Open Nested Sequences Inline in Timeline (Like Avid Media Composer)

Product: Adobe Premiere Pro
Category: Timeline / Editing Workflow

Description:

In Avid Media Composer, when working with a collapsed group of video tracks (a nested sequence), it's possible to double-click and open it inline within the same timeline, make edits, and then collapse it again — all without switching to a separate sequence tab.

In Premiere Pro, double-clicking a nested sequence opens it in a new timeline tab, which breaks the editing flow and makes quick adjustments more cumbersome.

How this would help my workflow:

As a video technician working in fast-paced environments, I often nest multiple layers for organization or effects. Being able to open and edit these nests directly in the main timeline would save time, reduce context switching, and make the editing experience more fluid — especially when working on complex sequences with multiple layers.

Additionally, staying in the main timeline allows me to hear the full audio context of the edit, not just the audio contained within the nested sequence. This is crucial when syncing, mixing, or adjusting visuals to match audio cues that exist outside the nest.

Request:

Please consider adding the ability to expand and edit nested sequences inline in the main timeline, without opening a separate tab. This would be a major improvement for editors coming from Avid and for anyone working with layered compositions.
