Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 792)

Opening More Than One Sequence at a Time
To copy, edit, or nest a sequence into another sequence, the destination sequence must
be open in the Timeline or Canvas. When you open a sequence, the Timeline and the
Canvas open together, if they’re not open already. If the Timeline and Canvas are already
open, a newly opened sequence appears in its own tab on top of any other sequence
tabs.
If you want to view your sequences separately, you can move each into its own window.
This eliminates the constant need to click back and forth between sequence tabs in the
Timeline. For more information, see
“Overview of the Final Cut Pro Interface.”
Copying Clips from One Sequence to Another
You can quickly copy clips between sequences if you want to use the same portion of
the clip in both sequences. You can copy clips between sequences by dragging or by
using the Copy and Paste commands.
To copy clips from one sequence to another by dragging
1 Open both sequences in the Timeline.
2 Drag one sequence by its tab out of the Timeline to create a new window.
Make sure the two Timeline windows are viewable on screen and not overlapping other
windows.
3 Select one or more clips that you want to copy.
