 Create Offline: This option is very different from the others because no media files are
created or processed, and your selection is always copied to a new project. This
option is used to make a copy of a sequence with different settings, not to copy
actual media. The main reason for this option is to copy a sequence with low-
resolution settings to a sequence with full-resolution settings which you can then use
to recapture full-resolution media. This prepares you for an online editing session.
Note: If the duplicated sequence has a different frame size than the original, the
sequence clips’ motion attributes are adjusted proportionally so they match the new
frame size.
You can choose the new settings for the copied sequence in the “Set sequences to”
pop-up menu, which lists all sequence presets in Final Cut Pro, as well as an option
to use “Current Sequence Settings.” You can also choose Custom to specify your own
settings in the Sequence Preset Editor window that appears. These settings cannot
be saved as a sequence preset; they are used only for the immediate operation.
Note: This pop-up menu appears only when the “Create offline” option is chosen. It
replaces the “Recompress media using” pop-up menu.
Include Render Files Checkbox
Select this checkbox to include render files when using the Copy or Move operation.
This option is not available with the Recompress, “Use existing”, or “Create offline”
operations.
 Available with: Copy or Move
 Always enabled with: “Use existing”
 Always disabled with: Recompress or “Create offline”
Include Master Clips Outside Selection Checkbox
When you choose the “Duplicate selected items and place into a new project” option, a
bin of master clips is created for all of the clips used in the new project. This means the
new project has master-affiliate relationships, not just independent clips.
The “Include master clips outside selection” option determines how much media is
retained in the master clips of the new project.
 When this option is selected, the master clips in the new project are based on the
master clips in your current project. This means that the following media is retained
when new master clips and media files are created:
 The media defined by the items you selected before opening the Media Manager
window
 The media defined by the In and Out points of your original master clips
 When this option is deselected, the master clips in the new project are based only on
the media used by the items you selected before opening the Media Manager
window.
