[Avid-L2] Re: Adding To A Second Sequence Without Leaving The Current One

Take you huge sequence mark a section that you want to remove for the other sequence alt drag from record monitor to a bin, this will save a subsequence of what you've marked. Extract that section out of the huge time line, continue this process marking and alt dragging then Extracting. Once done you can take all the sub sequences you draged into the bin and drag them directly to the timeline. Voila a second sequence of all you ripped out of the huge sequence. Of course copy your original sequence just to be safe. Just tried it and it works like a charm
