Moving, Copying, and Deleting Clips on the Desktop

You input, import, and load clips to destination reels on the Desktop. Once clips are on the Desktop, you can move, copy, and delete them. Note the following about these functions:

- Copying clips on the Desktop does not duplicate frames on the framestore.
- Deleting clips from the Desktop does not remove them from the framestore, provided they were previously saved to a clip library.
- All clip moving, copying, and deleting operations are tracked in the Undo and Redo boxes.

For gestural techniques to work, the Drag & Drop option must be selected in the Preferences menu. See Desktop Preferences.
