Thanks for getting back to me
The reason I used a nested sequence was because I wanted to affect several clips. Specifically the audio. The audio I digitized was all panned left, so with the nested sequence selected, I press enter and in the audio on the viewer centered panned everything.
I could have done this pasting attributes but, thought it would be faster this other way.
the timeline warned of no render, but when I cmd+m (print to tape) it effectively rendered something that screwed up my audio. The worst part was I monitored the beginning and end and things were fine…
When I checked my timeline after getting called by master, effectively the nested sequence had lost synchrony, but, this is the really irritating part, when i double clicked on the nested sequence to reveal the items in it…… everything was fine. So I feel it was a render that print to tape executed before recording that screwed things up
I used to really enjoy nesting and printing to tape but I’m terribly afraid of keeping this habit.
also I can remember one other instance when I saw this anomaly, a friend was printing to tape a concert, and suddenly it lost synchrony, again like 20 minutes before air time….
My main concern now that I’m adopting a no nesting no printing lifestyle is that I believe timeline playback is lower quality compared to print to tape playback,
If I put the timeline display in high quality all frames, would this be the same quality as printing to tape???
Just a side note, none of my colleagues use print to tape or nested sequences, so I look like the biggest fool. Everyone manually puts their vtrs to record and plays the timeline, and I thought they where the fools.
silly me
Thanks for everything
