1. Re: Workflow on long project - is it possible to link sequences across project files?
Colin Brougham Jul 1, 2011 10:28 AM (in response to Stevedocmaker)But, is it possible to create a multi-cam sequence in one project, and then import that sequence into another project, and retain the ability to go back to the multi-cam project and make changes to the edit, and those changes will be automatically updated in the second project?
No, each project is an island. What I mean is that once you import one project into another one, it merges into the "host" project and becomes part of it; all connection to the original project is broken. Sounds like you might be familiar with how Avid works (or used to, maybe? Been awhile.) where a project bin was a standalone file, and if you opened it in another project and made changes, those changes would be made in all projects using the bin/sequence. So, I'm afraid that your proposed workflow won't, well, work.
That said, there's nothing wrong with working on a bunch of individual projects (might be smart, actually), and then merging those in a final assembly project. The same rule applies, though: any changes you make to the original projects won't be made in the host project, so you'll want to save that until finishing.

JSS1138 Jul 1, 2011 1:55 PM (in response to Stevedocmaker)You can always have a top level bin for each part, with all media, graphics, sequences, etc. for that section in that bin. Open that bin, and you see only the other bins that relate to that section.
