Scene added to sequencer doesn't show it's sequencer output
Closed, ArchivedPublic

Description

Creating a scene "source" with sequencer output and adding this scene to the sequencer of a new scene "edit" results in the sequencer output not shown in scene "edit".

This is a new behavior in Blender 2.65. Checked this on official Build r52859 and own build r52982.

Some investigation led me to Fix #33253, where Sergey stated: "Also removed Use Sequencer from scene's strip settings, it's not supported."

Not really shure if this is a bug at all, or if I'm missing some new workflows? I really loved the ability to use these nested scenes, you can see it's use in attached .blend.

Opening this .blend in Blender 2.64 will work as expected. (At least expected by me ;) )

Let me know if I can help in any way.

Best,
Ken

Sequencer is not recursive, it can not compute sequences from scene's strip because of design limitation. It only worked in some cases and was never working reliable confusing users. Now sequencer's recursion is disabled explicitly.

New depsgraph and updated animation system would likely make it possible to re-enable recursive sequencers, but at this moment it can not be done in predictable way.

Okay thank you. So for now I will have to stick with pre 2.65 versions, as this function worked very well for my purposes.

Regarding the latest build:

The closest to what I try to produce would be to set up a "source" scene with compositor output, and then adding this scene to the "edit" sequencer, as compositing output will be displayed. This leaves me without source audio, and high latency on scrubbing, but then thats what the proxy system is made for right ;)

Thanks for your hard work and your answer :)
