Re: Am I misunderstanding nesting?
by Tom Wolsky on May 9, 2008 at 5:38:44 pm

When you make the nest in the timeline using the Sequence menu or Opt-C it automatically creates a nest in the browser. You shouldn't have to move it into the browser. If you do you're making another copy.

The recursive behavior is deliberate. There are ways around this like setting I/O points in the nest. Then when the sequence is nested anything outside the marked I/O will not ripple the parent sequence. This has been the application behavior since very early versions.

What you describe is the way nesting works. The only instance in which it doesn't is if you use a copy and paste function. The copy and paste produces a separate sequence, not related to the original nest, nor does it appear in the browser. This was a design choice. Not one I like, but there it is. 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.

All the best,

Tom
