If the decomposed clip has more audio, video, or subtitle tracks as a result, then additional tracks will be added to the Timeline to make room. If this is a problem, you can rearrange the clips
Decomposing Nested Timelines While Editing
If you want to edit an entire timeline into another timeline solely as the source clips, you can turn on Edit > Decompose Compound Clips on Edit, and then edit that timeline into your program using whatever method you find convenient, as described previously in this chapter.
Compositing and Grading Nested Timelines
Similarly to compound clips, nested timelines act like a single clip in the Timeline; they appear as a single MediaIn node in the Fusion page for compositing, and you can grade them as a single clip in the Color page. However, if you want to individually add effects to or grade the original clips inside a nested timeline, you can either open that timeline from the Media Pool, or right-click that clip and choose Open in Timeline in order to access its constituent clips for compositing or grading.
Audio Buses in Nested Timelines
When you nest a timeline inside of another timeline that has buses set up for mixing in the Fairlight page, all Sub and Aux routings work as intended within the nested timeline, which exposes all channels of Main 1 in the enclosing timeline. In this sense, the audio of the nested timeline can be considered to be a submix that outputs its resulting audio to the audio track it’s edited onto. For more information about Buses and audio mixing in general, see Part 13, “Fairlight.”
Converting Compound Clips or Timelines to Multicam Clips
It’s possible to convert compound clips and timelines into multicam clips for easier editing using the Edit page’s Multicam Editing interface. This conversion is a one-way process. You cannot reconvert a multicam clip back to a timeline or compound clip. If you wish to preserve the original timeline or compound clip, make sure to duplicate it first, and then convert the copy. For more information,
see Chapter 41, “Multicam Editing.”
— Right-click on the clip or timeline in the Media Pool and choose “Convert Compound Clips (Timelines) to Multicam Clips” from the drop down menu.
