Thanks for the quick responses so far. Keep them coming please.

I was under the impression that by bringing the sequences into the new project, it automatically breaks the link and makes them independent. Is this wrong? I have used the “make clips independent” before but I can’t recall if I ran into the same problem.

This workflow has worked for me about 85%-90% of the time. It has only been on a few projects that this has been an issue. I had chalked it up to Media Manager dropping the ball.

As for the long clips being a problem, the assistant editor logs each clip and places them into scene bins. Sometimes the longer clips can run 2, maybe 3 minutes.
Sometimes different parts of these same clips are used in the sequence. These are usually the culprits.

Does anyone know if there Is a way to bypass the “out point adjusted” dialog box and just have it keep these clips offline so they can be recaptured and not effect the EDL, so to speak?

For the record, the offending clips are not freeze frames or speed adjusted clips.
