Re: Am I misunderstanding nesting?

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

hope this helps
