CookVideoTrack
Build a sequence once and use it anywhere. Drop one video into another and it plays as a layer, with its own scripts, timing and speed.
A CookVideoTrack is a clip that plays its Source, a CookVideo kept anywhere. While the playhead is inside the clip, the source runs with its own scripts and layers at Offset + (time - InPoint) × Speed, and its picture becomes this layer. Several clips may play one video; a video can't play itself or a video that plays it. Drag a CookVideo from the Explorer onto the Cook window to make one; double-click the bar to open it.
