  • Select “Project Manager.” This opens the Project Manager dialog box.

  • Select your final sequence in the “Sequence” block.
  • Select “Collect Files and Copy to New Location.”
  • Under the “Options” dialog box, select “Exclude Unused Clips” and “Audio Conform Files.” De-select all other options.

  • In the Project Manager, under “Destination Path,” click “Browse.”
  • Choose the destination for the packaged project.
