How to Nest a Sequence
Adding nested sequences to video projects gives you more freedom and control over your clips. Nested sequences can be used in many video-editing programs, including Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro. You can manipulate multiple sequences collectively by adding special effects or generating new variations. Nested sequences enable you to edit multiple versions of your video masterpiece just like any other clip. The process of nesting, or editing an entire sequence within another video sequence, is simple. But it can be powerful and far-reaching.

Tips & Warnings
There is empty space at the beginning of each nested sequence. Simply trim the unwanted frame, if applicable.
Nesting may increase the processing demands on your system, and thus the time to view certain effects at your desired rate.
A nested sequence does not reflect duration changes. Therefore, you must use standard trimming methods to add or remove time.
