Is there a limitation of nested sequences?

In Final Cut it was always a problem to nest sequence because of render problems with ghostpictures and audio issue.
Is this better to handle in Premiere Pro escpacially when I'm nesting an always nestet seequence into another or can I go as deep as I want?

There is no documented limit of Nested Sequences.

  • Is there any limitation of nested select.

    Is there any limitation of nested select.If yes please let me know.

    Hi,
    There are no practical limits to nested SELECTs, but as other repliers have already pointed out they quickly become a performance hog. I have stopped using them for years, and when I teach ABAP performance classes I also quote them as one of the top "don'ts". With nested selects, the number of calls to the DBMS can easily become enormous, putting the database server under stress.
    A good alternative - the one I favour most myself - is to use SELECT INTO TABLE for the"outer" select, followed by appropriate SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES statements to handle the inner levels.
    ABAP joins are another alternative. When properly written, a join will be faster than a nested select. The problem is however that very often joins are not properly written. SELECT statements should always respect the KISS principle (keep it simple, stupid) and with a join it is very easy to violate that rule. A join over 2 tables should probably be OK, but with 3 or more tables you want to be very careful. If you really want to code a complex join, I recommend that you also code the same logic with different means (INTO TABLE/FOR ALL ENTRIES or even nested selects) and then compare that with the join. By the way: don't just compare the performance, also make sure that the two return the same data. You wouldn't be the first to code a really fast join which unfortunately returns incorrect results.

  • Changes to master nested sequence not updating in new sequence

    Good morning - I have spent the past half hour or so searching the forum for this topic but have not found the answer. If the answer exists elsewhere, please point me in that direction; otherwise, here goes:
    I created a nested sequence by simply dragging one sequence (A) from the browser into a new sequence (B) in the timeline. Later, I went back to Seq A and replaced all of the audio (which was in-camera audio) with clean audio from a Tascam field recorder. So far so good. However, Seq B still plays the original camera audio and is not reflecting any of the changes I made to Seq A.
    I tried deleting audio render files, quitting and restarting FCP, etc., all to no avail. I have the latest versions of the OS and FCP. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    As you've probably found there are several ways to create/edit nests into sequences. The manual points out an advantage of using nested sequences is you can make a change and that change will be reflected in all the subsequent nests. As you've also found out, this isn't exactly true.
    The only way I've found to have communications carry forward to nests from the original sequence is if I edit the sequence into another sequence via the Canvas overlay/edit keyboard shortcuts from the Viewer. I've found dragging and dropping to do as you've found.

  • Export Limits for Multiple Sequences in the Same Sequence File for TS3.0

    Hi,
    I am using TestStand 3.0 to a test application. Because we want to have our limits in a csv-file I have tried to use the Import/Export tools in TS. But this application only supports to export limits for the selected sequence (e.g. main, or subseq1) at a time. This makes it a pretty hard job to export limits from 30 test sequences. What I need is a possibility to export my limits from �all sequences� in my seq-file.
    I have found an article on NI Dev. Zone about �Export Limits for Multiple Sequences in the Same Sequence File (TestStand 1.0.x)�.
    http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.DISPLAY_EPD4?p_guid=B45EACE3D9CB56A4E034080020E74861&p_node=DZ52236&p_submitted=N&p_rank=&p_answer=&p_sourc
    e=External
    I have tried to use this code but because it�s for TS 1.0.2 the limits from my multi num test step and my custom steptypes isn�t exported. So that doesn�t fulfill my needs.
    Is there an updated version with �all sequences� added to TS 3.0? Is there other good solutions to my problem out there?

    Hi David Mc,
    Thanks for your reply. I have already considered this solution because the source code is added in the folder described in your reply. But that is not a good solution. It will cost me a lot of time to establish the toolchain, reverse engineer the source code, make the implementations and build a new dll (most off these is already knowledge by NI). And when NI make future releases of TestStand I have some merge work to do every time NI have made some changes in the files I have changed.
    But as I write above: I have hoped that NI already has/or could made a solution like the one to 1.0.2 (see link in root) to me. And then they could include it in the next version.
    I don't think I am the only one in the TestStand world that ne
    ed this feature.

  • Time remapping / slow motion extremely jumpy with nested sequence!

    I have just finished the rough-cut of a ceremony when I went back to add effects-- slow motion, color correct, etc. only to find that ANY time-change is jittery-- extremely jittery, like it's skipping frames.
    For trial purposes I created a new timeline with only one video clip placed multiple times. I reduced one to 50% with frame-blending, the other 50% with NO frame-blending and the final using time re-mapping with frame-blending. At 50% I don't expect fluid movement, but they are all acceptable... Until I put a different timeline in the timeline (I think it's a "nested sequence").
    When speed is slowed on ANY nested sequence it is jittery. Whether it is a single nested sequence or a multi-camera sequence, it jumps.
    Has anyone else had this problem?! Is this a bug? I never noticed it until this wedding. I am using CS3 and I cannot afford the time to re-edit this ceremony with 2.0.... Unless I have no choice.

    Hi Wil,
    I have tried using both. Time remapping on the clip (not nested) works fine, so does 'speed change.' But both time remapping and speed change result in jumpy frames when applied to a nested sequenced clip.
    I tried this on another (much lower system) and have found the same results. I am begining to think it is the footage but it seems odd that it is perfect when applied to a clip in the timeline but NOT to a timeline in the timeline (nested).
    I am on vacation and do not have access to a faster machine until next late next week but for now I will try the export again to be sure Encore sees the same thing.
    I am dumbfounded because I had been using 1.5, then 2.0 and now CS3 for weddings for years and have never noticed this. I have noticed it on the both the last project and now this current one.
    I thought it could have been the original footage (or a camera problem except that the problems are not there until a nested sequence comes along. I will try moving the footage to my internal drive now and see what happens...
    Thank you so far for giving me ideas.

  • Converting a nested sequence into a single clip

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anybody could tell me how to convert a nested sequence into a single clip?
    I have captured several forty minute mini-dv tapes and there were a lot of timecode breaks, my user preferences made FCP generate a new clip every time the timecode changed.
    I like to make subclips from a single master clip when I edit so I added all the broken clips into a sequence and nested them which has created a single clip within a sequence, but it has labeled the footage as a 'sequence' in the browser as opposed to a 'clip'.
    I think I need to strip the footage of its timecode but to not want to have to print to a blank mini-dv cassette and then re-import, if anyone knows of a solution to this problem it would be a great help.
    Many thanks.

  • Finding your place in a nested sequence

    Plop an ordinary clip in the timeline, move the playhead to a spot in the clip, double-click the clip in the timeline, and the clip pops up in the source monitor with the playhead at the same spot in the clip.
    Place a nested sequence in a timeline, move the head to a spot in the nested sequence, double-click, and the original sequence opens up in the timeline window, but the playhead is not in the same place (it's where you left it the last time you were working on that sequence).
    If I've got a nested sequence in a new timeline, is there any way to quickly assertain where the corresponding place on the original sequence is?
    Thanks in advance!

    Use the keyboard shortcut "M" to perform a Match Frame operation.
    Nein!
    Use Shift+T: Reveal Nested Sequence. It will open up the nest in a Timeline panel tab (if it isn't already) and park the playhead at the matching frame.

  • Framerate change to nested sequence of text clips?

    Having successfully rendered a 25 frame project as a finished film with burned-in subtitles and other text. Now I wished to create a 29.97 NTSC version. I have attempted this by sending the complete rendered 25 frame film to Compressor and re-rendering as 29.97 ProRes 422HQ using Compressor and then re-rendering, again with Compressor, as mpeg2. I found that some of the previously successfully rendered text now appears (in the ProRes file) to be somewhat blurred and to be unstable and 'jittery' when over a light, moving background.
    It occurred to me that the best solution might be to separate the background material, render this to 29.97 ProRes 422HQ without the titles and then to apply the sequence of title clips at the new framerate. Thus there is no framerate change to rendered text.
    Having nested these text clips in my 25 fps project, if I paste these into my 29.97 project they come up out of sync (unsurprisingly). I have tried changing the speed of this nested sequence of text clips by 25/29.97 which (almost) worked in terms of fixing the timing but the image quality of the text seemed impaired.
    Can anyone please suggest an alternative way of imposing a framerate change on an unrendered nested sequence of text clips? My aim here is clearly to avoid the need to adjust each clip's duration manually especially as some have 'motion' scrolling within them.
    Thanks

    It is entirely possible that you could find the font information and replace it.
    Just keep in mind that the project files in CC are actually zipped.
    Create a project with one clip and one title and then tear the project file apart to find the info you want to search on.
    Then try it on a copy of your big project. It is tedious, but you might pull it off.

  • Copy and Past Nested Sequence loses link to Master

    Has anyone else noticed this problem? I've got a nested sequence that I'm cutting and editing around and most of the time everything is fine. If I doubleclick the nested sequence in my main sequence, it opens the nested one and if I then double click the nested sequence in my Browser, it goes to that same sequence. Changed in one will show up in the other.
    BUT, if I copy and paste the nested sequence in my main sequence, the new pasted version will open a NEW sequence that isnt linked to the Master in my Browser. So now, changes in the new nested sequence or the Master dont show up in the other one.
    Is this just me thats having this problem?

    I can see where you are coming from, and where the engineers at Apple were coming from, but I strongly disagree with this behavior. In my opinion, if you want to have a separate copy of a sequence, you should make a copy in your bin and bring that in. That way your new sequence HAS a master sequence and you can CHANGE the name, both of which help to avoid confusion.
    So, maybe you're right and most people prefer it the way that it is, but let me explain the workflow I'm using and you'll see why this is so absolutely frustrating to me.
    I'm editing a documentary in Chinese and as I dont speak Chinese, I've had it all translated, and added subtitles to the interview footage so I can edit it. And to make absolutely sure that the subtitles and footage stay in sync (since I wouldnt know it if they werent) I've put all the footage into separate sequences and I'm editing those sequences as if they are raw footage.
    And due to this, I'm throwing sequences around every which way while I try to create my story. And sometimes that means copying a series of edits into a new timeline to work on separately from the larger project. And as I see it, there is NO WAY to do that currently and keep the sequences linked to the masters, other than pulling up each master sequence into the Viewer, changing the in and out points to match the clip I want and Inserting it into a new timeline. And when you want to copy over a segment that has perhaps 20 edited bits, thats WAY too much trouble.
    So I'll admit that I'm editing in a somewhat abnormal way due to my subtitles, but as there is no way to copy and paste sequences and keep the link to the Master, I think the behavior is broken.
    Oh, and the "Tools->Create Master Clips" command, which is supposed to relink clips to their masters if there are any in the Browser, doesnt work for Nested Sequences.

  • Making Changes To Nested Sequences

    I have edited a series of clips into a sequence in FCP. Let's call that sequence Sequence 1, shall we?
    Later, I had to create a new sequence, based on clips edited from the first sequence. Clips from Sequence 1 have been nested into a new sequence, called Sequence 2.
    I was asked to make an overall change to the look of the video. I went back to the first sequence, Sequence 1, and placed a semi-transparent Photoshop layer over it. It looks pretty cool.
    But...
    ...the Sequence 1 that is nested into Sequence 2 has not changed. How do I get the Photoshop layer that is in Sequence 1 to be visible in Sequence 2?
    In other words, how do I get the nested sequence to reflect the changes that were made to it?
    Thanks!

    You need to doubleclick on the nest in the containing sequence (sequence 2).  That will load the correct version of sequence 1 in the timeline.  Any changes you make to this version should be reflected in the containing sequence.  If they are not, toggle the nest on and off (select it and hit control b).  This will force an update if there's a problem.   
    When you edit something into a sequence, it creates a copy.  So any changes you make to the original are not reflected in the sequence.  This is a very basic fact of fcp.  For example, load a clip in the viewer,  edit it into the timeline.  Change your in point in the viewer.  This change is not reflected in the timeline.  But if you double click on the clilp in the timeline, this version of the clip loads in the viewer.  If you change the in point in the viewer, the in point of the clip in the timeline changes.
    If you apply a filter to a nest and want to adjust the parameters of the filter, option doubleclick the nest and it will load in the viewer and you can adjust the filter.

  • CS4.2 - Nested Sequence bug!...

    I seem to have stumbled upon a bug in Premiere CS4.2 (it is probably present in all versions of CS4)
    I am trying to build some professional looking transitions, but to accomplish them I am having to nest sequences (though it would be nicer if I could add effects to transitions themselves to avoid nesting [cough] Adobe[cough], or be able to use transparent video clips as adjustment layers)
    Anyhow, 2 things: One, On my main timeline I have the Push Transition between two clips set to go from Top to Bottom (doesn't have an issue when going side to side)
    Second, I have a photoshop file being used  elsewhere on the timeline with a scale effect to use as a transition (going from 600% to 100% with no other motion).
    (Both are having the same issue - below)
    I have the Photoshop file and the Push transition on my main sequence which is then nested into another sequence so I could add a blur effect to the transitions, and then I have that sequence nested into a third sequence that is set to square pixels so I can output a quicktime to Youtube (the original 2 Sequences have a 1.21 widescreen aspect in case I want to go to dvd)
    My issue is that on the Square Pixel Sequence both the Top/Bottom Push Trans and The Photoshop file seem to get pushed over revealing either a black edge or the track below it. (which only happens at these points in the timeline, the rest is fine)
    But everything is fine in the other two sequences! So I'm not sure what's causing this issue other than a bug in Premiere.
    Just FYI, I did also try turning all the effects off (except the Push transition), but that didn't change anything.
    Thanks all for any help, (or a new CS4 update - wink, wink)
    I hope this is clear enough.

    There's a point that I don't understand, shouldn't a un-optimul workflow (using clips that require a lot of rendering power from the cpu and disk access) cause things to slow down or frames to drop?
    Why would such a situation cause every frame to be played with cpu and disk access to spare but cause frames to be played in the wrong order? I've never encountered anything like this before.
    There are no stuttering or gaps between frames, just frames being played as if the clips were in the wrong order.
    Example:
    Sequence A contains Sequence B then C
    Sequence B: Clip 1, 2, 3, 4
    Sequence C: Clip 5, 6, 7, 8
    Playing from Sequence A: Clip 1, 3, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
    Playing from Sequence B: Clip 1, 2, 3, 4
    Playing from Sequence C: Clip 5, 6, 7, 8
    Playing from Sequence A (again): Clip 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
    *Wait a while, do something else*
    Playing from Sequence A: Clip 1, 3, 3, 3, 5, 6, 8, 7
    (Different order happens)
    No clips or frames were ever dropped.

  • Premiere Pro CC crashes because of volume keyframes in the nested sequence

    Hello. Looks like there is a bug in the Adobe Premiere Pro CC 8.2.0(65) Build.
    The problem is that Premiere crashes each time I have volume keyframes on the clips inside a nested sequence.
    So I have one Master sequence and I put a Nested sequence in it. In the Nested sequence I have few subclips with volume keyframes on them. Premiere crashes each time as I roll the playback head over the Master's timeline with the Nested sequence in it. Everything works fine if i delete all volume keyframes on the subclips inside the Nested sequence.
    I also noticed that there is no issues when I roll the playback head over these subclips(with or without keyframes) while I am in the Nested sequece. It only occurs on the Master's timeline and in any place.

  • Premiere Pro CC Crashing When Rendering Nested Sequences

    When I try to render out my project which has a nested sequence (see below),
    As you can see I have 2 sequences. My original cut is "IN CAR". I then have another sequence titles "TEST" in which I have laid out the entire sequence of "IN CAR". When going to render this project, I simply get an error saying "Error Compiling Movie".
    I can render a single sequence without any trouble.. but as soon as there is a nested sequence, it crashes.
    Is there something I'm doing wrong?
    My specs:

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    The Unknown Error is the bane of the PP editor, simply because the cause is unknown, and without that, there's no way to suggest a definitive fix.
    You'll have to experiment with different things, see what works and what doesn't.

  • How to color correct an entire nested sequence?

    Hi Everyone,
    So I'm attempting to color correct a camera at a time (multiple clips from the same source clip) which in recent projects I did individually. Is there a way to select an entire string of clips and color correct them and apply all at once in a nested sequence or am I doomed to color each individual clip in the nested sequence with no selection and paste options? Thanks in advance guys.
    Mike Diaz

    in sony vegas it would be a matter of placing all the same angle shots on one video track, then using the track fx to have one effect be applied to all the clips on that track. similar to how its done with audio in a daw. premiere doesn't have that feature and tries to make up for it with adjustment layers and nesting but its not the same. adjustment layer is easy unless the footage is mixed on the timeline, then you would have to try nesting footage on a separate track. nesting makes it messy to go back and edit, unlike the track based fx in sony vegas, so might do this as one of the last steps of the project.

  • Offline edit, timecode and nested sequence question

    I'm working from DVcam dubs on a 10 song, 5 camera video shoot. It will be mastered from original HDCam tapes eventually. Too keep things orderly I planned to create a sequence for each song, edit from a multiclip, then dump each finished song segment into a new master segment. However when I ran a test to see if this would work it seems that the new master sequence time codes only refer to the time codes from the individual song sequences, not the original tape (each clip starts at 01:00:00;00). Thus when I go to recapture from the original HD tapes, the time codes would be off. Is there a way to make this process work or should I be editing everything into one master sequence right from the start? I plan on making an offline copy of the final sequence using Media Manager so when I take it to the final production house they can just capture the final sequence with handles, not all 6 hours of tape. It's just cuts and dissolves. Any workflow suggestions would be appreciated.

    The clips should still reference their original timecode on the tapes as long as you have not replaced the clips themselves with proxy clips or self-contained movies that have had their timecode modified. This should not be affected by nesting sequences.
    You should probably collapse your multiclips before running Media Mangler.
    I actually use the proxy clips method often when working with multiclip. As you are aware, the multiclip can only be as long as the longest angle, and you cannot have multiple clips in one angle, so what to do if several tapes are captured in pieces? -
    I create a sequence which is an image of each tape, with the starting timecode modified to match the tape's timecode. I then export these to reference movies which I re-import to FCP. I then assign the relevant reel names to these proxy clips, and create my longer multiclips with these.
    I cut my multiclip sequence, collapse it and use MM to create offline:remove unused. It creates a new sequence which correctly references my tapes and timecode. I was amazed the first time this worked for me.
    Hope this helps.
