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

If you're going from one sequence to another, why alt-copy and paste
at all?

Just load your "source sequence" into the Source monitor and your
"destination sequence" into the Sequence monitor. Then mark your ins
and outs in the source and paste into the destination. There's no need
to "alt-clipboard" the selection.

From what I remember of your original post, though, you wanted to
have TWO destination sequences available. The only way I see that
happening is if you just keep the two destination sequences handy in a
bin and simply double click the one you want to past into. That means
loading it into the Sequence window again and again, but this isn't
that much different from the FCP functionality. You may complain that
it takes too long to load the sequence each time. I would suggest that
you simplify your timeline settings (go to the timeline fast menu) for
your two destination sequences as much as possible. Don't have any
text, obviously no audio waveforms or frameviews. Turn off Wrap
Around, Color Correction, Dissolve Icons, Effect Icons, Track Panel,
Switch Clip Text to None. Simplify it as much as possible and it will
load very quickly. I realize you're dealing with VERY LARGE sequences,
though. But your largest sequence will just stay in the Source window
without moving, so that will help.

If you want an Avid class that has just as many great tips as Larry
Jordan's Lynda class, check out my Class on Demand DVD "Complete
Training for Avid Media Composer." The tutorials are absolutely real
world: based on an episode of CBS' excellent primetime doc series "48
Hours."
