Sequence nesting is a powerful but simple compositing technique. In a nutshell, you put one sequence inside another – but there is so much more to it than that, as you'll see in this lesson.

Premiere Pro CS5.5 improves the speed with which you can render nested sequences. You can literally nest sequences into sequences and you’ll get the benefits of the Mercury Playback Engine using both the CPU and the GPU or Graphics Processing Unit on an Nvidia card with CUDA. Throw the HP Z800 workstation into the mix and you see rendering speeds like you have never seen before.

Learn about new productivity enhancements in Premiere Pro CS4. Karl Soule takes a look at blending modes, improved timecode, and new ways to use nested sequences in this Premiere Pro tutorial.
