Add Resolution and Scaling Options When Creating a Nest

By default, Premiere creates a nest with the same resolution as the sequence it was created in. The problem with this is that if you are working with video/images that are higher resolution than the source sequence, and you nest them in the sequence, scaling the nest does not preserve the source media's resolution. For example, nesting a 4k clip in a 1080p timeline effectively converts it to 1080p, resulting in a drop in video quality when you increase the nest's scale.

The typical workaround is to scale/reposition the clips within the nest (instead of the nest itself), change the nest sequence settings after you create it, or skip the nest feature and create a new sequence with your desired resolution, adding what you want nested to it, and then bringing that sequence into your main sequence. These workarounds involve way too many steps for something that should be simple. After all, a nest is just a regular sequence and has all the same settings as any other sequence.

I propose adding resolution settings to the pop-up window when creating a nest. You can manually change the resolution or have it autodetect the highest resolution clip that is being nested. If the resolution is changed from the default, there should be additional options to resize the clips/media being nested (None, Scale, Fit, Fill), and how you want the nest resized in the main sequence (None, Scale, Fit, Fill).
