There could be multiple solutions to this. I want the right side to be but the way the left side is:
The reason for doing this? When rendering for some reason leaving all the clips overlapping slows the render to 1/3 of where it should be. It also caused huge instability when rendering large 2 hour projects. It's not a VP22 thing, it was happening in VP21. So #1, is there a reason the render is slowing down? (remember it doesn't slow down if there's no clips underneath each other) Because I'd prefer that solution. OR #2 is there a way to flatten/merge or even automatically cut them? I've been slicing manually for the past year but I'm wondering if there's a better way.
