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?

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.

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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...

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • Applying filters to a nested sequence

    Hey guys.
    This is probably simple, but anyhow, here goes. I'm on a powermac g5 with Final Cut HD.
    I've layered video material and then nested it to create a single video layer which is easier to handle. I then want to apply further filters to the nested material as a whole.
    How do I do this? I select the nested block in the timeline, click on the chosen filter, but no tab appears in the viewer that will allow me to manipulate the filter settings and so on for the nest as a whole.
    If I double click on the nested sequence in the timeline, I get returned to the nested sequence in a new timeline, with all the layers visible. Again it doesn't pop up in the viewer. Surely this can't mean that I have to apply the filter to each layer individually!?
    I'd appreciate any help!
    Best,
    Richard

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Compression Markers in nested sequence.

    My main sequence contains 14 nested sequences (chapters and credits).
    Audio is on the main sequence only (not in the nested sequences).
    When I opened the first nested sequence and added Compression Markers, the markers appeared green above the video track. They are not visible on the main sequence.
    After adding markers to the remaining seqences, they too, appear green above their respective video tracks, but they also appear pink at the bottom of each nested sequence on the main sequence timeline.
    Can anyone tell me why this is - and whether I've made a mistake. I can soon re-do the markers in the first sequence but I'm not keen on re-doing the rest!

    Thanks both of you.
    Because of the time difference, I'd already finished adding the chapter markers by the time I got your replies.
    Presumably, I should have added them to the main sequence instead of the nested ones. Would this work?
    Anyway, for now I'm sending each sequence in its own right to Compressor - rather than as a full movie. The markers show up in the preview window. (They don't show if I export the nested sequence - why didn't I check this?)
    My intention is to assemble these as a track on DVDSP to make my movie.
    If this doesn't work, I'll have to move the playhead to each marker, then do the Add Edit job. Time consuming but better than starting from scratch.

  • "decomposing" nested sequences for online re-link/tape capture

    I have been “nesting” sequences within my timeline as follows:
    (for discussion purposes I have redcued my timeline to a small sub-section)
    Nesting is a feature I’m learning to really love and use a lot of in my edits! Gives me a great range for applying effects etc.,.
    My problem arises when I generate my EDL or XML to hand off to the post house who go back and recapture the online RED footage from LTO. The EDL doesn’t reference the clips contained within the nest but just the nest name and in and out points. Really not cool, not cool at all!
    How can I go about “decomposing” the nests when generating an EDL or XML?
    I want to create a hi-res version of my timeline, without deleting nests and replacing them with shots as this will then get rid of the effects I have applied to the nested sequences.    

    This only works when you start a new project and disable the "insert and overwrite sequences as nests or individual cips".
    By doing so, you can start the edit from a nested sequence and the "root clip" will be inserted in the sequence.
    But in my case (and obviously anthonyjcox's case) we have already made the edit and didn't unchek that "insert and overwrite sequences as nests or individual cips" button. So every clip in the sequence is liked to our nested sequence. We are looking for an option that would "un-nest" or "un-link" these clips.
    So does anyone know if there is a way to fix that?
    Thank you!

  • Undo nest sequence

    Hi
    I nested a sequence with a heap of layers.... since then I've been chopping and changing, and everything is all over the place!!!
    Is there a way to un-nest the nested
    Niel

    You can command + drag the nested sequence from the browser onto the timeline but there's not really a way to "un-collapse" the nested sequence that I know of.
    If you've edited the nested sequence those edits will be lost

  • Un-Nesting sequence clips

    First of all, I know there is no "un-nest" command already. Though god knows why the developers haven't put one in yet because I've seen questions about this EXACT problem going back over 7 years on forums. Basically, I made a sequence a while back cutting sequence-to-sequence before I knew abotu the "Overwrite/Insert Sequence Content" command. So I have a 60-second cut with 30 or so nested clips. I need to "un-nest" those clips so I can make an EDL. I have found tutorials that suggest:
    1) Option-Double-Click the nested sequence to open the nested clip into the viewer and then Overwrite Sequence Content from there. Problem here is, the sequence opened in the viewer doesn't seem to be the actual nested clip (no audio tracks) and when I try to Overwrite Sequence Content it just uses the exact same nested clip again.
    2) Create a new sequence, Command-drag (holding Command AFTER starting to drag) the original sequence into the new one. Same problem - this just drags the same nested clips into the new sequence. No help.
    I'm going a little crazy at this point. There doesn't even seem to be a good way to match back to the nested sequence with the same In-Out points used in the cut to copy and paste or even build a new sequence. I'm one step away from just eye matching the whole thing or punching in TC clip by clip, but even for a :60 cut that woudl be a pain. Not to mention that there absolutely HAS to be a solution for this because there's no way Apple would be this ridiculously tone-deaf to the way professional editors work for this long. Any ideas?
    - eric wais.

    Oh I am very very familiar with EDL's. This is for a telecine so it needs to be as basic as possible. But I've found that even exporting an XML from FCP into Color doesn't support the nested sequences. Whole thing goes haywire.
    For what it's worth, I did find one "solution" that saves you from havign to eye match. Once you Option-Double click the nested sequence into the viewer, you can make a subckip, then load THAT subclip into the viewer, then edit the sequence content back into the cut. A stupid amount of steps to do what shoudl take one keystroke, but it is what it is. Took me about 5 minutes to do it to a :60 sequence. Bottom line is I'll never ever ever ever cut like this again (or, god willing, have to use FCP).

  • 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.
