Gary. I don't use my FS for DV but my first thought was that there must be
an import solution. Rather than having to copy the clips and line them up .
Is there a doc somewhere on FS4 workflow? I would assume there is an import
solution which will concatenate the sections together for import. I did a
tiny amount of googling and there is a lot of discussion on importing with
PPro.
