Timeline click & drag clip copy
Hi everyone,
Quick question:
Is there a way to highlight a clip in the timeline, hold down a key and then drag a copy of that clip to another video track? I am trying to add blending modes to multiple clips and its annoying to copy/paste the clip then drag the new copy above the old one. Does this make sense?
thank you!
Josh

If you set your CTI in the right place and select the track you want it to be on, copy/paste gets your clip where you want it in one go.

Hey Josh,
I agree there should be a drag copy feature in Premiere Pro.
I have a workaround however…a little clunky but beats all the selecting tracks stuff.
1. select the clip and [ctrl+c] it (to copy any attributes).
2. dbl click the clip to open the clip in the source monitor
3. drag the clip from the source to the place in the timeline where you’d like it.
4. select the clip and then [ctrl+alt+v] to paste attributes.If there are no effects added to it (or you don’t want to copy them), you can omit steps 1 and 4. It’s a bit silly, but it works and is certainly better than worrying about the CTI and track selection every time you paste.

Thank you.
i just had the same question in CS6 and your method is quick and easy. One note: ctrl+v didnt work for some reason, but rightClick and Paste Attributes fixed that.
thanks again. -
Johnny…Good news!
In CS6 you can simply alt-drag a clip and all attributes come with it.
By the way it was ctrl-alt-v, not ctrl-v to paste attributes.
