Example: Duplicating a Sequence and Its Corresponding
Media Files

In this example, a sequence is copied to a new project, along with its corresponding
media files. The new sequence clips refer to the new media files, while the original
sequence still refers to the original media files.

For example, you may have captured an hour’s worth of media from tape, but used
only 45 minutes of it in the sequence. You can duplicate the sequence and create
copies of the media files referenced by the sequence, but without the unused
15 minutes of footage.

this pop-up menu.

in the sequence.
