You can copy one or more elements within the same layer, or from one layer to another. In addition, when copying across layers, you can maintain a vertical lock on the shots you are copying to preserve their 'horizontal' place in the timeline.

To copy elements within a layer:

1. In the multi-layer timeline, select the element(s) you want to copy.
2. Click Copy.

   The copied element(s) become red.

3. Drag the elements to a new position in the timeline.
4. Click the mouse button to complete the copy.

To copy a single element from one layer to another layer:

1. In the multi-layer timeline, select the element you want to copy.
2. Click Copy.

   The copied element becomes red.

3. Position the cursor over the element you wish to copy and click and hold the left mouse button.
4. To maintain a vertical lock on the copied element, hold down the Shift key.
   NoteIf you wish to copy the element to a different horizontal position, do not use the vertical lock.
5. Drag the element to the desired layer and horizontal time position.
6. Release the mouse button (and the Shift key, if required) to complete the copy.

To copy multiple elements from one layer to another layer:

1. In the multi-layer timeline, click once on the far-left element you want to copy in the layer.
2. Select the remaining elements you want to copy either by:
   • Holding down the Shift key and selecting the far-right element you want to copy, or
   • Holding down the Ctrl key and individually selecting the remaining elements you want to copy
     NoteUse the Shift key if you want to select all the elements in between the far-left and far-right elements. Use the Ctrl key if you want to select only the individually selected elements.
3. Click Copy.

   The copied elements become red.

4. Position the cursor over any of the elements you wish to copy and click and hold the left mouse button.
5. To maintain a vertical lock on the copied elements, hold down the Shift key.
   NoteIf you wish to copy the elements to a different horizontal position, do not use the vertical lock.
6. Drag the elements to the desired layer and horizontal time position on the Timeline.
7. Release the mouse button (and the Shift key, if required) to complete the copy.
