Copying a series of objects, mp4 and jpg's from one project to another

I decided to break some portions of my video into 'bit sized chunks" So I created a small project (Project A) containing about 20 objects, a mix of jpg's and mp4 videos. I was melding phone and camera pictures and tyring to get them in meaningful order in a small, limited sized project. In Timeline Mode I select all of them.

I open my bigger overall project (Porject B) separately keeping Project A, also open. So now I have two projects open side-by-side as it were. But I'm not being able to copy the "coupled" objects from A to B. At least, I can't find a place to paste them into Proj B's Timeline or (Storyline if necessary). I've tried opening a spot for them in B. I tried copying to the end of B figuring I would move them. I did succeed the other day moving one jpg and its associated titles. This move/copy is confounding me.

Once again, User Error or...

Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't have two projects for the same trip: just set up two "movies" in the one project. Here, I renamed the "first" movie (your Youtube) and have clicked on the Movie Details dropdown so you can see the options available.

Click the "+" sign and a new movie will be created in the same project.

You can easily copy and paste between movies: select the object, click Copy, then click on the tab of the movie you want to paste it to by clicking on the tab, position the Play marker and hit Paste.

Each movie can have different parameters in all respects eg different ratios, sizes, you could make a short one for emailing, and a longer, higher quality one for TV viewing or YT, all in the same project.
