Nested Sequence One Layer or Multiple?

Greetings,
I have several sequences in my composition and want to pull them in on the master sequence timeline. The problem is when I drag another sequence in it isn't one video and one audio layer, it is bringing in all the layers and they are all editable from the master sequence timeline. I need imported nested sequences to be one video and one audio layer. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks for your help.

Perhaps I found the answer. I suppose the "Insert and overwrite sequences as nests or individual clips" button was off its default state. It is the icon to the top left of the Timeline window above the Video and Audio tracks. It looks like a little arrow pointing to the right either to one track or many. When I toggled that my nested clips came in as one video and audio. Never knew that option existed and not sure I see the use of it.

How do i take one layer with multiple selections...

how do i take one layer with multiple selections and make those selections their own layer?

Yes sir. It w was really hard to explain. It is discontiguous segments that are separated by transparent areas. And I want those non transparent areas to be on their own layer. I have a photo shop file that has a bunch of buttons on them and they are on a transparent background. It is one layer. I want to select all the buttons and put them on their own layers. I can do this manually by selecting a button and cmd Just to a new layer, but when I have 200 buttons it is a daunting task.

How do I use one layer for multiple pages?

I've been using Photoshop to create a series of web pages. I have about 20 such pages right now.
Unfortunately, I need to change the navigation menu that is found on all 20 pages.
To make these changes, do I need to change 20 different files? Or is there a way to link one layer group to multiple PSD files so that editing it once results in it changing on all 20 pages?
Thanks,
C

You'll have to make some sort of change to each document, but it should only take a few minutes when there's only 20 of them. You edit the group in one, then for each of the others, simply duplicate or drag the edited group into it and delete the old group.
There is also the option of structuring your workflow with Smart Objects which can be refreshed in each document with a common document containing only the menu group. For linking of Smart Object content, there is a third party plug-in but I don't know whether it is reliable.

One layer, many photos

What is the best way to use one layer in multiple photos. I separated a group of people in one photo and would like to place them in several other photos. I have been able to have the original photo in the bottom of Elements and copy the separated group. I can copy and paste that as a layer into the working area of another photo and then add it. However sometimes it blurs. Is this because the two photos are different resolutions? Is it possible to have the group as a seperate work but can not use that as a layer. I'm rather new to Elements and just trying to learn.

Hi,
Instead of Copy paste you can directly work with Layer via copy and duplicate layer command to desired Image.
1)select the object you want with the use of quick select tool .
2)Go to layer menu > new > layer via copy.(it made a seperate layer without affecting your original image)
3)Right click on the new layer and select Duplicate layer command.
4)In the Duplicate layer window select the image on which you want to copy the object.
5)Go to destination image , select new added layer , select the Move tool and work on bounding boxe to adjust the new layer content
yes , Pixel dimension difference shows blur on pasting/copying , But you can use the move tool 's Bounding box to adjust the object.

Combo of Unsharp and "Film Bloom" layer creating transparency in nested sequence

I've run into a really specific glitch.
Applying these adjustment layers above a clip inside a nested sequence creates partial transparency of the nest clip in the main/master sequence. Inside the nested layer, no transparency of the video clip is created.
So above a video clip is:
1) Adjustment layer holding Fast Blur effect, with layer set to 10% opacity (and a Screen or Overlay blend mode, but even normal causes the issue).
2) Above that layer is another adjustment layer holding Unsharp Mask effect.
Within that sequence, everything is fine. However, when that sequence is nested in another sequence, the nested clip has a slight transparency (as though opacity were set to only 90% or 95%).
ONLY the combination of both of those effects together creates the unwanted transparency. Even regular Sharpen effect doesn't do it.
Anyone had this or a similar problem before?

I was afraid of that. Hoping I just had a bone-head setting wrong somewhere, but afraid I'd have to export, then import. That is a pita.
The camera is amazing. Been using it with my Canon lenses, and LOVING it! Waveform would be amazingly useful if I could change my iris without putting the lens on the 5D first! But with the Birger mount due out in April, it's going to be a fantastic piece of gear. Upgrading from the HVX200, there is just SUCH a huge jump in quality. I've been really happy.
Oh, and I haven't looked at the hair yet, but it's probably something from the effects I've added. I've stretched her legs about 4 inches and so have multiple layers there. I'll be sure to look more closely before I finish this up.
Thanks for all the responses. You guys are great!

Adding directional blur to adjustment layer/nested sequence

When adding a directional blur to adjustment layer or a nested sequence in MPE hardware mode the sides get dark (alpha channel shows).
When turning MPE off the issue is gone.
Already submitted a bugreport but found out its MPE hardware.
Seen this issue in a previous version of Premiere. Think it was fixed then, but now its back.
MPE on:
MPE off: this is how it should be.
Can someone test this, and see it its reproducable.

This is how it looks for me when I take a extension with a alpha channel over a simple BG and turn Cuda on then turn Cuda off.
The image above is with GPU acceleration turned on.
This image below this sentence is with software on.
In a way it appears simliar to your findings since when my GPU accleration is turned on you can see a white boarder creeping up from the bottom and top but with it off you don't see it.
However when I turn the blur up higher and try it again I get these results.
GPU On in the image directly below.
GPU off in the image below this sentence.
I'm using the exact same blur settings in both images... In the top image you can see that white is taking over the picture.
This has GPU on in the image below this sentence.
This is Software only on in the pic below this sentence.
Not really sure if this confirms anything for you or not though. Just figured I'd post it cause the issue seemed intresting to me. Anyways though here were my findings.

One layer as track matte for multiple layers

I have some animated text. Im using a solid as a track matte mask out the text. Instead of precomping all of my text or making multiple copies of the solid acting as a track matte I wondering if its possible to add an expression to my text layers say, in effect, use this one layer as a track matte.

Use the Set Matte effect.

Can one jump to time in nested sequence

I have two sequences, SEQ-A and SEQ-B, and SEQ-B is included (nested) inside SEQ-A.
If I am watching SEQ-A and and find a point in time I need to change something in SEQ-B, how I can go to SEQ-B at the point in time I am watching in SEQ-A? How can I know "what time it is" in SEQ-B? Seems like I should be able to see that - it seems very pertinent.
I hope I am explaining it correctly. Basically, the CTI in SEQ-A may not always reflect the same point in time in SEQ-B. I can't imagine I am left to guess where I should go to do a precise edit in SEQ-B.
I know there must be a way.
Paul

I wouldn't mind being able to see the time of the selected clip too. Like when you hover the cursor over the clip, you see duration, in-time out-time, but what about CTI location for the selected or cursor hovering clip...
That's useful info too. But your tip works well, even though targeting the layer is a bit out of the way.
It would be nice to have the option when double clicking a nested sequence to go to the CTI (if available) - or for example CNTRL+Double Click or something.

Is it possible to copy groups/paths from one layer and paste to other multiple layers?

Note Layer > Duplicate will not work in this regard, because I want to copy one group of paths/elements from one layer to other existing layers, not to a new layer.
I have not found a command for this, nor have I found any scripts. Note I'm using CS3 but have been thinking about an upgrade.
Thanks in advance.

I actually use the Release to Layer (Sequence) function frequently to build my animated steps, for example when animating some text in a way that Premiere won't handle. This releases all the intermediary objects in a transition to new layers, but the background image still needs to be manually pasted into each newly created layer.
I have read about "Paste to all Artboards," but that feature was not included in CS3. I believe it was released in CS5. Perhaps I need to get an upgrade. Thank you for your kind replies.
I am a Mac-based CAD user going back to the mid-1990s, and it's interesting how many of the helpful, time-saving features we took for granted in those drawing programs are either not included in Illustrator products or are just being added in recent releases. I would still be using programs such as PowerDraw/PowerCADD if they hadn't gone out of business. Even with some of the expansion packs I've used, Illustrator doesn't hold a candle to PowerCADD.

Why does my nested sequence have only one channel of audio?

Hi,
Working in Prem Pro CC on my Mac Pro.
I have a number of interviews, each shot with 3 cameras and with audio from a separate audio recorder. The audio has two channels, Ch1 has the boom mic and Ch2 a radio mic.
I created a sequence, placed the audio into channels 1 & 2 (they are linked) before placing the video tracks onto timeline tracks 1-3. Everything's synced nicely and so I nested the shots and then I enabled multicam on the nested sequence.
However, now when I edit the nested sequence into my edit sequence, it has only one channel of audio. I tried Modify>Audio Channels but within that page, in the option to select 'Source Channels' the options are "None" and "Channel 1".
How do I get my nested sequence to place both audio channels into my edit sequence?
Any help much appreciated.

Nevermind folks, I figured it out. I had my render control settings set to Apple Pro Res on some timelines.

Import multiple images to one layer

I want to make a sprite. I have the sliced button psd images. I don't have the original psd file so I have to reassemble them in psf. The problem is I want to import all the button images to the canvas and then reassemble them. Photoshop let me put one image down and I guess it wants to create layers for the 2nd and 3rd image.
I don't need all those layers but I can't figure out to export all the sliced button images together into one layer? I tried selecting all images in the bridge and holding down the shift key to drag them to ps. This seems to have created a smart object of all the images combined on a second layer. I couldn't delete the object but ended deleting that layer. So my question is how to import all the sliced buttons into one layer?
Thanks

Once all the images are on their own layer, if you want to then put them onto a single layer, you can merge the layers. In the layer panel click on the icon in the upper right hand corner and select merge layers from that menu.
or right click on all selected layers to select merge layers
If you have a smart object, right click on that layer and select rasterize layer
Flatten layers will work as well but locks the resulting layer as a background.
Play around with the menu option next to merge layers and see what they do to multi-selected layers or to layers that are hidden. Very useful once you start using them.
Another hidden tip: Selecting all layers and using the key combination shift-control-alt-e will make a merged copy and place it at the top. {replace control with the mac equivelent if your on a mac}

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.

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.

Why is my nested sequence layering the effects?

Hey Everyone,
So after I color correct my master clips, I sync them, remove the unwanted audio, then nest them. BUT, in the nested sequence it seems that all the video tracks layer the video effects throwing my nested sequence in a horrible color landscape of overexposed or over colored clips! Can anyone help me?
Mike Diaz

JSS1138,
I apologize for the confusion, I'm new to Premiere CS6. When I import my master clips, I lay them on their respective video track 1, 2, or 3 because I usually only shoot with 3 cams (see screen shot) I label them for what camera footage they are: Camera 1, Camera 2, and Camera 3. Then I bring them into the sequence on individual tracks stacked so Plural Eyes can sync them on top of what will be my main audio recorder. Then Plural Eyes imports the all the video and audio clips back in Premiere but now all the video clips are in sync with my main audio source. Now I will have a sequence with 3 video tracks with their respective clips from their own camera synced up but not color corrected or nested on one video track yet. This is where I color correct each camera on their own video track and apply to the entire camera's footage. But the problem is when I nest all the video and audio tracks together, it overlays the effects instead of leaving the individual camera with its own effects.

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.
