    Hi list,

    Having two viewer windows open I can only paste (P) from the main window, not the second one.

    Is there anyway to hotstroke this ability so I can copy into the time line from either window with just noe stroke.

    Many thanks and warm regards,

    Kevin

    The active viewer is the source if an edit’s made from it to the sequence. There’s not a keyboard shortcut assigned to select any “new viewer” past the Viewer window, (note the word “Viewer” in it’s lable) Cmd+1 activates the Viewer window. But you can go back to the Browser by keyboard command, then by keyboard select the clip and hit the return key and it’s New Viewer becomes the active source window so that’s the keyboard shortcut to it.

    When you say “paste” I’m guessing you probably mean the insert/overwrite etc keyboard commands which will only work for the main Viewer and not any additional “new viewers”. If you want to work with multiple source viewers then you can put the clip in the sequence by dragging it to the Canvas or Timeline window, or alternatively through regular copying and pasting.
