Thanks everyone. Do appreciate the expert help. And MattMatt - your suggestion of using After Effects is a great one. I have only one small problem in doing this. I don't use or have After Effects!
See ya'll.....Cheers,
Alan

Copy a Sequence to another Project ???
Collapse
X
-
I import the Project but making sure the Copy files box is not ticked
This brings the Bin contents and the sequences from the project being copied into the present one
I then delete the sequences and Bin contents I do not want and as no files were copied it has taken up no more disk space and the required sequence is now in the new project and can be manipulated and changed without changng the original
Regards Barry

Yeah thats right - Same in AE, you can't import compositions or sequences as such, only full projects. Edius's menu option "import sequence" is miss-leading...true.

I have the same question as AJL.
On my v4.54 I am unable to import a sequence from another project into the bin of an already open project. The import sequence window opened from the timeline in fact only permits the import of a project. It would be a useful feature for me just to be able to import a sequence, as I will have a need to do this. I have about six projects on the go, with from six to ten sequences in each project. Some of these sequences will end up as discrete DVDs. Others will be combined and I need some way to combine them. The six projects comprise about 350-400GB of DV clips, typically 60GB each with from 100 to 200 clips in each.
I had assumed the way to combine sequences would be to put markers on each sequence and output to file using PCE and then create a new project from this output combining the sequences as needed. It would be much quicker to be able to do this direct from another project via the import sequence dialogue. Is this likely to be feasible in the future or does the way the Edius software is written preclude this possibility?

Try as I might, and tutorials and manuals I have perused - and I don't find a solution. Any one of you who might have a work-around, I would greatly appreciate it. To rebuild the sequences would be nearly an impossible feat.
Many thanks....in advance...

I just poked around in Edius...I think to do it you go to File Import Sequence and actually import the Edius project file of your original project and it will bring in the whole project including your sequences. WHen you get the import option window up make sure to disable the copy clips setting or you will get all your clips copied to the new project as well. Just delete all the original stuff you don't need and you are good to go.
I just tried it out and it worked great.
Hope that helps. Wow...I helped 2 people in one night. I'm feelin' smart! :-)
