method to reveal all instances of nested footage?

Explorer ,
Oct 23, 2025 Oct 23, 2025

Hi! I am trying to find all instances of nested footage in a cut. Is there a way to command-F all nests? 

 

Relatedly, is there a command to bring contents of the nested footage into the main timeline, or is that a manual job? 

 

Thank you!

Hi there,

Welcome to the community! To clarify, are you looking for a method to identify all instances of a nested clip on a timeline and a way to unnest the nested clip on the master timeline?

 

Thanks,

Sumeet

Hi Sumeet! 

 

Yes, I am looking for a method to identify all instances of nested clips on a timeline. 

 

(I actually don't need to learn how to unnest them anymore--someone else posted about that topic in this forum and got some good answers.)

Try to check if there is a script for this in Automation Blocks or if you can create one

that will show you nested sequences from the Project Panel

To select all nested sequences in a timeline:

  1. Select the timeline panel.
  2. Press Cmd + F (Mac) or Ctrl + F (Windows) to open the Timeline Search box.
  3. In the search field, type: Media Type.
  4. Set the search filter to Sequence.
  5. Click Find All.


This will highlight all nested sequences currently used in your timeline.
