Sounds good. I think it's very ok to have these things working "somehow" where we know it is not optimal and will change soon. > There are two main uses for project clips : [...snip good reasons...] I usually have the same intro for a number of clips. I often want to save a special sequence out of a longer movie. Also I hat eto use more than one or two different transition effects. So if I am done to create my custom transition, which is a mix of a fade,swirl and a line-wipe, I can just 'group' (or 'lock' or whatever) it and then easily make copies and use them in the project. When making more complicated composings it is nice to 'deflate' a part which is basically done to get more overview on the whole production. .... If I think a few minutes longer I can probably com up with anther ten reasons why 'sequences' 'composed clips' or 'project clips' or what ever we call it are _really_ important. ;-) Great that we know it'll work.
