Editing nested video sequences

One or more computer-readable media having a plurality of executable instructions embodied thereon, which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method for video editing, the method comprising:

• receiving a selection, by a user in a graphical user interface (GUI), of a video clip corresponding to a nested video sequence of a parent video sequence;
• in response to the selection, rendering an image of the parent video sequence in the monitor view while rendering of each higher layer of the parent video sequence than a given layer that comprises the video clip is disabled in the monitor view by the selection;
• receiving, while the rendering of each higher layer of the parent video sequence is disabled in the monitor view by the selection, a manipulation by the user of a GUI element that corresponds to the nested video sequence;
• and
• in response to the manipulation, rendering an updated image of the parent video sequence in the monitor view that reflects an application of the manipulation to the nested video sequence while the rendering of each higher layer of the parent video sequence is disabled in the monitor view by the selection.

A computer-implemented system comprising:

• one or more processors and memory, coupled with the one or more processors, having executable instructions embodied thereon, which, when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations for video editing, the operations comprising:
• receiving a selection, by a user in a graphical user interface (GUI), of a video clip corresponding to a nested video sequence of a parent video sequence;
• in response to the selection, rendering an image of the parent video sequence in the monitor view while rendering of each higher layer of the parent video sequence than a given layer that comprises the video clip is disabled in the monitor view by the selection;
• receiving, while the rendering of each higher layer is disabled in the monitor view by the selection, a manipulation by the user of a GUI element that corresponds to the nested video sequence;
• and
• in response to the manipulation, rendering an updated image of the parent video sequence in the monitor view that reflects an application of the manipulation to the nested video sequence while the rendering of each higher layer of the parent video sequence is disabled in the monitor view by the selection.
