Blend modes and adjustment layers
Using an adjustment layer, you can apply the same blend mode and opacity adjustment to a range of clips. Do this in Premiere Pro by changing
the blend mode under Opacity in the Effect Controls tab of the adjustment layer.
This technique is equivalent to duplicating a clip in a video track over an existing clip, and then changing its blend mode.

Transform effect and adjustment layers
You can add a transform effect to an adjustment layer, like scale or rotate, and then animate it over a span of clips (or still images). This technique
allows you to achieve motion effects formerly done by nesting clips.
When playing back the sequence, the clip now has a transform effect that animates over the span of two or more clips.
