David,

I understand the explanation in your up until the final part. Im working with HD footage, i’m looking for away to use very small (quickly compressed files) to do all my edits in FCP then before exporting, replace these files with the full Res versions. Mostly to avoid render times etc.

So, i build my timeline with the smaller files. Then i duplicate the sequence, correct? Then what? Im getting confused when it comes to replacing the files on the timeline with the full res ones. Can this be done automatically? Or must i learn the In/Out points of each clip and replace them manually.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Chris
