copy master clip warning
Hello,
I’ve recently tried copying a clip from one sequence to another, and a window opened up saying the following: “a master clip already exists for a clip you are adding to this project, but some of its properties do not match those of the clip you are adding”. It then prompts me to choose between the master clip or the clip I’ve copied and am trying to paste. In all cases, though, I have not made any changes to the clip I’m trying to copy into the other sequence, and I’m wondering why fcp is behaving as if I had.
Thank you in advance for any information that can be offered.
Matt

Hi Matt, Did you find a solution for this issue? I’ve stumbled upon this problem recently as well. Thanks! – Erin

I am having this same issue!
I “fixed it” by manually replacing the clips on the timeline that were causing the problems. I actually used the timecode of the clip on the timeline, to manually re-create the clips from their source material, and then overwrite the clips on the timeline. In theory they were identical, but in practice, something was wrong before I did this.
One of them timeline clips was time-remapped. Not sure if that’s related to the issue. ONE TRACK of the associated audio clip was also displaying the name of a DIFFERENT file, but continued to play the correct audio when played back.
These are scary errors. But all seems fine for now.
If I run into this again, I will be making a service call.

Hi Erin,
Sorry I haven’t responded. I’ve been away for the past month. I never did find a solution, but somebody else did respond to the thread with some more information. I don’t know if you saw the post or not…Let me know if you’ve come across anything helpful!
Regards,
Matt
