Nested Sequences Not Rendering

Hi, I am using Premiere Pro 4.2.1.  I have a problem where I have applied a dip to black transition across multiple clips in a sequence, then I put that sequence in a new sequence to apply some colour correction, however whenever I render the new sequence the transitions do not work.  If I render them in the original sequence then they do.  Has anyone else come across this?
Thanks
Paul.

Sorry I should have mentioned, that the transitions also do not appear when exporting the second sequence to AME for the final output.

  • 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.

  • Why does my nested sequence need rendering?

    Folks, I have a twelve sequences that are fully rendered and I am nesting them onto one timeline. The new timeline has the same settings as the other sequences. Why do my already rendered timelines require rerendering on the nested sequence? Is there any way around this. It would seem there's some way to take already rendered sequences and line them up on one sequence without having to rerender.
    The project is XDCAM EX 1080p24

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

  • Freaky nested sequences

    Hi, anyone experienced the following:
    When double clicking on a nested sequence in the timeline to edit that sequence, any edits or changes you make to that sequence do not update back in the parent timeline. For instance if you cut a clip out or rearrange clips in the nested sequence then go back to the parent timeline you see the sequence as it was before you made those changes. Then go back to the nested sequence timeline and see all your edits/changes have been lost!!
    The only workaround I see is to remove the nested sequence from the parent timeline, make your edits/changes then drop the sequence back into the parent timeline.
    Am I missing something? I thought it would be a case of the nested sequence auto-updating itself in the parent timelline after any changes made, as for example in after effects.

    Hello Chris...
    Did your nested sequence need rendering when you created it? If so, the problem is caused by FCP referencing the origonal render files, which themselves act as little QT clips.
    After you have made your changes in the 'open' nested sequence, back in your main sequence, you need to force the nested seq to render again. You can do this by quickly moving the opacity overlay line up and down, or disabling - re-anabling the clip. The changes will now be recognised.

  • What happens to previews in nested sequences?

    For the sake of keeping this simple, If I were to have a
    main/master sequence comprised of
    2 nested sequences
    When I render (preview) out one of my nested sequences (not just effects, but the entire work area), why don't I see my timline turn green on my main/master sequence?  It seems to stay yellow or red.
    I have all the sequences set to render the same (Cineform High-HD).
    I want to save time on final renders by using the preview files, but are they even available if I haven't previewed on my main/master sequence?  If I did preview rendering on any sequence deeper inside the master, do those even get used or does Premiere ignore them?
    I rarely would preview out an entire master sequence.  Most likely, as the projects are never as simple as my above scenario, I have some nests that go 10 deep.  Sometimes the best place to do the render preview is 5 nested sequences deep. 
    What happens to the preview files on nested comps?  When you turn on "use render previews" when exporting, does Premiere dig deep through all the nested sequences to utilize that info?

    Bummer.  So they are essentially useless unless you can build a complicated 30-minute TV show on only one single sequence (which would be a total mess).

  • Audio mixes not correct when inserting nested sequence.

    Ah, yet another anomalous behavior issue...
    I commonly edit packages for a program I regularly work on, then drop the nested sequences into the show timeline...it's easier that way, and the EP likes it that way. However, I occasionally come across an issue where the nested audio sequence doesn't "remember" the mix levels of the component parts. For instance, I just made an audio adjustment to the open of the show, and dropped the nested open into the show timeline...where it promptly "forgot" the music rampdown I'd just done.
    The workaround? I slipped the audio track, blowing out the render files...then dragged the clip back into sync, re-rendered again...and then the mix stuck.
    Probably I should do this sort of stuff in Soundtrack, eh?

    FCS has lots of quirks (I hesitate to call them bugs because they are not always repeatable). Still, people need to keep in mind that the FCS suite is built upon an ancient (in computer years) core technology (and code). While everyone is holding their breath for 64bit thinking it will be faster, I'm cringing because I know what a massive bit of code this suite represents and the thought that a complete rewrite will get everything correct is simply unimaginable.
    [/rant on] My simple hope is they do not keep chasing after these consumer formats (including BR) and simply focus on making the core of the program function exactly as it should - especially media management. The whole 32bit/64bit nonsense is a distraction. Stuff that is stable and works the same every time - even if a little quirky- is MUCH more valuable in the professional environment than dumping in loads of new stuff. [/rant off]
    Have fun.

  • Image in nested sequence does not let me export my project

    Hello,
    Here's my issue:
    In my Premiere project, I have a "Master" sequence in which I have normal a/v files and two nested sequences, for the video intro and ending.
    The problem is with the nested intro sequence, which is composed of several images that I've animated, plus sound. I've narrowed the source of the problem to one specific image in this sequence, which is 5760x3240. I've read in other threads that images larger than 1920x1080 can be a problem, but couldn't find further info.
    What happens when I try to render my video in 1080p with this image in a nested sequence is the encoding fails with AME giving me this log message -
    " - Encoding Time: 00:00:01
    09/22/2014 10:45:46 PM : Encoding Failed
    Export Error
    Error compiling movie.
    Unknown error."
    When I try to render in 720p with the image in the nested sequence it works fine. When I take the image out of the nested sequence and just put it on the "Master" sequence it also renders just fine, even in 1080p.
    So my question is - why can't I render my project if I have this image in a nested sequence, and if possible, how can I fix it?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello again,
    While trying to do what you told me I've come across something interesting. Apparently it's not only that one image that's responsible for the problem. Here's how I have it setup:
    Premiere for some reason seems to have trouble rendering the still image "BG2.png" (1920x1080) AND the problematic 5760x3240 nested image at the same time. As "BG2.png" does not actually appear until later, I tried cutting it just before the point where it should appear. With that, AME was able to render the video until the point where "BG2.png" started, then it failed again. So I checked in the nested sequence and also cut the 5760x3240 image (because it appears briefly in the start of the sequence then has its oppacity set to 0, it wasn't a problem). So what I had was the 5760x3240 image cut after it appeared (instead of just turning down the oppacity) and BG2 cut before it appeared, that way those images didn't overlap in the master sequence. With that, AME was able to render it just fine. So I have no idea why, but those 2 specific images won't let my sequence render when they ocuppy the same time. Any ideas?

  • Video effects not working on nested sequences in Premiere Pro CS5

    Hi -
    I am having some trouble with Premiere ProCS5. I have a project with a few clips which I put together in one sequence. I put this sequence into another sequence. There I will add one or two tracks of additional images and apply color correction.
    The problem is: None of the video effects I drag onto the sequence (which now is a nested sequence) have any effect. Whatever I change in the effect controls will not sho up in the monitor. Audio effects do work, though. Furthermore, none of the tracks above the nested clip are displayed. To clarify: The nested track is on V1, another clip is on V2 and an image is on V3. Only V1 gets displayed.
    I know this is supposed to work and it actually does in another project created in the same version on the same machine with the same kind of material. But no matter how often I create a new project, applying video effects to a nested sequence just does not work.
    Even more strange is the fact that my applied effects DO show up in the "Export Settings" window. They DON'T, however, in the final rendered file. I would suggest this is a bug.
    What could be the reason for this behaviour?

    It can help if you Toggle Track Output to ON. The visibility icon on the left side on each track.

  • Volume changes not taking effect in nested sequence

    Sometimes when I make volume changes to a clip in a sequence the change does not carry over to the master sequence that the original is nested in. What am I doing wrong? I am double clicking on the nested sequence in the master sequence to open it before I make the change to it.
      Mac OS X (10.3.8)  

    I'm not sure it applies to your case, but I had similar problems with video rendering: changes to the nested sequence sometimes didn't appear in the nesting sequence, and attempt to render didn't work because ... there was nothing to render according to FCE.
    Then I forced FCE to render: I first selected the nested sequence (in the main sequence), then I first applied "Disable Clip" (contextual menu) and then "Enable Clip", and finally the render bar changed to red (or orange), meaning it needed rendering. I rendered, and all changes in the nested sequence appeared in the nesting sequence as well.
    Maybe it works also with volumes in your case...

  • Sequence (nested) will not open in timeline... help!

    As a disclaimer, I am a self-taught FCP user. I am in the final stages of finishing up a 53 minute documentary from footage I shot in Haiti right after the quake.
    So, I don't know whether it is an, +advised way+ of working, or not, but in my project I am using +nested sequences+ for each of the longer scenes in my project.
    That way I can easily move around the main scenes on the main projects timeline. For the smaller scenes and cutaway connectors, I add those clips directly onto the main Sequences timeline.
    So up until now, when I am an working on the main project in the main sequence on the timeline, if I want to work on one of the scenes (sequences) nested within, I double click the nested sequence on the timeline, and it then opens in the timeline itself, in a tab.
    Suddenly, one of my scene sequences will no longer open in the timeline (tab), and only appears in the viewer window. So, I can no longer edit it!
    Can anyone tell me how I can repair this?
    I really need help...
    (Btw, it is approx. 9pm now eastern time, and I have to run out, but wanted to post this before I did.
    So, if I do not respond back for a while, please forgive me...)

    Thanks a lot for the reply Tom,
    I am extremely worried about somehow making it worse, like FCP not working at all.
    As you are the only responder to my problem, I am even more concerned. Is my problem common?

  • Drag sequence into sequence (not nesting).

    Drag sequence into sequence (not nesting). It was possible in the previous version of Premiere but now, when I drag the sequence into a new sequence it's not mergind all video and audio into one clip anymore. It was REALLY usefull. How can I do it again. Don't tell me to NEST sequences... this is not the same and now what I need. I wss dragin the sequence from the browser into a new sequence so it was easy to add effect on the entire sequence and also, my audio clips were combine into that one clip sequence too which was amazing. Now, with Premiere pro CC, when I drag that sequence from the browser into a new sequence, I get the original sequence... just like if I've copy/paste the entire sequence... = really bad and useless !

    I wss dragin the sequence from the browser into a new sequence
    That is nesting.
    But with CC there is now the option of adding the sequence as a one clip, or adding the original clips from the sequence.  You'll find the switch in the top left of the sequence panel, under the timecode and near the magnet and wrench icons.

  • Premiere CC 2014.2 crashes when rendering or (rendering effects) In and Out SEQUENCE for playback in a Nested Sequence

    I have 4 internal HDD and an External. No matter where I assign Media Cache Files or Media Cache Database Premiere crashes within 100-300 frames in a Nested sequence. I am trying to move the caches around, deleting them, restarting a fresh nested sequence... nothing! I cannot get the short film done because of it. I have even formatted my hard drive and started fresh thinking that solves the problem, but it still remains. Anyone know what I can do?

  • Nested Sequence issue: keyframe scale setting changes after rendering?

    Hi,
    I'm using PremierePro CS5.5, and have been having this same issue since CS4. After nesting a group of clips, I make the timeline effects entries to animate the nested sequence. For this example, let's say I start at 00.00 with the scale set at 150%, and end the sequence with the scale set to 300%. Just zooming in. Looks OK, so I hit return and render the nested sequence. It plays back, all is good, but after it stops the 00.00 setting magically changes to 100% or some other percentage.  I've tried everything I can think of, from selecting Hold or Linear for the keyframe, to deleting all the keyframes and redoing the settings. It only happens with nested sequences and it seems to only be the scale setting that goes flukey. Anybody else have this happen and could you tell me what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    Christy

    Thanks for checking it out Jim. It doesnt happen every time, you know how that goes... just often enough to drive me batty. I'm doing animated whiteboard videos. Lots of short bits of video layered with graphics and stills, some effects, then all that is nested and sometimes the rate compressed. Then I zoom in a bit and that seems to be the last straw. Maybe I am just doing too much? It's a simple, uncomplicated look to the finished piece, but it takes a lot of cuts and tweaks to get it that way.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Time remapping a nested sequence results in black/empty video

    Hey!
    I have a long sequence (47 minutes), which I wish to time remap (to increase the speed at certain Keyframes). I have therefore nested the sequence into a Master Sequence, where I perform the time remapping. However I experience what appears to be a weird bug: At a certain frame the video turns black/empty and stays that way - even though the original sequence still has video material.
    It doesn't help splitting the clip (nested sequence) up in smaller clips and time remap those individually - the empty frames just appear earlier in each clip.
    Export works fine
    When I export the sequence as Media, the output seems fine however.
    I hope, that you are able to help me or tell me, if I'm doing something wrong.
    Thanks in advance!
    Hardware info
    I work on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014).

    it depends on how powerful the video card is, and how many accelerated effects are being used. it might slow you down a little, or alot. if you have an intel graphics, they arent very powerful to begin with, basically just good for browsing the web. however premiere tries to use them and they cause lots of problems. im not sure if its premiere or intel thats causing the problem, but they dont play nice together.  if you have the nvidia version macbook, you might have opencl or cuda available in the renderer menu. if it was on opencl, could try cuda, or opencl if it was on cuda.
