Past insert – dupe detection – is clip used

[Dave Jenkins]

[Oliver Peters] “1. Past insert. The closest I’ve found is a two-step workaround. Paste as connected clip and then drag into the primary storyline. Any more direct way?”

Copy and Paste that inserts the clip at the playhead.

You are right. For some reason it appeared to overwrite instead of insert when I used it last. Might be affected by the Position tool. I’ll have to test. Thanks.

I’ve seen this to but I haven’t use X enough to know when and how it sometimes overwrites.

FCP always had a way to find used clips. Highlight the seq, cmd+f, choose find used clips. From there you can label them any color and all instances will be labeled that color. However it doesn’t keep up as the edit progresses of course, but very useful nonetheless. There isn’t any simple way to mark clips in a bin as used or dupe detection that I’ve found. Hopefully they’ll add those features right after transitions that will start or end on edit.

I’m not sure I follow your procedure for dupe detection??? Is it a way of revealing all used clips in the event? How do I colour code??
Confused!
