another sequence. This section explains the various ways you can nest a sequence into
another sequence.

 Hold down the Option key, then double-click a sequence in the Browser (this opens
it in its own Viewer window).
 Control-click the sequence, then choose Open in Viewer from the shortcut menu.
2 In the Viewer, set In and Out points for the source sequence.
This lets you nest all or just a part of the sequence.
