Editing sequences and clips
Last updated 11/6/2011
•
Actions involving a nested sequence may require additional processing time, because nested sequences can contain
references to many clips, and 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. Trimming a nested sequence does not
affect the length of the source sequence. Also, subsequently changing the source sequence’s duration 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).
Nest a sequence in another sequence
❖
Drag a sequence from the Project panel or Source Monitor into the appropriate track or tracks of the active
sequence, or use any of the editing methods for adding a clip.
Note: You will not have to render audio before editing a nested sequence.
Create a nested sequence from a selection of clips
1
In a sequence, select one or more clips that you want to send to a nested sequence.
2
Do one of the following:
•
Select Clip > Nest.
•
Right-click the selection, and select Nest.
Premiere Pro cuts the selected clips from the sequence, sends the selected clips to a new sequence, and nests the new
sequence in the original sequence, starting at the location of the first selected clip.

Open the source of a nested sequence
❖
Double-click a nested sequence clip. The source of the nested sequence becomes the active sequence.
Reveal a source frame from a nested sequence
If you want to reveal a clip in a nested sequence (for example, to edit it), you can quickly open the source sequence at
the exact frame you want to reveal.
1
In the Timeline panel, target the track in which a nested sequence is located by clicking the header of that track. If
you target multiple tracks, the targeted track that is on top is used to select the nested sequence.
2
Drag the current-time indicator to the frame of the nested sequence that you want to reveal in its original sequence.
3
Press Shift+T to open the source sequence in the Timeline panel, with the current-time indicator at the frame you
specified in the nested sequence.
4
Double-click the clip where the current-time indicator rests to open the clip in the Source Monitor.
