I’ve refined this to a full steps process, including reordering the markers and regions at the end, if you want. I originally wrote this for Video Stack Exchange.
Here are the following steps to merge project A with project B into a new project C, copying all clips, markers, and regions:
- Copy all the clips from project A timeline.
- Turn on auto ripple on project B. Make sure to select “All Tracks, Markers, and Regions” in the drop down.
- Paste the clips from project A (copied in step 1) at the beginning of project B. All project B clips, markers, and regions should have been shifted to the right. All project A clips are at the beginning of the timeline on project B, but the markers and regions have not been copied.
- Save project B as a new file, project C.
- In project A go to View > Window > Edit Details or type ALT+6.
- In the Edit Details, select Markers or Regions, whichever you want to copy, in the “Show” drop down.
- Select all the items by clicking the empty space on the header row in the first column.
- Type CTRL+C to copy the items.
- In project C go to View > Window > Edit Details or type ALT+6.
- Select Markers or Regions, whichever you copied from project A in steps 6-8.
- Select the first empty row, then type CTRL+V.
- Repeat steps 6-11 as needed, to copy all markers and regions, whichever you haven’t done yet.
- project C now contains all clips, markers, and regions from project A and project B. Don’t forget to save your work.
- Optionally, you can re-order all the markers and regions in project C. Simply select all the rows by clicking the empty space on the header row in the first column, then type CTRL+X then CTRL+V.
