  • What is going on with nesting? (CC 2013)

    Posted by Nevin Styre on September 26, 2014 at 6:06 pm

    If I drag a sequence that has 5 clips into another sequence, instead of nesting it as one long clip into the second sequence like it should it adds all the individual clips from the first sequence into the second.

    I have a clip with warp stabilizer in sequence 1 (UHD 30p), when I try to nest it into sequence 2 (DV widescreen) instead of nesting the sequence in it puts the clip from sequence 1 in individually into sequence 2 as if I had just copied the clip from seq 1 and pasted it in seq 2. Warp stabilizer won’t work this way since the sequence settings don’t match the clip with the warp stabilize effect’s properties, it tells me to nest the sequence but that is what I’m trying to do.

    I’ve tried dragging seq 1 into seq 2 from the project panel and tried loading seq 1 into the source viewer and using insert/overwrite but it still doesn’t nest properly.

    The only way I can make it work is to right click on the sequence I want to nest and select “new sequence from clip”, which creates another sequence that I can grab the properly nested seq 1 from, very counter-intuitive as it is creating an unnecessary sequence.

    There is a button in the timeline window called the Nest Source Sequence toggle (it’s next to the ‘snap’ on/off horseshoe magnet icon) and it controls how nested sources are edited into your timeline. You can choose to have the source media edited into your timeline or you can choose to have a nested sequence edited into your timeline.

    I suspect this toggle is the source of your dismay.

    yep that was it, you would think they would keep the behaviour the same as it was before by default when adding new options like this.
