That 8 point matte really did the trick. Never thought to use that filter before.
Thanks for the tip.

As for the original post’s issue, though no cause or remedy was found … The matte will make that type of editing obsolete.

thanks

It’s self-contained and is saved off with the current settings of DV.
I’m sure there would be easier, more efficient methods, but … I have what I have.

Thanks

My original post wasn’t to find a solution now for my current sequence, it was to find out why this happened in the first place and see if I forgot a step or something.
Because now the simple solution (which I’d rather not do each time I edit the original A sequence) was to delete the nested sequence and pull it back into (re-nest) my master sequence. That fixes it.
I really just want to know what I can do to avoid this step (if in fact the problem is caused when I edit/change something in the original sequence).
All of that to say: I don’t currently have a problem that I can do an audio mixdown to to see if that works.
But I might try to re-generate the problem scenario and try an audio mixdown.

Sorry to be so ignorant, but…
What is an audio mixdown?
Why is it necessary?
How do you do it?

Thanks.
