What is the outcome of nesting clips in a timeline or bins?

When clips are nested in a timeline or bins, the primary outcome is that individual clips are combined into one cohesive unit known as a nest. This nesting process allows for the grouped clips to be treated as a single entity while maintaining the ability to manipulate them. For instance, you can apply effects, transitions, or adjustments to the nested clip as a whole rather than having to handle each clip separately. This is particularly useful in complex projects where managing numerous clips can become cumbersome, allowing for better organization and easier editing.

Nesting does not prevent you from applying effects, nor does it create a freeze frame or keep individual clips separate, which are characteristics associated with different editing techniques or objectives. Instead, it streamlines the editing process by encapsulating multiple clips into one manageable layer, thus enhancing workflow efficiency.
