Nested Projects - WOW!!

Had a short 15 minute video consisting of motion video, stills, generated media and instrumental tracks. Color correction on individual clips, multiple takes on sound. Scrolling titles.

Broke it into 6 projects and tried the nested projects feature for the first time.

I'm amazed. Was able to replace music, shift music in time to span more than one of the projects, then use Wave Hammer as a track effect to even out some volume variations.

At every step, I thought, this is going to crash, but it rendered out perfectly. I'm probably the last one on this forum to be amazed by this feature, but WOW!!!.

It's really useful indeed, I also remember a lot of people being skeptical about it before V6 was out :)

If you do any 3D compositing - save that into a nested .veg and it drop it into your project (assuming that you project is longer than the 3D composite section) and you will reduce your render times DRAMATICALLY. When the 3D composite is done - it has to be done for the entire length of the project for each track that is using it. When you drop in a .veg it only sees those "tracks" for the length of the project and doesn't have to take that into account every frame of the entire track.

If you use this feature with any timeline markers, the length of the nested veg's is wrong.

This should be fixed in 6.0d.
