Copying Clips

Copy clips on the desktop using the Copy button or gestural techniques. You can also copy a single frame or a range of frames, copy the audio tracks associated with a clip, copy timecode, copy keycode, or copy all clips on a reel.

To copy a clip or all clips on a reel using the Copy button:

1. From the desktop, click Copy.
2. From the Copy Mode box, select an option.

   
   

   Select:	To copy:
   Clip	A single clip.
   Reel	All clips on a reel.

3. With the red arrow cursor, select the clip or reel that you want to copy.
4. With the white arrow cursor, click the destination reel for the copied clip or reel.

To copy clips gesturally:

1. While pressing Spacebar, drag a clip to another reel. The copy appears as a partially transparent clip until you drop it.
   TipYou can adjust proxy transparency. See Desktop Proxies.

To copy a single frame gesturally:

1. While pressing Shift+spacebar, drag a clip to another reel. The copy appears as a partially transparent clip until you drop it.

To copy a source clip from an edited clip gesturally:

1. While pressing Shift, drag a frame belonging to the source clip that you want to copy to another reel. The copy appears as a partially transparent clip until you drop it.

To copy a range of frames, or to copy frames with or without audio:

1. Follow the instructions for the comparable Move button procedures. See Moving Clips.
   TipCopy clips by clicking in the middle of a frame and then dragging upward or downward. If you drag from the edges of frames, you risk cutting the clip. If you drag to the left or right, you simply scrub the reel.

2. From the Copy Mode box, select Timecode.
