hi, spencer.
i've cut a few features using the same basic workflow as yours (mulitple station, duplicated media)
we copy and paste the work into a new project, and hand that over.
this can be saved with a descriptive name & a date.
this makes it terribly easy to hand over to the editor,
(it's smaller, and self-descriptive)
and it's then "in the system"
as the editor, i don't want to wait while a large project opens,
then have to hunt around inside it for the latest sequences.
my assistant does their work,
saves a small project to a folder in my drive ("from Assistant" or whatever)
this folder is sorted by date on my end, so i just open the uppermost project.
i open it and copy paste the sequence back into mine.
works for me!
cheers,
nick
