Duplicating a clip to another track

Is there a keyboard shortcut that will duplicate a selected clip in the timeline and put the copy in the track above in exactly the same position?

Option-Shift drag to the upper layer. Release the mouse, then release the keys.

  • Copying Clip in another Track

    Good morning,
    I am using FCE 3.0 and am having trouble copying clips into another track. I have tried the Copy/Paste method as well as dragging the selected clip with the <Option>key.
    The Copy/Paste method does not paste the clip at the playhead on a different track, and the <Option> key method simply moves the clip from one track to another.
    I'm sure I'm missing some simple element here and would like to know what it is.
    Thanks.

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    For the copy/paste way: pay attention to select the correct video and audio tracks targets.
    Sometimes, it's easier to place your playhead right after the last clip of the sequence and paste. Reposition the resulting copy.
    For the option drag: pay attention to use option key BEFORE clicking on your original clip, and drag.
    Check if your tracks are locked.

  • How can I stop sound track from being divided when adding clips to other tracks in PrE12?

    The situation:
    I have a project with several minutes of video clips on the timeline (expert view) in "Video 1/Audio 1."  There is also music on the sound track (below the empty "Narration" track).
    Any time I make an edit to the Video 1 track, PRE cuts the Sound Track.  (Note that this is not the Audio 1 track, it's the sound track which is two tracks away.)  If I insert a clip, the Sound Track is cut and left with a gap.  Same if I do a FreezeFrame insert.  This is bad enough (make ten insertions, have the Sound Track chopped into ten separate pieces), but it gets worse: when I try to slide the Sound Track pieces back together, the Video 1 clips will be moved around.
    This appears to be a major bug but I'm hoping there is a simple way to deal with it.
    Here's what the Manual (p.71) has to say about it (not much).
    "When you insert a clip into the Expert view timeline, adjacent clips on all tracks shift to accommodate the new clip. By shifting all clips together, the audio and video of the existing clips remain in sync."
    * The question here is, adjacent to what?  The Sound Track is a continuous music clip of many minutes; it is alone on the Track, and there is nothing on the track above it (Narration track).  So it's not adjacent to anything, and yet it is being chopped up.
    The Manual continues:
    "Sometimes, you don’t want all clips to shift with each insertion. For example, when you add background music that superimposes the entire movie, you don’t want clips to shift."
    *They got that right, but they don't say anything about how to prevent it.
    This next makes no sense at all:
    "To shift specific clips togather, press the Alt key as you insert.  At a time, you can shift specific clips simultaneously on a maximum of two tracks.  These include the track receiving the insertion and the track containing the linked audio or video (if any). The affected tracks shift together, remaining aligned. The clips on other tracks are unaffected."
    *There is no mention of how to specify what clips would be shifted, or not.
    I'm not dealing with linked clips.  And they tell me how to shift clips (sort of) but nothing about how to stop clips from being cut up and shifted.  This all makes it very hard to create a coordinated product.
    Any suggestions or solutions will be much appreciated.

    Thanks, ATR,
    I wll try this--but I still am unclear on how to do what the Manual says is possible: select clips on another track that WILL be moved, if I so desire, so as to remain synched to the main Video track.
    UPDATE:
    In the case of inserting Freeze Frame, I just tried both Ctrl method and Alt method, and neither worked.
    1. Put Video on Vid1 track
    2. Put Music on Sound Track
    3. Ran a few seconds of Vid
    4. Stopped Vid, selected Freeze Frame
    5. Held down Ctrl key while clicking "Insert in Movie"  also tried with holding down Alt key.
    Result: a 3 second still was inserted int the Vid1 track.  A corresponding gap was created in the Sound Track.
    6. Slid the final part of the Sound Track to the left along the timeline to re-connect it to the next segment created by the above process.
    Result: the video following the final Freeze Frame was pushed to the right end of  Video1 track.
    7. Slid the Sound Track all the way to the left.
    Result: the entire Video 1 Track contents were pushed to the right and divided in pieces.
    I documented each step with screen shots which I can send if you want them and if I can figure out how to do it.
    UPDATE #2
    In the case of inserting a video clip to the Timeline, I just tried both Ctrl method and Alt method, and neither worked.
    1. Locate video in Project Assets
    2a. R click video in Project Assets (pull-down menu appears), hold down Ctrl, click Insert to Timeline.
    Result: Vid clip is inserted on Video 1 track, Sound Track is separated with a corresponding gap.
    2b.  R click video in Project Assets (pull-down menu appears), push Alt
    Result: pull-down menu disappears as soon as Alt is pushed down.
    I can stil drag the Vid clip but it's one more manual step...I love shortcuts!!

  • Every now and then I get about a half second clip of another song

    Every now and then I get about a half second clip of another song at the end of a song. If you immediately go back and play the same again, you get the same little burp at the end. But if you play three or four songs and then go back, the little burp is not there. I did a restore on the ipod, and I am still getting the little burps. It only happens maybe once out of every 10 songs played.
    Files are MP3's which play fine on the PC in WMP and itunes, and on Dell DJ15, Zune and Sansa MP3 players. Some of the MP3s were ripped from CD using MusicMatch, some recorded off old lps using Creative Go!, and some downloaded so I don't think it is an issue with the MP3s themselves. Since I use several different players, I don't want to maintain a separate AAC library just for the ipod.
    Usually the burst is so short that you can't even tell who the artist was, but when I have recognized it was always something very close alphabetically - at the end of a Cream song I got a little Creed, at the end of a Bad Company song I got a little Bachman-Turner Overdrive, at the end of a Led Zeppelin track I got a little Linkin Park.

    Does this help?

    Using Windows, the only answer would seem to be to re-encode them using iTunes.

  • Adding multiple clips to a track

    I read the manual and I know it`s possible to add more than one clip to a single track. I never done it before. I just want to add 3 clips one after the other.
    I`d like to know if this works well, if there isn`t any known issues. Is this compatible with any dvd player? Is it really fluid from one clip to another?
    Thanks.

    It's a totally seamless move from clip to clip, just as if you have placed them in the final cut timeline and play through each one after the other. The way you have them edited might present a visual shock, of course, but the playback will be fine having them in one track.
    In fact, I'd recommend it over having three tracks. You have got more flexibility over how you arrange playback (play one, play all, etc) and it is a simpler job to author one track instead of three.

  • Copy and paste clips in different tracks

    Hi everyone!
    Since i upgrade from premiere pro to CS4, some easy stuff like copying and pasting my clip from one track to another one does't work.
    When a select a clip in my timeline then i hit CTRL+C then i select another video track and hit CTRL+V instead of copying the clip in the selected video track, it just copy it back in the same track it was before.
    I know, it's not such a big deal but i fouded it really useful so if anyone know how to do that it would really help me out.
    Thanx a lot for all your response
    gen

    Hi Jim,
    Thank you for you'r answer.
    Like as you said, i've been targeting the track and only one track at a time but i'll start by downloading the update 4.1 and see what happen. I'll let you guys know it it fix my problem.
    Thanx again,

  • Copying Clips to New Tracks in Premier Elements 2

    I am using Premier Elements 2 and I'm trying to copy clips from Video 1 track to another video track. When I paste the clip it always seems to appear on Video track 1.
    How can I copy a clip from video 1 track to any other track i.e 2, 3 or 4.
    Many Thnaks.
    Stewie

    Any time you use paste, the clip will go to Video 1 at the position of the CTI.
    To place a clip on another video track, just drag it there.

  • Copying clips to different tracks

    This seems to be a beginner's issue, but anyway: when I copy a clip in a sequence and want to paste it on a different track, the clip always ends up on the track I copied from.
    Changing the destination track before pasting doesnot work with me.
    The same thing happens when I paste the clip in another sequence.
    Is there a hidden pref or setup that can make it work?

    C'mon Bogie! You and I both know < </div>
    Actually, Patrick, I freely admit I do not know anything about AutoSelect's operations and here's why:
    With AutoSelect activated, your designations for destination and selection tracks are overridden by invisible, behind-the-interface, logic parameters. There is no indication which tracks are activate. The only visible indicators in the timeline, the user-selected destinations, are invalidated by AS. You must remember the logical progressions AutoSelect uses to determine where your tracks are going to end up. If AutoSelect knows where they're going, why isn't there a visual indication?
    Yes, some tracks light up if you have in/out points set. That is a higher editing function not required or even desired by lots of folks like me who just need to cut-paste without having to remember invisible priorities. It's lame programming, a bad idea that remains unfinished. For many users, AutoSelect just gets in the way of enjoying FCP by obscuring basic operations and overriding user decisions.
    FCP includes non-features that assume the operator is an idiot. I'm impatient; I'm not an idiot. I live with these hassles and I resent the presumptuousness of the design team. AutoSelect bites; I just turn it off, but Media Manager remains inexcusably flawed.

  • How do I swap one clip for another in Final Cut Pro 7?

    How do I sway one clip for another in Final Cut Pro 7? I am doing what it says in a book but it is not working. Thanks.

    You drag the clip from the browser to the clip on the timeline. Wait till the timeline clip goes white. Drop it and pick from the menu that appears the replace option you want.

  • When i try to open piano roll it is stuck on the same track regardless of whether another track is selected. I cannot elect a new synt track and pull up in piano roll

    When i try to use piano roll it always goes back to a single track. Even if I select another track or adda new blank track it will not open.
    Also if I add notes to the track that opens I cannot hear them when i place them on piano roll

    There's a little icon in the top left corner of the piano roll window that looks like a pair of chain links. If that is selected (goes yellow) then the piano roll editor is linked to the arrange page region selection(s). Sounds like what you want.
    It's really useful sometimes to be able to unlink, so that you can keep one piano roll open (to watch the timing of the notes, for example) and not haver it change each time you do something in the arrange page.
    Also, next to it is a little man running icon. If that is selected, the piano roll will chase the cursor. If not selected, it won't. Also useful sometimes.
    Hope that helps

  • Using DC from another track ??? possible??

    Hi Experts,
    Out of curiosity i wanted to know whether i can access public part of some other DC DC1 from some other track T1 from a different DC DC2 of another track T2?
    If yes , can you please tell me how?
    Regards,
    Ashish Shah

    Hi Ashish,
    Ans: NO
    Explanation:
    U cannot connect to 2 tracks at once, U can only connect to one track at any time.
    So you cannot access public part of some other DC DC1 from some other track T1 from a different DC DC2 of another track T2?
    Because when u are connected to T2, Only dc's under S/w componentents in Track T2 can be seen and hence u cannot acess Public part of someother Dc in Track T1.
    Thanks n Regards,
    Archana

  • DCs to move from one tract to another track

    Hi,
                  We have two tracks one is in DC0 and the other is DC1.
                   We have done lot of developments in the DC0 track and now we need to move this code
                   from DC0 track to DC1 track.
    Please let me know how to do this.
    Thanks,

    Your request to export import single DC from one track to another is unusual.
    It is usually SCs that needs to be moved.
    Explanation:
    The SAP approach to the software development is that you create SCs and develop DCs inside these SCs. DCs stays within their SCs for good.
    If another DC(1) needs to use original DC(0) then:
    - if DC(1) is in the same SC and DC(0), than DC(1) uses DC(0) via pub parts
    - if DC(1) is in SC(1) and DC(0) is in SC(0) (same or different track - des not matter), SC(1) should declare SC(0) as required. SC(0) should be imported to the same track as SC(1).
    There is never a need for DC to jump between SCs, because it makes it impossible to make any sense of version tracking and dependencies after that.
    If you need an entire SC with all the DCs to come over to another track, there are two ways:
    - create a new track and import assembled SC;
    - copy old track to new track and import assembled SC
    It has been discussed several times in forum like this:

  • How to import a clip from another Imovie movie ?

    I have imported with Imovie HD in two distinct movies some clips that I wish to merge in one larger movie.
    What is the simplest way to merge two movies ?
    What is the simplest way to import just one clip from another movie ?
    Thanks !!!

    Well I found where those clips were trashed too. Its not the iMovie trash can as indicated by the help text! Its the user trash can. Here is how I found my clips in case this is useful for anyone else.

    To see the total space taken up by these files I did:
    find . -name '*.dv' -exec ls -l {} \; | grep Trash | awk 'BEGIN { space = 0}; { space += $5}; END { print "total space",space}'
    total space 1794600000
    So I just have to empty the main trash in order to recover from my first copy/paste effort to move clips from one project to another. BTW is there a way to copy them to the clips pane and not the timeline?
