@borateThank you very much for your video link. This shows the behaviour I would expect. Not a complicated thing. I know you will not believe me but I did exactly the test you did in your video: Create a completly new project, add two videos, add both videos to Sequence 1, create new Sequence 2. But then, when I drop the Sequence 1 thumbnail to the timeline view of the Sequence 2 tab (like you did at 0:05 in your video) this results in the message "You cannot add a sequence to itself. Make sure the sequence does not appeare as a track clip in another sequence where you want to add it". In your case it works as expected. @Nationalsolo Believe me or not, I did the thing borate showed in the first 5 seconds in his demonstration video. Forgive me but in my case also the menu option is grayed out. I will send a bug report to NCH and post the result here. Nevertheless, thank you for your help!

Thanks for help. @borateYes, it should be that easy. But if I use the right-click menu the entry "Place on Sequence" ("Clip in Sequenz platzieren") is visible but greyed out and I cannot click on it. @Nationalsolo I think I understand your explanation. I followed exactly your steps. But when I try to execute step 8 and drop Sequence 1 to the timeline of Sequence 2 I get the message "You cannot add a sequence to itself." If I drop it to Sequence 2 I get the longer meassage as reported above: "You cannot add a sequence to itself. Make sure the sequence does not appeare as a track clip in another sequence where you want to add it". Maybe nesting is disabled in the "home" license edition of VideoPad Professional version v 5.06? This would be a little bit disappointing because the license (https://secure.nch.com.au/cgi-bin/register.exe?software=videopad) tells that all internal functions should be available. The only limitation should be two audio tracks. I have bought the license two days ago. At the moment I have no other explanation. On the other hand the error message "You cannot add a sequence to itself. Make sure the sequence does not appeare as a track clip in another sequence where you want to add it" then would be missleading. I'm afraid that I have to proceed with my huge single sequence and several additional video tracks as I have to finish my movie within the next few days.

Thank you for your fast response and explanations! Unfortunately it did not work for me. I followed your steps i.e. to test it I created a completely new project, added some photos to Sequence 1, added a new Sequence 2 and dragged an dropped the Sequence 1 thumbnail to the new timeline of Sequence 2. But there is was again the error message "You cannot add a sequence to itself. Make sure the sequence does not appeare as a track clip in another sequence where you want to add it". I am using version VideoPad Professional v 5.06. Are there any further suggestions?

Hi, I cannot add a sequences as a clip to another sequence. The help documetation tells me that this should be possible. When I drag Sequence 1 from the sequence tab and drop it to a video track of an empty Sequence 2, I get an error message, something like this (German VideoPad Video Editor Home Edition): "You cannot add a sequence to itself. Make sure the sequence does not appeare as a track clip in another sequence where you want to add it". What goes wrong? I would like to have one main sequence and several scenes as sub sequences of this main sequence.
