Copy and Past Nested Sequence loses link to Master

Has anyone else noticed this problem? I've got a nested sequence that I'm cutting and editing around and most of the time everything is fine. If I doubleclick the nested sequence in my main sequence, it opens the nested one and if I then double click the nested sequence in my Browser, it goes to that same sequence. Changed in one will show up in the other.
BUT, if I copy and paste the nested sequence in my main sequence, the new pasted version will open a NEW sequence that isnt linked to the Master in my Browser. So now, changes in the new nested sequence or the Master dont show up in the other one.
Is this just me thats having this problem?

I can see where you are coming from, and where the engineers at Apple were coming from, but I strongly disagree with this behavior. In my opinion, if you want to have a separate copy of a sequence, you should make a copy in your bin and bring that in. That way your new sequence HAS a master sequence and you can CHANGE the name, both of which help to avoid confusion.
So, maybe you're right and most people prefer it the way that it is, but let me explain the workflow I'm using and you'll see why this is so absolutely frustrating to me.
I'm editing a documentary in Chinese and as I dont speak Chinese, I've had it all translated, and added subtitles to the interview footage so I can edit it. And to make absolutely sure that the subtitles and footage stay in sync (since I wouldnt know it if they werent) I've put all the footage into separate sequences and I'm editing those sequences as if they are raw footage.
And due to this, I'm throwing sequences around every which way while I try to create my story. And sometimes that means copying a series of edits into a new timeline to work on separately from the larger project. And as I see it, there is NO WAY to do that currently and keep the sequences linked to the masters, other than pulling up each master sequence into the Viewer, changing the in and out points to match the clip I want and Inserting it into a new timeline. And when you want to copy over a segment that has perhaps 20 edited bits, thats WAY too much trouble.
So I'll admit that I'm editing in a somewhat abnormal way due to my subtitles, but as there is no way to copy and paste sequences and keep the link to the Master, I think the behavior is broken.
Oh, and the "Tools->Create Master Clips" command, which is supposed to relink clips to their masters if there are any in the Browser, doesnt work for Nested Sequences.

  • Copy and paste action sequence?

    i have an action sequence set to play on application start, but i also want to set it up to play whenever a user navigates to that specific page

    Hello.
    You can't copy-and-paste action sequences yet.
    But you can if you were to open it in Flash Builder, but this would require a lot of 'fiddling about' with.

  • The edit button disappears when I have the link window open, so how do I copy and paste address for email link?

    When I want to create a link to a web page in an email, I click the "link" icon and a window appears asking for the address. But simultaneously, the "edit" function and all other functions disappear from the Firefox toolbar. With no edit, how can I copy and paste the address? I have tried highlighting the address and dragging it into the window, but it won't drop into the window.
    I have resorted to copying the address to a document and then pasting it into the link window, but there must be a less cumbersome way.

  • Copy and pasting between Sequences

    I edited a 3-camera HDV mulitcam project. It was perfect. No problems.
    I created a second sequence in the same project. I copied and pasted part of the Sequence One Timeline into the Sequence Two Timeline.
    The video in Sequence Two does not look as good. Why?
    It's the same video. Why the difference? Will the quality also be diminished after exporting to DVD and/or YouTube?

    Please give the exact item properties of the clips you're editing and the exact item properties of the sequence in which you're editing. Select a clip in the Browser and press Cmd-9 or Edit>Item Properties>Format. Select a sequence in the Browser and repeat.   

  • Does update links automatically work when we copy and paste?

    Hi all!! :) I've got a question after i've tried DW CS3 for
    few days: I notice that when i cut and paste a web page from a
    folder to another folder within a local site, the links
    automatically update (after clicking to choose update when a prompt
    box appears) but there is nothing happens when i try to copy and
    paste. Does update links automatically mode works only when we cut
    and paste or did i do something wrong? If its the second case, can
    anyone tell me how to fix it? Thanx 4 reading my post ^_^!!

    My suggestion is that it works that way because when you copy
    and paste the original document still remains in the folder and
    therefore Dreamweaver doesn't see it as a moved file.

  • On the Firefox drop down menu for Firefox 4, the tab for cut, copy and paste is not highlighted. Is there another way for me to include this on the Firefox start page?

    I have Firefox 4. In the Firefox drop down menu, there is an option to cut, copy and paste but it is not highlighted. Please tell me how to highlight this link. Or is there a way to have a cut copy and paste tab?

    Those links in the Edit menu are only highlighted if there is something to do:<br />
    Paste should be enabled if the clipboard has data placed on it by a previous Copy or Cut and you have set focus on a text area or field that allows to paste that data.
    Copy works if some text is selected.

  • I am having problems copying and pasting clips from one project timeline to another. When I do this they often alter in length. Sometimes by two frames. Other times they lose a chunk off the end of the last clip in the sequence. Has anyone else found

    You need to give a lot more information about the media specifications and the project properties you're using in the different projects.

  • Copy and paste from gmail to Pages loses all links--why?

    I get emails with embedded links that I need to work on, so I select the entire gmail message body, then copy/paste into Pages '08. What I get is a plain text document with all the links gone. The text is still there, but no hyperlink indicated nor http addresses carried over. What's wrong? How can I change that?

    OK, so more details:
    Let's say I get a long email in gmail that has links already in it, as in they are embedded--they are already clickable. For example, there will be a word that says "Washington Post" and it will be an underlined hyperlink, NOT "www.washingtonpost.com" or whatever.
    So I open Pages and select "New" and get a blank document. Then I open Inspector and Enable hyperlinks just like you suggested. Then I copy and paste the email text that has the embedded hyperlinks. And NONE of them maintain their link data. All of them become plain text.
    So what am I doing wrong that is making all the links die?
    Thanks for trying to help, everyone!

    == i want to copy and past 58 links from my IE favorites into the bookmarks toolbar...not one at a time. where's the folder i can copy these too?

    Firefox doesn't store the bookmarks as separate files in a folder, but uses a sqlite database file with the name places.sqlite.
    You will have to export those favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in Firefox.

  • HOW CAN I COPY AND PAST A LINK INTO/ONTO A FORM???

    I use acrobat X and have created froms to fill out and email to clients so they can review differnt real estate properties and i want to past a link at the bottom of the form. When i receive an email alert about a new property there is a hyperlink in the emailand this is the one i would like to copy and past onto tthe PDF form described above. i do not want to nake a permanent link on the form as the info will change with every email i receive. if i copy the hyperlink into a text boc it only comes up as text. i can't believe it is so hard to do this. If i copy the link into word or excel and then save the file as a pdf the link will work but then i can't use the form. OMG please help!!

    Acrobat is not an authoring program like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. So extensive editing is not possible.
    How do you want the link to look?
    There is a link tool that can insert a link around a location.
    You can create a button form field and customize the displayed text and create an an action to execute a link.
    You can create a text field and enter text into the field and create a mouse up action to execute a link actions.
    Links in PDF can do much more than open a web page.
    As noted you can create a form and replace the content layer and retain all the form fields and actions.
    If you convert a Word document to a PDF make sure you set the PDF Maker conversion settings include the conversion of web links to interactive links.

  • Why cant I copy and paste local links (file:/// or bookmarks) into an editable page (browser or email) in Fx 4 or 5, as I COULD in Fx 3?

    During the time I was using Fx 3, I found out that I could copy and past links and bookmark folders into an editable page in firefox, and manipulate those links just as I could in my emails for instance -- copy and paste to my hearts content! and the links would remain clickable--
    now, having switched to Fx 4, and then a week later Fx 5, I find out that in neither of these versions can I still do this same operation-- the links from file (file:///) and bookmarks to local pages (including about:config, or about:blank) used to show up in an editable page (and then saved in the scrapbook extension, but even if saved onboard my disk, no matter) as a clickable link-- (no, about config would not open up from a saved page, Im trying to remember more examples here, the LINK would still be a correct hyperlink)
    now, in Fx 4 and 5, these links are copied to the clipboard as text only!
    this saddens greatly-- I was making wonderful use of this feature back in Fx 3.6-- but Fx 5 really is faster, and so far, ALL the extensions Ive come to LOVE still work great in Fx5, and things happen faster
    can someone tell me why,
    and
    is there a config setting, or some other solution that can change this back for me?

  • If I copy and paste a web address, it does not become an underlined link..How to fix?

    I sell items on ebay. When I copy and paste a web address it does not become an underlined CLICK ABLE LINK.
    It does in automatically in Internet Explorer. I prefer using Firefox.
    How can I fix this ???

    PS The same thing happens if I try to email a link to someone.

    Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text on the "Compose New Mail page" there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic.<br />
    That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).<br />
    You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.<br />
    If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each (e.g. Insert hyperlink).<br />
