Premiere Pro CC 2018 (v12) Not Nesting Audio with Nesting a Sequence

Hey all,

Just updated to CC 2018, I don't know why they call it CC 2017 12.0, when you install it, it's called CC 2018, but that's besides the point. I just finished a multi audio and video track sequence that I want to nest into one to keep things tidy, which is not an uncommon task to do.  When I do that, only the video tracks condense into one nested track, the audio does nothing.  I thought maybe they wanted us to nest audio and video separately now, so I gave that a shot..Nope. If you nest just the audio, it adds a nested video layer above your top most track...

Is this a bug or do I need to change some new setting within the preferences?

Thanks,

Dan

I still am experiancing this issue even with the newst and current update of PR in 2022. its not always but its also not uncommom that i get this bug. the work around i found was simply to nest the video layer, then nest the audio layer and link both nested files together on the track. though when doing this you wont be able to ajust the audio and video at the same time when in one of the individual nests but its a meh fix.

I just realized that, in my case, it does nest the audio tracks but it doesn't substitute them by the nested audio in the timeline I'm nesting (they still look like the audio from the clips). So, if I bring the nested sequence from the project, it will have the nested audio track. It is still an extra step, though.

CLARIFICATION: not sure why no one from Adobe is responding to this but Nesting DOES WORK...it's just not working they way you might expect. This video here is a good explainer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=litdCz0ww_g However, I just used the same method (minus the adjustment layer) and produced working results in a project.You kind of have to trust PPro in that it is doing what you want. When you bring the nested sequence back into the timeline everything is there; for whatever reason (as @daasaced points out above) it is not automating the expected results.

Just to be very clear.  No this is not sorted in the latest release.  I am using Premiere Pro 2022 (Version 22.3.1)

 

I have a sequence which consists of a series of dance performances.  The video is shots edited from three cameras.  There are two audio tracks, the on camera audio from one of the cameras and the music track.  I want to nest them so that I can then top and tail and transition into each performace more easily.

 

To nest I select the video and audio tracks then right click and select "Nest":

 

 

As the Original poster on this post and others in teh replies have pointed out, the video clips nest into a single Green Nested clip, but the audio tracks stay as they originally were:

 

 

If you open up the Nested sequence you just created by its self, you can see that it contains all the video clips AND the audio clips as expected:

 

So the problem is that a nested audio track is not being created and displayed on the original sequence, even though the nested sequence its self does contain the audio files as it should.  And the problem is not that this is a bug from an old 2018/2019 update since this is the latest 2022 update.

 

Now for the love of god can someone at Adobe please acknowledge that nested sequences are not displaying correctly and let us know what we need to do to get them to work.

 

Thanks so much,

Tala

I looked through your images, and in the third (nested) image, what are you wanting to see different? Collapsed to one audio track, what?

 

As what shows in your image is the video with both audio tracks ... which would allow adjusting them separately if wanted/needed.

 

I'm guessing you want the audio tracks collapsed into one?

Hi @R Neil Haugen  i have this problem too, as i remember, when we nest, all of video and audio will be one track, is it right? But on my latest update PP 22.3.1, when i nest some video and some audios, the nest just happend to videos track, not audio tracks. I'll give some screenshot later.

i never found this problem with 22.0.

This is STILL an issue

I may have found a possible workaround (it worked for me at least).

I found that if you drag the created sequence from the Bin it will have the audio nested with the video. 

Then just delete the old Nested Sequence from the timeline. 

 

Hopefully that works for those in need.

I'm having the same bug on Premiere V15.2

I tried resetting preferences and caches

I tried on premiere V14 and 13.1.5

 

same deal. Impossible to nest a sequence with multi-track audio

Participant

I'm having what I guess is the same issue, but the strange thing is that my multi-track audio DOES get included in the nested sequence - when I actually open and play the nested sequence. But they remain as separate objects on the main timeline and the audio of the nested sequence don't play out on the main timeline. This means I can't even fix it with a workaround (I was going to try and manually copy the audio tracks into the nested sequence - but since they were already there, just not actually working, this doesn't work). Grrr...

Hi Guys

This thread has been going for some time and it seems that no-one has yet found a solution. I have been experiencing a similar issue today and after playing around have found another way to NEST a sequence with multiple audio channels. All you have to do is drag the sequence you want to nesat from a bin onto another timeline and it automatically nests video and audio even if there are multiple tracks of both. Hope it works for y'all 🙂

Hi Joost

I am on 15.0 latest upgrade and was experiencing the exact same problem as all the others in the thread. More than 1 audio track would not Nest. But as I said in my post, I found a workaround and it is fine for me this way.

Just ran into this problem, too. Evidently, the bug hasn't been ironed out.

Yep exactly the same problem (v13.1.2).  I have 2 video and 2 audio tracks on the timeline.  I can nest V1 and A1 but any other combination results in it only nesting the video tracks and rejecting all the audio (even A1).

Help!
