Changing the Order of Nested Effects
When you use advanced keyframes with nested effects, you can change the order of nested effects by manipulating the Nesting Priority icons that appear in the Effect Editor.
If the effect you are editing has nested tracks, the effect icon and name of each nested effect appears in the Effect Editor. A Nesting Priority icon appears in line with each effect name. Click this icon, and drag it to a new position to reorder the effects.
To change the order of nested effects:
1. | |
Click the Nesting Priority icon of the effect you want to move.
|
The pointer changes to a hand, and a white outline appears around the
selected effect.
2. | |
Drag the outline above the effect you want to have nested inside the
selected effect, or below the effect inside which you want the selected
effect to nest.
|
3. | |
Release the mouse button.
|
The effects move to their new locations, and the Effect Editor display
changes to reflect the new nesting.
Note the following considerations about the display and manipulation of nested effects:

You can change the nesting order only when the nested effects have the
same number of internal tracks.

The Effect Editor does not display layered components of a nested
effect.

If there is no effect on the foreground track (V1.2, for example), then
the Effect Editor looks for a nested effect on the next track stepping in
(V1.3, V1.4, and so forth). The Effect Editor identifies the first track
with an effect as the foreground track. Effects on subsequent tracks are
identified as part of the nested effect.

The Effect Editor does not display nested effects when the foreground
track has an add edit.
