Tip of the Day - #176 of 319:

Edit part of a Sequence into another Sequence

Final Cut Pro

In and Out Markers in a Sequence will be honored when that Sequence is added, as a clip, to another Sequence, or copy and paste the selected clips from one Sequence to another.

To edit part of a Sequence as a nested clip into another Sequence:

  • Open the Sequence to be nested;
  • Set in and out points at the appropriate places;
  • Edit the Sequence into the parent by:
    • Dragging from the Bin or Browser; or
    • Opening the Sequence into the Viewer and Inserting or Overwriting from there.

Alternatively, or when you need to see the Clips from both Sequences while doing the edit:

  • Open the Source Sequence
  • Set in and out points at the appropriate places;
  • Set Autoselect to target the appropriate tracks
    • Using this technique selected tracks can be lifted without using all tracks from the source;
  • Press Options + A on the Keyboard to Select In to Out;
    • The selected clips will highlight.
  • Copy to the Clipboard as normal (Command + C on the keyboard)
  • Open the destination Sequence and Paste the clips.
