Copy and Paste doesn't work inside compound clips

If I have two compound clips, when I try to copy some clips from inside one, then open the other compound clip and paste, nothing happens.
However, if I try the same on a project timeline paste works.
This is really annoying as I cannot move a clip from one scene to another when I have set up my scenes as compound clips.

They were created in 10.0.8.
Are you definitely going into two separate compound clips?
For example, If I explode one of the compound clips on a timeline then paste works again. That still means I need separate projects for each scene which is a pain.
What I would like in FCP X, is to be able to have more than one timeline open simulataneously, so I can drag relevant clips between them. I am finding with a documentary that I am editing, where the story is not obvious and scripted in advance, that developing story idea sections as compound clips is really incovenient. I often realise that clips there were in one section work better in another. This was much easier in FCP 7 where you can open two timelines and drag between them.
I hope apple add the ability to open multiple timelines.

  • Copy and Paste Doesn't Work in Windows

    Copy and paste does not work in iTunes 9.1.0.79 in Windows 7.
    When I select songs in a playlist to copy to a folder in Windows 7, I can select all and copy. But nothing appears when I try to paste those songs. Paste is grayed out.
    (Or is copy and paste supposed to work only within iTunes?)
    Any help in solving this problem would be appreciated.

    Correct.
    You are copying the text from the columns displayed in iTunes.
    You can paste that into a text document.
    To assist others which may have the same question and see this topic, what was your solution?
    Just drag the songs from iTunes to the folder you want.

  • Copy and paste doesn't work

    I have attempted to copy values using copy/paste. When I apply the paste nothing is put in the designated cell. I have attempted to copy titles as well and they were not pasted.
    I opened a new spreadsheet as a test and found that the copy/paste technique works on it. Why does this work on one spreadsheet and not the other? Have I turned something off or on which prevents this from working on the spreadsheet? Is there a preference that is involved?
    I am running Snow Leopard on an iMac.

    I had the same problem with a Numbers '09 SS that I got as an email attachment. I couldn't copy and paste cells, no matter what was in the cells. I couldn't move cells or groups of cells. The only thing I could do was highlight the contents of one cell and copy and paste that. But that gets old fast.
    So I tried exporting the SS as an Excel document (I don't have Excel, but it doesn't matter) and then opening it again in Numbers. It Worked!! Now I can move and copy and paste cells, columns, rows.

  • Cut, Copy, and Paste doesn't work for some Project files

    We have some Project files where the Cut, Copy, and Paste function is not working.  Suspecting corruption, I tried doing a "Save for Sharing", to no avail.
    Is there a switch setting that we are missing?
    We are using Project Server v2010 with SP2.  Our Project Pro clients are on SP2.

    Hi Chris,
    It could be due to a enterprise global corruption. Does it happen on a specific enterprise view? Does it work well in the default Gantt view?
    Try to open the enterprise global and make a copy of the table with the same fields and attributes, then replace the old table with the new one in all the relevant views.
    Hope this helps,

  • Copy and paste doesn't work well in Microfsoft Office

    When I want to copy and paste text in a document I select the text with my trackpad. Because I have to do it repetitive and quickly I use the apple c button while my finger is on the trackpad.
    I discovered it is not possible to have your finger on the trackpad and press the apple c button at the same time in Microsoft Office. It will not copy anything. A successful copy/paste action is only possible when your fingers are not at the trackpad.
    Does anyone knows a solution for this? Thanks!

    You should post questions regarding Office on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software, as they're geared more toward the issue than a forum for Apple products:

  • Copy and paste buffers not working correctly in iOS 8.1m

    Both iPads2's in my family arsenal are exhibiting what I believe to be a bug in the iOS8.1 (perhaps corrected by 8.1.1?), in the cut/copy & paste buffer stack.
    When invoking the operation to copy and paste data from one application to another, the paste action consistently selects the previous (e.g., stack level 2 rather than 1 or Top) data as what is to be pasted.
    In other words, if you have used the copy and paste routine twice, the second pasting will supply one with the paste data from the first operation, rather than the desired data from the second copy and paste operation.
    Copy and paste appears to work correctly from within a single application, but consistently fails when copying data from one application to another.
    Does anyone know of a work-around for this bug? Is it a bug that others have identified? Is there a new selection filter menu option for copy and paste operations, and what method is used to invoke the menu?
    I hope this is addressed soon, as I use Cut/Copy & Paste operations extensively (I've already had Carpal Tunnel Release surgery once and don't relish a repeat performance, no matter how successful the first was in correcting the damage).
    Any clues as to what's going on here?
    thanks in advance,

    All you can do is simply see if iOS 8.1.1 helps you with this. With some people it has, and others it has not. I would also recommend doing a clean install of your system, too.
    Follow this procedure for a Troubleshooting Methodology ... basically reset to factory default condition -BUT- be sure to do the following methodically and also to follow the part with Apple Support!
    First you want to make sure you have several backups of your data and done with a couple of "different" sources. Be sure to understand what data is backed up and what is NOT on iCloud Backup and iTunes Backup. Use a variety of methods for backup ... you might check into Dropbox, in addition to your Apple options.
    Then turn off your desktop anti-virus software when using iTunes for this reset to factory default. After you do that reset, then leave your iPad in its factory default state and see how it operates then. If you encounter any problems in that factory default state, then take it to Apple Support, and let them know that you have just reset it to that state with iTunes and have not put any of your data back on and it is operating in this fashion (whatever the problem is) in that pristine state. Make sure you keep that trouble ticket number, because if it has to be escalated through Apple Support, you're going to find all communications tied in with that number. If the lower level help isn't able to help you, then escalate it to a higher level to examine the problem. Keep at it with that trouble ticket number until Apple Support arrives at a solution to that problem. Be methodical and keep at it.
    On the other hand, if everything is okay with the factory default condition, then restore your backup. Some people have discovered that the problem resides in the apps or something in the restored backup. If that's the case, then it's going to be trying and difficult to find out which developer's app is causing you the problem. And ... it's true ... that a developer not following Apple's instructions and guidelines for his app can CAUSE YOU TROUBLE. This kind of thing does happen from developers, especially when a new system upgrade comes out, because some developers ignore what Apple tells them about changes coming, and what they do BREAKS SOMETHING.
    This is a troubleshooting methodology that you are going through. See it through to the end.

  • Copy and paste function stopped working?

    The copy and paste function stopped working on my laptop (ibook g4, OSX 10.3.9). It does not work in any applications, tried MS word, safari, preview.
    How do I recover this function?
    Thanks.

    Hi Magno2002
    Your Finder may have lost contact with the clipboard, so try this.
    In ~/library/preferences locate these two files and trash them
    com.apple.finder.plist
    com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    To re-establish them, log out and log back in again.
    You will need to reset your finder and sidebar as you had them before.

  • Copy and paste does not work

    Hi All,
    I have windows vista, adobe master suite collection cS3. I am having trouble using copy and paste and screen grabs in Adobe Photoshop.
    Does anyone know what may be cauing this?
    Thanks,
    Helen

    I copied website captures fine onto Paint and copied text and screen captures on Microsoft word fine. I am mainly trying to copy and paste website screen grabs. For example I tried copying a website screen grab straight onto Photoshop.
    I am using the manual form of copy and pasting through the mouse right click. Strangely when closing and reopening Photoshop the copy and paste tool works temporarily however after a couple of copy and pasting’s the copy and paste function doesn’t work again!
    Thanks John, do you know of any screen capture programs that work on windows vista home and adobe cs3.
    Thanks,
    Helen

  • My copy and paste no longer works. Any ideas?

    Hi, my copy and paste function no longer works. Even using menu rather than short cut does not work. Any ideas?

    Hello Heather:
    Your second post is "interesting." You probably are a committee of one that moves to a Windows platform from an Apple one.
    In any event, if you want help resolving your Safari problem, post back. If not, best of luck to you.

  • Copy and paste has stopped working. Bad memory.

    Strange new event. In some programs, so far two, if I copy some text there is now a clicking sound (new) and when I paste that text in to another place in the program then it either pastes what was in the clipboard before, in a prior paste, or it pastes a hybrid combo of what was there before and the just-copied text.
    If I go to text edit, or to safari or mail program, then copy and paste work just fine. If I look at what is in the clipboard (via Finder) then the expected content is there.
    Has anyone run into this odd thing?
    Thanks,

  • Cut and Paste doesn't work in lots of apps

    I was surprised that cut and paste does not work in Twitter, in App descriptions and other places. It's nice that it works on web sites and email text, notes, etc. But, am I wrong about this?

    herbmann wrote:
    I don't understand your reply. I am able to copy and paste from web sites without any problems.
    That's because cut and paste to a web page isn't the same copy and paste from it. Your first post (and the title of this thread) referred to +cutting and pasting to+ a twitter web page.
    You can copy text from anywhere, but you can +cut and paste+ only to editable fields.

  • Synchronize settings and copy and paste settings not working LR 4.1

    Recently upgraded to LR 4.1.
    The copy and paste settings and also synchronize setttings in LR 4.1 has stopped working.
    Rebooted, nothing new added
    AMD Phenom II X6 1100T 3.60gh
    16 GB ram
    64 bit

    I am also seeing issues in 4.1 with Synchronize settings. I'll giove an example:
    Select all images, change the white balance in most selected image, Click "Sync..." have only the "white balance" check box checked, click Synchronize biutton. All images in that folder appear to have synched, but looking more closely, some of the images did not get the white balance setting applied - this is really random also. Had the same issue trying to sync exposure across all images in a folder - 150ish images.
    Never seen this in any version of LR prior to 4.1 - I have had them all since 1.2.
    I am running Windows 7 x64 8GB on i7 920.
    Hopefully Adobe are investigating this issue.
