Re: Working with material on existing projects

Working in the EB is great until you start having to break apart your clips within your projects, just to keep the project files from being so bloated that they don't bog down your system. And once you break apart your clips, you loose references to intermediate compound clips in your EB (like those you may have used to sync external audio), as well as your painstakingly created keywords.

When my project files get over about 100 MB, everything gets very sluggish so I always keep an eye on that file size, reducing my use of compound clips as much as possible. Until they allow compound clips to be used as they were envisioned, nothing is VERY easy or intuitive in my opinion.
