Hi Tom,

like I wrote above I made the compound clip of the outro, but I still can't paste it at the end of the other main clip.. help please

Let's try to make this simple, shall we?

You have the main project's timeline in front of you, right?

Forget copy and paste. You have the compound clip of the outro in your browser, right? DRAG it to the end of the timeline. Done. Or (better!): in the browser, select the full compound (if you have a yellow selection of only part, press X to select it all), and just press E.

Select the compound clip. Cmd-V. Place skimmer/playhead where you want. Opt-V. Done.

Please give a step by step with screenshots of what you're doing. You can also, as Luis said, drag the compound into the timeline above the clips that are there and drop it as a connected clip.

Your work is completely separate from the application. You don't lose anything created in the trial version.

Whatever you're most comfortable using is the best. I've used NLEs for more than 30 years. For freedom and creativity FCP is the best by far. If you're working in Hollywood you need to use Avid. Everything in between is a waste of time.

Where are you copying from? Where are you pasting to? Post screenshots of what’s happening in the application.

You did not post the picture. To post an image click the little camera button above the text entry area and select the desired file.

You can’t put one project inside another. Open the outro and make a compound clip of the contents. You can drag the compound clip from the browser into the project you want to put it in.

No. You don’t make a compost nd clip of Outro. You make a compound clip of the contents. Open Outro in the timeline. Select everything. Make the compound clip.

That’s not necessary. You can just attach the compound to the content of the other project.

Post a new question in a separate thread. It helps with searches.
