Describe the two methods that export a sequence.

Media Composer has two options for exporting your sequence out as a digital file. The Send To option uses templates (customized to workflow) to send selected clips or sequences to other applications. Alternatively, the Export option offers more flexibility at the expense of a more complicated interface.

What does "nesting" refer to?

You might need to change a single element in a vertical effect sequence. For example, you might want to apply a color effect within an existing Picture-in-Picture effect. To do this, you can nest an effect inside another effect. Instead of one video layer being physically above another video layer, a nested effect is contained within another effect on the same video layer.
