Methods for Editing Clips from One Sequence to Another

Often when you’re editing, you’ll be working with more than one sequence. For
example, you may create one sequence for each scene in a movie, or use different
sequences for various versions of your project. At some point, you may need to copy
clips from one sequence to another. Copying information between sequences is fairly
easy and can be done several ways. You can also edit entire sequences into other
sequences, commonly called nesting.
