Nevermind! I figured it out.
I selected right-clicked the sequence and selected MAKE CLIPS INDEPENDENT. Then with the sequence still selected went to media manager and selected COPY from the menu and all is well.

Hey Jerry,
After a long night and a bunch of trial and error I think I found the solution.
I reset the TIMECODE for the MASTER TRACK to start at 01:00:00:00.
When the timecode started at 00:00:00:00 Final Cut was having problems with clips that started before the MASTER TRACK and would then subtract from 00:00:00:00 resulting in a clip AUX timcode that starts at, say, 23:59:58:22.

Also I found that syncing just the CLIPS without the track is more reliable. I just set my MASTER TRACK on A1+2 in my sequence, then cut the multiclip over it.

Isn’t there a way to edit the source clips from a sequence as a series of edits reflecting the source sequence to the Timeline instead of inserting a nested section? I’ve been trying to figure this out as well….
Example: In AVID when you have a sequence in the source window set an in and out over a span of edits it will lay down the original edited clips to whatever video layer you have selected.
Now in Final Cut, if you put a Sequence with multiple layers in the source monitor the tracks are reflected in Video layer write button, but when you hit overwrite or insert you get a nested sequence….
Anyone have any idea what I’m try to say?

I think this is what Danny is trying to get at….

Terry’s method is spot on.
Just used it in a video I’m cutting.
Thanks for the advice.
