Make nest without audio tracks

Hi all,

Maybe I am using the wrong tool for the wrong job.  I have several tracks of graphics that I want to combine into one item on one track.

Nesting seems to work well but when I nest the items and use them in the timeline an additional audio tracks appears.

I don't want any audio tracks in my nested item, can the audio track be removed?  Or am I using the wrong tool?

      Correct answer Punker

      I have the same doubt about this. I created a lowerthird and nested, I always pull it to the timeline and it comes with audio, is there a way to unlink the audio track so that when I pull it the audio track doesn't come?


      Ok actually just figured it out with the help of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckvU3zlpSfA

       

      Simply right-click the nested sequence in the bin, select Modify > Audio Channels... > and uncheck all the audio channel boxes. Now it will come into the sequence as video only.

      No, I am layering multiple graphics.

      I see. I tried it and it works as expected. see if your process is the same:

      no additional audio appeared in the sub-sequence or the master sequence. how is your's behaving when you do that?

      Yes.... now add that nested sequence back into the timeline.  That is when the audio track appears.

      choose "Nest" instead of "Make Subsequence" and it will already be there in the timeline with no audio. the GIF is maybe a bit fast on that section.

      I have also realised that nested sequence are limited to the length of the original sequence and can't be stretched.  Is there another way of combining graphics?

      you can always make the clip longer in the nested sequence and you will be able to stretch it in the master sequence. of course if you don't need to edit or animate it then a good practice is to layer it in photoshop before importing it... but sometimes we are already in the process so might as well do it in premiere.

        if you want 2 clips to be on one track just drag them to the track, no nesting required.
