Nesting Nonmatching Sequences
Real-time playback of nested sequences is possible under the following conditions:
 Codec, pixel aspect ratio, and anamorphic properties of nested and parent sequences
do not have to match
 All other parameters, such as image dimensions and field dominance, must match
Important:
Final Cut Pro does not allow you to nest one sequence into another if their
frame rates do not match.
For example, a DVCPRO 50 NTSC sequence nested into a DV NTSC sequence plays back
in real time because both sequences have the same frame rate, image dimensions, and
field dominance.
Note: Imported Adobe Photoshop files with multiple layers become sequences in
Final Cut Pro. To avoid mixed-frame-rate sequences when nesting layered Photoshop
sequences, you can change the frame rate of the Photoshop sequence. For more
information, see “
Working with Layered Photoshop Files
” on page 407.
