Failing to copy sequences inside a production fom one project to another

[Florian_Stgt]

I am facing an Issue that I sometimes cannot copy or move sequences from one project to another inside of a production.  Normally I open two projects inside the production and I drag one sequence from one project window to the other and the sequence moves or gets copied if I press CTRL while I drag the sequence. But sometimes it does not work, showing me the "forbidden" sign.

It seems to have something to do with the size or complexity of the sequence which fails to copy, or move.

I am on PP 25.1 (Build 73)

Hey @Florian_Stgt 

How are you doing ?

This issue in Premiere Pro 25.1 could be due to project corruption, sequence complexity, or media cache issues. Try these steps:

1) Check Read/Write Permissions - Ensure both projects inside the production have proper write access.

2) Use Import Instead - Instead of dragging,try File > Import and select the sequence manually.

3) Clear Media Cache - Go to Edit > Preferences > Media Cache and clear cache files.

4) Duplicate the sequence - Right click the sequence, duplicate it and then try dragging the duplicate.

5) Create a new project - Copy the problematic sequence into a new standalone project, then import it back.

Let me know if it helps!

Thankyou !

HI @Astonished_motivation5639,

thanks for the reply, the workaround via import did the trick for now.
