foley audio?
Thanks

I’m not on my editing computer right now, but I’m pretty sure you adjust the bar on the very top of the Timeline window. Also, you can adjust the little thingy (can’t think of a better name at the moment) on the bottom left hand corner of the Timeline window (has one mountain on one side, and multiple mountains on the other side of the slider adjuster thingy).

Thank you. The mountain adjusting thingy worked perfectly. Why cant they use such helpful terminology in their manuals…seriously that solved my problem.

There are two more ways to do the same thing:… At the top of the timeline is a grey bar with what looks like a fat comma attached to either end. If you click and drag those fat commas you get the the same effect as with the mountain thingy except with much more control because it operates over a larger window and you can expand the timeline either to the left or the right. (I use this one all the time)
The other way is of course the “Zoom Tool” in the tools palette to the left of the timeline – use this tool to click on the timeline to enlarge and Alt-click to shrink.
Just one point for future reference, the term nesting in editing is normally used when one timeline or part of it (or sequence as Premiere calls it) is used in another timeline.

BTW – this has nothing to do with “nesting”.
