Special Functions
Nesting Sequences (Building a Container)
If you want to include Sequences as objects on the Timeline, drag them from the Project window to the
Timeline or the Source Viewer (or use Send To command from the shortcut menu). You can now edit the
Sequence just like a clip, e.g. include it in another Sequence (building Containers), apply effects or trim it.
When inserting Sequences, pay attention to possibly set mark-ins and mark-outs since this defines the
length of the resulting Container clip.

What Are Containers?
In Avid Liquid, Containers are Sequences that were integrated in another Sequence. Complete Sequences
containing an unlimited number of clips and edits can be embedded like objects (i.e. clips) in another
Sequence. Avid Liquid allows you to edit these Sequences on the Timeline within the main Sequences and
to move back and forth from the container(s) to the main Sequence with just one mouse-click. This main
Sequences are the main level; up to ten levels (layers) can be created with this Container method.
