Apologies if this is a stupid question. I'm currently editing together a ten minute short that is very fast-paced with lots of cuts. I know how to put a sequence together in Final Cut and I'm doing that for each scene but when it comes to putting the final film together, how do I put the sequences together? Do I simply paste them into one long and unwieldy sequence?
Create a sequence for the film and drop the other sequences into it to create one big sequence that can have overlapping sound and soundtrack elements. If they are all captured at the same speed there won't be a problem.
This way it is easy to rearrange the movie and any subsequences that are changed will be changed in the master sequence as well (watch out though as soundtracks and audio in the master sequence may have to be realigned.

I cut features all the time using Final Cut. I tend to cut in 10 to 15 minutes sequences.
But at some point it all must be put together into one, final movie.
"Unwieldy"? I don't see it that way. A 90 to 120 minute movie is a pretty long sequence
and once all the EFX are in and all the audio in place I guess you could call it unwieldy.
But I don't know of any other way.
