36 not 7 overlay tracks?

[Mark Spencer]

In a search for an answer to an unrelated problem, I came across the suggestion of inserting saved projects into the timeline.

I got an idea...maybe not a new one.

Could I build a project of multiple overlay tracks and insert it onto the overlay track of a new project. The answer was yes. So, I think I have effectively increased the number of possible overlay tracks to 36. I could even save the project of projects, however I could not insert a project of projects into the time-line (going for more overlays) Darn. This may have it's limitations, I don't know if video quality is effected, or how it affects masking and such. I just made a quick 4x4(16) grid which filled the screen with nothing on the video track

Hope someone finds this of interest, I did.

Using VSP Project files in overlay tracks is a very powerful and often overlooked procedure.

Here is another use Transitions in overlay tracks

The aim of video editing is to render once to maintain the highest possible quality. Using both of the above suggestions will achieve this goal.
