Help: Copy files from timeline into another project?
I’m working on a multi-part documentary and I’ve created separate project files/folders for each part. The thing is, now I’m wanting to combine some of these parts together, and I’m wanting to copy the edited clips from one timeline in project A to another timeline in project B. I tried just highlighting the clips in the timeline, Edit->Copy, opening the other project, Edit->Paste, but when I do that the audio is distorted. Am I doing something wrong, or is there a reason why this is happening? I’m really hoping I won’t have to import the original files into the project and edit them all over again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Open the project that you want to append and then choose File>Import and navigate to the project file containing the sequence you want and choose it. This will add the entire contents of that project to your open project in it’s own folder. If you don’t want all of that projects clips/sequences, make a duplicate of it, make changes, trim it, etc., resave and import that project instead. It might be a good idea to back-up your main project too before embarking but this process has worked well for me in the past. Good luck.

Thanks Troy! That basically did it. I knew there had to be a way to get both sequences up so I could interchange the clips with free will…and of course it couldn’t have been worded as simply as File>Open Sequence. Anyway, thanks a million! You just saved me a bunch of work!
