copy and paste segments from a sequence

[Stefan Kamp]

It’s done by COMMAND-X(cut), or C (copy), and (SHIFT)+COMMAND-V (paste or paste insert).
Same way as FCP

If, within a sequence, I set in and out points, then Cmd C, then Cmd V at a blank place in the same sequence, nothing happens — nothing is either copy or pasted.

I have Premier CS6.0.1 running on 2 different MBPs OS10.6.8 (two licenses) and it is the same on both systems.

Any additional thoughts?

Thanks,

The thing is, you can’t copy and paste with i/o. (but you CAN delete).
Copy and pasting is done by selection, so select (drag) your segment, copy and paste…

Jim,

I have the same issue with Premiere Pro CS6. I found a workaround by marking in and out, then lift the section using ( ; ). Instantly press ( CMD + Z ) to undo. Then you have the clip segment copied with the in and out points on your clipboard. You can go ahead and paste it anywhere. I happen to have 8 sequences open and am copying and pasting from, and to all of them. This also works with multiple video/audio tracks in the sequence. Just make sure you click the tracks you want to add to the copy and paste by selecting the track header to the left.

** Is this the only way to do it? If there is another way, I would love to know. I feel like it should be much easier.

Ultimately, I am trying to mark in and out on a section of the timeline, copy that marked section, and be able to paste it anywhere in the sequence or another sequence in the project.

I hope this help you out a little Jim, this was driving me nuts to figure out.

I am a commercials editor and am looking to make the switch from FCP to either Premiere or AVID and this is a huge one for me. This function is pretty much the core of my selecting process where speed is everything, so a work around isn’t ideal. I have spoken to a few editors about the fact that this is not doable in Adobe Premiere, and I can tell you that it generally gets a shocked and disappointed “hmm”. It should really be a customizable option.

It’s been updated and you can do this now with the new creative cloud version. I switched 3 years ago from FCP and absolutely love it. Avid left a bad taste in my mouth years ago too, although I hear it’s better now.
