Scene Strip

Scene strips are a way to insert the render output of a scene into your sequence. Instead of rendering out a video, then inserting the video file, you can insert the scene directly.

The strip length will be determined based on the animation settings in that scene.

Options

Use Sequence

Expand the scenes sequence strips, allowing one scene to reuse another scene’s edit (instead of taking the render output from the scene).

This is similar to how Meta Strips work, with the added advantage of supporting multiple instances of the same data.

Camera Override

This can be used to override the scene’s camera with any other object.

It is useful to support switching views within a single scene.

Show Grease Pencil

Shows Grease Pencil in OpenGL preview.

Audio Volume

Volume of the audio taken from the chosen scene.

Alpha Mode

Sky

Fills in a solid background.

Transparent

Creates a transparent background. This is useful for doing overlays like rendering out Grease Pencil films via the Sequencer.

Hint

It’s best not add a scene strip for the scene you are currently editing. While this is supported, it can be confusing when changing the start and end frame.
