How to work while switching between multiple projects

Question

Is there a way to work while switching between multiple projects? Reopening each time takes time. Also, it would be helpful if materials could be copied between projects. 　

Answer

This is possible by opening multiple projects using the "Dynamic Project Switching" feature. By using the "project switching" function, it is possible to copy timelines, compound clips, and Fusion clips that could not be shared with the Power Bin between projects.

Procedure overview

1. Enable "Dynamic Project Switching" in Project Manager.
2. Opening Projects from the Project Manager Opened
   projects will remain open in the background until they are closed.
3. Switch between projects with the project name dropdown at the top.
4. (Afterwards, if necessary) Ctrl+C the clip or timeline to be copied on the media pool.
5. Switch the destination project with the project name dropdown at the top
6. "Ctrl+V" in the media pool of the destination project

How to enable "Dynamic Project Switching"
