Can you combine sequences from two FCP projects?
by David McGiffert on Jan 15, 2008 at 5:23:44 am

I know this is a totally rookie question,
but I have a huge project I am working on.
(28 hours of video and growing).
I am bogging down my ancient G5 single processor with
lots of bins and quite a few sequences.
If I open a new project with the same settings,
and then open my working project at the same time,
can I;

import from one project to the other?

cut and paste from one project to the other?

drag a timeline from one project to the other?
(ducking from oncoming flames)

Thank you,

David

open both projects

create a new project

tear away the browser windows from the two existing projects.

Drag whatever you want to the new projects.

Close the original two projects.

Edit away.

Final Cut Sequences
by Peter von Puttkamer on Jan 17, 2008 at 5:36:18 am

Hi. I have a question I'm hoping you could answer- editing an HD timeline- either
108030p or 108060i; I'm looking at two sequence settings:

1. Frame size 1280x1080, Aspect Ratio 1280x1080 (16x9)
Pixel aspect ratio 1280x 1080
editing time base 29.97

OR

2. Frame size 1980x1080, Aspect Ratio HDTV 1080i (16:9)
Pixel aspect ratio Square
editing time base 29.97

Which one should I go with. thanks. p.
