Can anyone please let me know the differences/dis/advantages between a shot based workflow in level sequence vs using subsequence. I cant work it out. Thanks ---

The only difference between shots and subsequence is that if you have shots that are overlapping, only one of the shots will be evaluated. For subsequences, all will be evaluated. ---

You should check out this video talking about a general workflow using both SubSequences and Shots. [https://youtu.be/r9CtotVWbq4?si=-gZ5Z1nAnjt1T2NW&t=545](https://youtu.be/r9CtotVWbq4?si=-gZ5Z1nAnjt1T2NW&t=545) Shots are like the top layer of a sequence. While a SubSequence can be a whole bunch of shots inside, or just changes to the lighting or the level.
