Hello everyone, I am trying to create a stand-alone production in premiere pro using 2 different projects, I copied the sequences separately into a new production, when I tried to edit/"generate master clips for media", the option is greyed out, I am not using proxies, these are actual files. Any suggestions are welcome! Thank you.  There is a solution posted in here, but that didn't work because the user in that example was using proxies. I am using the latest version of Premiere pro beta (25.3.0). Thanks in advance.

@richarda66559596 How did you "copy the sequences separately into a new production"? It sounds like you have two productions, and you want to take a project from each of them into a new production, is that correct? If so, follow these steps:

  1. You have an existing "Production 1" and a "Production 2". Create a new "Production 3" (call it whatever you want, I'm just using numbers to be clear)
  2. In the file system (Finder on Mac or Explorer on Windows) copy the project you want from Production 1 into the Production 3 folder.
  3. Do the same with the project from Production 2, copy that project into Production 3
  4. Now Production 3 has the two projects you wanted to bring in. You should be able to open one of the projects, select the sequence, and then choose Edit > Generate Source Clips for Media

Hi Richard,

I moved your post to the Premiere Pro Beta Bugs forum. I hope that's OK.
