Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 802)

If you hold down the Command key while dragging Sequence A into the Canvas, you’ll
edit the clips contained within Sequence A into Sequence B. So each clip in Sequence A
is still an individual clip in Sequence B. This allows for more flexibility should you want
to make changes to any clips that are in Sequence A. However, future changes in Sequence
A have no effect on Sequence B; Sequence B does not automatically update to reflect
the changes.
Using the Command key
causes individual clips to
be copied into the
destination sequence.
