Joining two sequences

[Braunschweig]

I can add two avi files together to form a single sequence.

 

How can I add two sequences together to form a single film?

You just need to drag a sequence to another sequence from the Sequence tab of the media window:

Hi

 

Note that "sequence" can be interpreted in different ways. ...a sequence of separate clips placed one after another or a single unit made from those clips. VP uses the latter concept.

 

Once you have joined clips together to form a "sequence" (of clips) , you can click the tab marked "Sequence" on the toolbar right at the top of the screen and then select "New sequence" This will join your clips together and place them in the Sequence bin of the media list which will now show Sequences(2) as there is always a blank one present. The timeline will now clear. You will have created a Sequence.

 

(Note you can can achieve the same thing if you click the Sequence tab shown under the top toolbar.)

 

If you then add further clips to the empty timeline you can create another sequence using the same steps. (or by clicking the + after the words Sequence 1 x Sequence 2 x at the left end of the track)

On the media list Sequence bin. the tab will always show how many sequences are present (+1 blank)

Each time a sequence is created, the Video track 1 will clear.

 

The answer to your question then is that you can now open the Sequence bin and add your sequences to the timeline in exactly the same way as clips. Each sequence will behave like a single clip. You can place them in any order on the timeline or as an overlay. You can split them and add effects etc. The original clips from which the sequences were created remain in the clip bin for use again if required.

 

Sam's post shows Sequence 1(Brown) on the timeline with Sequence 2 (yellow) following it. Note there are 3 sequences in the bin and the bin Tab says Sequences(3) Sequence 3 is usually a dummy sequence and in VP 4.48 is normally shown as a Clapperboard icon.
