# Duplicating, Exporting and Importing a Sequence

A Sequence can be duplicated, and it can be exported or imported as a **.seq** file.

## Duplicate a Sequence

1. **`Right-click`** on the Sequence tab to open a contextual menu.
2. Select **{Duplicate}** from the menu; this will create a copy of the Sequence.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Problems related to Cues and Mappings might be experienced when duplicating a Sequence. Caution is advised.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Importing a Sequence into another project is possible, but given that the Timeline is Screen-based, the 3D Scene objects corresponding to the Timeline Screens need to be present in the 3D Scene prior to the import. 

Cues will have to be rebuilt because they are project dependent for the most part.
