matchback
It has been suggested to me that when working on a large project, I spilt the project up into lots of little projects, to prevent crashing.
My sequences are now in a separate project, so I can’t match back to the source files in other projects. Is there a way of doing this?

You should be bringing the raw material you need for each segment into each of your projects. I’m working on a documentary right now with over 75 hours of material and it’s all broken up into 14 projects.
Pick up Shane Ross’ Getting Organized with Final Cut Pro DVD here on the Cow and you’ll learn all sorts of ways to manage projects large and small. I re-watched it right before starting this documentary as we’re doing three documentaries over the next 10 months with over 200 hours of material.

I mention breaking up the projects in that DVD yes. But the danger, as youd iscovered, is that once you cut footage from one project into a sequence in another it cannot match back to the original footage. Match frame only worked if ghe footage is in the same project as the sequence.
