Merging a clip without nesting

Question

Hello!Does anyone know how to merge clips into one without nesting? Ive made a lot of changes to a nested clip like: speed down 10% using optical flow > render > nest > speed down another 10% > render > nest.. repeated this process a few times until the image became very slow and it worked out very well . But when I start to export it takes several hours to do so because a nested clip is not really one clip. everytime I nest the clip it creates another "layer" and thats a lot of information to process. I want to be able to consolidate all the changes ive done in a one clip like merging layers on Photoshop. I could export it and bring it back to the project and replace it, but it would take me several hours Just to export that 15sec clip. Does anyone know a better and fast way of doing this right on the project? Thanks

I don't know why you are doing it that way you are, several passes at 10% slow down each? Why not just go 30% slomo and be done with it.

However, if you have a reason and want to continue, I would suggest exporting out each pass, and importing the exported clip, and replace the modified clip with the not modified export. And then another 10%, etc... so do your 'lots of changes' to the clip, export, import in it's place, do a lot of changes to that clip, export, import in it's place... When exporting, use ProRes or Cineform and the quality will remain high.

That is the only way I can think of doing it.
