Make a new library. Set the media to be stored in the library. Drag the project from one library to the other.

You can do that, but it will take the whole clip and not just the portion used in the timeline.

Thanks. When it asks if I want to include Media, do I want Original Media and Optimized Media or just Optimized?

Original only. You can’t do Optimized only.
