420 Part III Fine-Tuning Your Edit
To copy and paste a sequence into another sequence:
1 In the Browser, copy the sequence by doing one of the following:
 Select a sequence in the Browser, then choose Edit > Copy (or press Command-C).
 Control-click a sequence in the Browser, then choose Copy from the shortcut menu.
2 In the Canvas or Timeline, open the destination sequence, then move the playhead to
the location where you want to paste the nested sequence.
3 Specify the destination tracks where you want the nested sequence to go.
4 Choose Edit > Paste (or press Command-V).
The selected sequence is now nested, or placed, into the second sequence.
Making a Section of Clips Into a Nested Sequence
Instead of adding a nested sequence, you can also turn an existing range of clips in a
sequence into a nested sequence using the Nest Items command.
To create a nested sequence using the Nest Items command:
1 In the Timeline, select a range of clip items that you want to replace with a nested
sequence.
Note: If the clip items are linked, any items that are linked to those items in the
Timeline are also selected.
2 Choose Sequence > Nest Item(s) (or press Option-C).
