[Brian Dawley] “• Is there a way to option-shift-drag clips to duplicate or do I need to do the “matchframe-then-overcut” method, or copy – paste [somewhere close) then drag into desired position?”
Nope….copy and paste is the answer…just watch your track targeting before you paste so things land where you want them to…
[Brian Dawley] “• In FCP I often would temporarily assign a color to a group of clips in the Browser so I could quickly ID them in the sequence (like for copying / pasting attributes). Can this be done in PP? I did see in a tutorial that you can find every instance of a used clip but this isn’t exactly what I’m going for.”
nope….it seems that setting label colors only works for clips before you send them to timeline….once they are in the timeline, changing the color in the project panel will not update the sequence instances.
