What is Auto-nesting?

What is Auto-nesting?

• A. A procedure that lets you add an effect on top of an existing effect.
• B. A feature that duplicates clips
• C. A method to render previews
• D. A tool to group multiple effects into a single effect

Answer: (A)

Auto-nesting automates the process of stacking effects by wrapping the current clip and its existing effect chain into a nested sequence as soon as you add a new effect. This lets you apply an additional effect on top of what’s already been applied, without manually creating a nest yourself. The result is a clean, nondestructive workflow: the original effects stay inside the nested sequence, and the new effect sits above them, operating on their combined output. This isn’t about duplicating clips, rendering previews, or grouping multiple effects into one; those tasks serve different purposes. Auto-nesting specifically enables seamless layering of effects on top of an existing chain by automatic nesting.
