  • How to copy and paste clip selections using IN and Out points

    Posted by Paul Nevison on October 19, 2012 at 12:07 am

    Hey there

    just switched to PP Cs6 this week..liking it so far…

    Have a question regarding copy and pasting clip selections

    Is there a way to copy and paste sections of clips on a sequence using IN and OUT while preserving the source track ie not using lift/extract?

    I normally make a “master” timeline with all my interview footage, then I make a selects timeline, and to get those selects, I’d like to copy and paste between IN and OUT points without extracting the material (like the lift). That way I can still have my full “master” timeline to refer to.

    thanks

    Set your in and out point in your timeline as normal. You can use lift (shortcut 😉 and then undo (command+z or control+z). Since the lifted portion will remain on your clipboard, you can go to your other sequence and paste.

    Not quite as intuitive as you’d think, but it works and it’s only an extra keystroke.

    You can also Alt+drag the clip from one sequence to another sequence.
