Hi
i came back here to answer after reading all the responses that turned into “my way vs your way”
I have another 2 ways of dealing with this
drag the clip up to a new video track, making sure to make a video track taht has nothing else on it
lock all the other tracks
adjust the speed anyway you want
unlock the tracks and drag your clip back down, making sure to truncate it so you wont overwrite anything
OR
mark in and out on the clip in your sequence
backload the clip into your source viewer
pick an new our or in you would see iff you slowed it down
do a fit to fill back into your timeline
in response to the other solutions, dragging the clip up is faster then cutting and pasting into a new sequence or at the end of your existing sequence
AND
if you adjust the speed in the viewer after you backload it, it changes the speed in the browser and makes it a pain to work with that clip elsewhere, because now its off-speed
and just for the record, the decison to ripple the timeline or change the in and out should simply be a choice and not be locked either way. After all, thats why theres 8 horses in a race!
hope this helps

wow thanx!
ok ok i think i am trackin ya here
However:
“If you reuse a sequence from the browser and repeatedly nest it multiple times they will all be the same sequence and behave the same way and have the same content.”How do i do this? do i load it into the viewer and press f10? do i double click it into the viewer or drag it into the viewer?
or do i drag it straight from the browser to the timeline i want to have it in?
(i think this is where i was not getting consistent or confusing results, and again it may have been me.)
thanx again

here is the deal. If i select a group of clips in a sequence and create a nest from those it works pretty well. I always have to double click my “nest result” to open my nest. I have to lock my tracks so when i need to extend the last shot of the nest for handle, it doesnt ripple my main timeline.
BUT
If i try and get the nest into the browser it gets all screwy
Honestly, It has been so long since I have tried doing any nesting other than the way i described my workflow, I cannot remember the circumstances where i found it inconsistent.
Now that being said, what i thought or waht it seemed nesting was supposed to do was give you a “submaster clip” that you could copy, and duplicate, and no matter how many copies you had, they all pointed to the same subtimeline. I dont think it works that way, so i do exports and imports to get that functionality.

I find nesting in FCP to be a joke. No matter what combination of keystrokes i try i can never CONSISTENTLY get a sequence to effectively nest in another sequence such that the sequence in the browser matches the sequence i have nested. I have tried copying, dragging, inserting, on a train, on a plane, etc.
I also hate how if i Ripple a shot in the pre sequence, it ripples the destination sequence as well, unless i lock the dest sequence.
so I dont use it.
what I do is I export a native resolution self-contained quicktime movie, and use that as my pre sequence. When I revise the export, It relinks to the clip I have nested.
yeah its a little more time, but its a lot less headache.
Sometimes if I revise my pre sequence, and need to re export, i have to export to the folder above where the export lives, then replace it in the Finder. Sometimes!
just put a sequence together, export it native ie File>Export>Quicktime Movie , save it to a folder in your capture scratch folder on your media drive, and cut it in.
it’ll save you a Ton of frustration

does anyone rememeber the original Quantel Harry? if you stopped working long enough messages would come up like “you call this art?”
they killed that in ver 2, but it was fun

if memory serves Bruce the Yak went away because FCP had to meet some governement software compliance which specified no easter eggs.
so logically one would assume that no one has programmed one in its place
however, since when are software developers logical….

Under DV Downconvert, try switching the Audio Lock Mode once
ie if its on switch it off or vica versa
also force the deck into HDV not Auto
and one thing i have found is that mor often than not you have to restart the computer with the deck on for FCP to “see it” correctly.
hope this helps

and right you should be, as markers will not move when you ripple deelte
HOWEVER
there is a utulity called Marker Mover available at the Spherico
website. google spherico and you will find this and a few other utilitys.“I like video because its so fast!”
