the following:
•
Reuse sequences. When you want to repeat a sequence—particularly a complex one—
you can create it once, then simply nest it in another sequence as many times as you
want.
•
Apply different settings to copies of a sequence. For example, if you want a sequence to
play back repeatedly but with a different effect each time, just apply a different effect to
each instance of the nested sequence.

•
Streamline your editing space. Create complex, multilayered sequences separately;
then add them to your main sequence as a single clip. This not only saves you from
maintaining numerous tracks in the main sequence, but also potentially reduces the
chances of inadvertently moving clips during editing (and possibly losing sync).
•
Create complex groupings and nested effects. For example, although you can apply
only one transition to an edit point, you can nest sequences and apply a new transition
to each nested clip—creating transitions-within-transitions. Or you can create picturein-
picture effects, in which each picture is a nested sequence, containing its own series
of clips, transitions, and effects.
When nesting sequences, keep in mind the following:
•
You can’t nest a sequence within itself.
•
Because nested sequences can contain references to many clips, actions involving a
nested sequence may require additional processing time as Adobe Premiere Pro
applies the actions to all of its component clips.
•
A nested sequence always represents the current state of its source. Changing the
content of the source sequence is reflected in the content of nested instances. Duration
is not directly affected.
•
A nested sequence clip’s initial duration is determined by its source. This includes empty
space at the beginning of the source sequence, but not empty space at the end.
•
You can set a nested sequence’s In and Out points as you would other clips.
Subsequently
changing the source sequence’s duration, however, does not affect the
duration of existing nested instances. To lengthen the nested instances and reveal
material added to the source sequence, use standard trimming methods. Conversely, a
shortened source sequence causes the nested instance to contain black video and
silent audio (which you may need to trim off the nested sequence).
To nest a sequence in another sequence:
Drag a sequence from the Project window or Source view into the appropriate track or
tracks of the active sequence, or use any of the editing methods described in “Adding clips
to a sequence” on page 127.
To open the source of a nested sequence:
Double-click a nested sequence clip. The source of the nested sequence becomes the
active sequence.
