How to sync play head position in a nested sequence to the the play head in the original sequence.

Question

After creating a nested version of 3 video tracks, I want to be able to put play head on nested sequence and, upon returning to the original (master multitrack sequence) have the play head at the same point.

Any way to dynamically sync the play head in two sequences that are "parent and children"?

To sync the playhead position between a nested sequence and the original sequence in Adobe Premiere Pro, follow these steps:

Drag your nested sequence from the Project panel into the Source Monitor.
Click the Settings icon (wrench icon) in the Source Monitor and enable Open Sequence in Timeline. This will open the nested sequence in its own Timeline.
Now you’ll have separate Timelines for both your Source and Program Monitors.
Go back to the Settings menu and enable Gang Source and Program. This option syncs the playhead positions between the two monitors.

With this setup, moving the playhead in one sequence will automatically update the playhead in the other.
