Nest clips and use nested sequences

Applies to 0.11Updated 29 Oct 20261 min read

Select clips, right-click and choose Nest… to turn them into one clip that holds its own sequence. Double-click a nested clip to open it.

Nest selected clips

1. Select the clips in the timeline.
2. Right-click them and choose Nest….
3. Type a Nested Sequence Name. The clips become one clip, and their sequence appears in the Project panel.

Sequence › Make Subsequence (⇧U) makes a new sequence from the selected clips and leaves the timeline as it is.

Place another sequence as a clip

Choose Clip › Nested Sequence › Place Another Sequence Here as a Clip… to put a whole sequence at the playhead, for example a reusable intro.

Open and update a nested sequence

• Double-click a nested clip, or choose Clip › Nested Sequence › Reveal Nested Sequence (⌥⌘F), to open what is inside.
• Make Nested Clips Live shows edits made inside a nest at once.
• Update Nested Sequence Clips refreshes every nested clip whose sequence has changed.

Nested sequences in Premiere Pro projects open as nested clips too; see Open a .prproj or XML project.
