John’s solution is what I would have suggested, and his ‘nest’ suggestion is the same as the ‘Collapse’ button. (It’s one of the buttons on the top of the timeline itself).
Once you’ve nested the effects, to get back into and adjust something in the nest, there’s a ‘STEP-IN’ button – arrow down, and a step out button – arrow up, also one of the timeline buttons, although I’ve got them mapped to the up and down arrows on the keyboard. -
One way of doing it would be to lock your aspect ratio, than on the layer above, put Resize or 3D Warp, and do the moves and zooms on that layer.

I believe you can’t export a sequence with an alpha channel,(but I may be corrected there), so if you need to export a sequence to use in a different application, I would create a sequence that you could use a chroma key on:
So with your titles on V2, put a colour that is not used in those titles onto V1. Export that sequence.
Importing that into a different application, you can use chroma key to superimpose that title onto new picture.
If part of that title are semi-transparent, and other parts fully opaque, you may have to split those apart and export separately, so you can adjust transparency differently.If you’re exporting to another Avid, just export the titles as a sequence, it keeps the transparency.

Is there any more footage on the other side of that trim, or have you reached the end of the material?
-
By the way, Alt + Trim Mode brings up the last combination of trims you had.

Hi Bryan,
the monitoring is governed by two things, the first is the last thing you click on, (hence the click on and off in the last post), so if the trims are all offset, then if you click video last, then it will be that picture that is monitored, and the audio at the same place (where the blue timeline indicator is) likewise if audio is the last clicked, it will be that audio (with picture at that same place)
If you are doing a simultaneous trim of the in and out of the audio,(so that the overall time remains the same) you chose which audio to monitor by briefly putting your cursor over either the left or right monitor, which brings up a green indicator light under the trim frame counter between the monitors. Don’t click on the monitor, or that will make it a one sided trim.
(To scrub the audio, Caps Lock must be on) -
Simplest thing in the world. – In the trim mode, with sync locks on, shift and click on the spacing at the end of the music track, shift and click twice (once for off, once for on) on one of the audio tracks of the sync clips. This brings the cursor and the monitoring back to the beginning of the sync clip.
The sync will be kept on the spacing and subsequent clips on audio 2,3, 4, and 5, and video 2 and 3. -
Another meaning of OTS or Over The Shoulder, used to be the shot during an interview of the interviewee, over the shoulder of the interviewer, showing part of the interviewer.

Don’t import the image to the bin, that’s the stage that is getting in the way.
On your timeline spacer, create edits at the beginning and end of your planned shot. Put the Pan and Zoom effect on that spacer, then navigate to the source picture on the desktop. -
Hi Klaas,
in the old days, working on U-Matic offline, we used to manually write out edl’s which were then in-put for tape on-line controllers.
I can’t remember what programmes we used at the time, but Google has come up with EDL WRITER (I searched for CMX 340, which was the simplest edl at the time.)
Try downloading that, it says you can manually create the list.
