Saving a sequence as a new independent project
So you’re working on a trying job for a difficult client. You’ve got 300 odd gigabytes of footage floating around in one giant, poorly organized project. Your client comes to you and says “I’d like to give x,y and z to someone else to edit, you’re too busy”. You say “sure thing”, then promptly realize you have no idea how to deliver.
Basically, I need to export all the information from a single sequence in my project – including the referenced files – as an entirely new project which I can fob off to the poor bastard who can edit it in the same way I have been but at a different computer.
How do I deliver?

Media Manager.

I would create an AAF of the sequence chosing to copy all media and embed it in the AAF. If you have additional or alternative shots that the new guy may want put all of them on another sequence and export another AAF.

Use the Media Manager copy function. It’s made precisely for moving projects to other drives or other facilities.
Just select the sequences and bins you want to send, and MM will copy all media used in those to a single folder on the new hard drive, along with a new FCP project file named to your specs.
