Copying and pasting clips to specific place in sequence
Hello,
Does anyone know how to copy a clip (audio or video) and place it in a specific place in the sequence i.e specific tracks and in and out points
Thanks. I appreciate any insight and info you are able to share

Clips paste into your auto selected tracks, which you can turn on and off by unchecking the little intersecting rectangles found just to the right of the lock icon for each track (on is dark gray, off is light gray). Video and audio will both paste into the lowest numbered auto-selected video tracks. If all auto selects are on or off for video/audio, your clip will paste into the track you copied it from.
Best,
Ben

Remember the clip will paste in where your timeline bar indicator thingy is too.
And, you’re having problems copying and pasting just a part of a video clip, and don’t want the audio to follow, you could just try using the blade tool at your in and outs to make that clip separate, select it, copy it, and then paste it elsewhere (after ‘joining through edit’ to repair your cuts). This is what I did before someone enlightened me about the auto-select buttons. (which is a heck of a lot easier way to do it!

You don’t need to cut the clip for selection. Use In and Out points and the auto select buttons to pick exactly what portions of the timeline, tracks and clips you want to copy, hen use the auto select buttons to control exactly where you want to place that material.
All the best,

Yeah – that’s why I said that’s what I did before someone told me about the right way to do it! Just thought I’d give another way of doing the same thing.
