Add new projects to existing project

Beitrag von KristofD »

Maybe this question has been answered before, perhaps in German ...

I have a large project file made in M-Objects, and several smaller projects. How can I add all these smaller projects to the large project, at the end ?

Let's name the projects : "X", "a", "b" and "c".

Do I have to open project "a", select all, copy to Clipboard, close "a", open "X", paste from Clipboard, save "X", close "X", open "b", select all, copy to Clipboard, close "b", open "X", paste from Clipboard, save "X", close "X", open "c", etcetera ?

Is there any other possibility to do this faster ? (something like : "import from other project on harddisk")

You may answer this question in German :-)

Thanks a lot !

You can open multiple sessions of Mobjects at the same time. Just ignore the error message popup window when you try to start MO again.
So I recommend to open one new target project "Y" in one sesson. Then open in a second session one after the other the projects X, a, b, c, ... and copy&paste the content to project "Y".
It is recommended to switch of the screen of all sessions. Otherwise it might be confusing which screen belongs to which session.

If the projects are in different subdirectories I would recommend that you merge all project, image, audio, video, ... subfolders first.
Of course a prior backup is always a good idea and a final MO cleanup (export copy) of project will keep only the media files, which are really used.
