Grouping Clips (Video & Audio)
I want to permanently group a set of video and audio clips.
Example: I have several Video & Audio tracks. I want to highlight 10 video clips in multiple tracks and 15 audio clips in multiple tracks that are NOT “Linked” to the video clips. Then I want to Group these 25 items together so they will move together whenever I need to move them. Also if need be I expect to be able to UnGroup them.Any way of doing this?
Thanks.

audio, yes.
video, no.with audio, it’s called “Linking”
line up your clips in the timeline,
select them,
Apple L to Link them.you can Link multiple audio clips,
and you can link multiple audio clips and ONE Video clip.to group multiple video clips,
you could consider creating “Multiclips”,
they don’t appear as a stack of clips, but one “Multiclip”read up on those in the manual
cheers,

You could also “nest” the items. This creates a new sequence that contains just the clips you selected (audio & video). You can then drag that sequence and place into another timeline, like any other sequence. If, once on the timeline, you double click it, FCP will open the sequence so you can make adjustments. Remember though, if you change anything, it will affect any other instance where you use the clip/timeline. To add effects and such, highlight the nested sequence on your timeline, hit enter, and it will load into the viewer so you can adjust your effects.

once you have them linked how do you get them to the other sequence? I understand nesting but this is different, right?

generally you copy them into a new bin in the browser,
and they become your new editing master clips.cheers,
