NO Option/Drag to make a copy of a clip in time line

Sorry for what may be a very basic question but in several other programs that I use, pressing Option while dragging a selection will make a copy of the selection and place it where the mouse is released. Does Premiere have something like this for dragging and copying a clip in the time line?
Cris is Bliss

Alas, Premiere has no such drag-'n'-copy option. The closest you can get is using Ctrl/Cmd+C to copy your clip instance in the timeline, and then positioning the CTI where you want the copy to appear and pressing Ctrl/Cmd+V to paste. Be sure your tracks are targeted properly before pasting.
I, for one, would like to see this option in CS5... do what the cool kids do and make a feature request

CS4: How can I copy named potions of the time line to the projects panel?

I am trying to copy named portion of my time line to the project panel & I can't past the segment.
I copied a large AVI file to the time line, split it up into sections, & am trying to place the individual rename section into the Projects Panel. I can Copy the segment, but when I try to Paste it into the Projects Panel the Paste command is not "lighted up".
How can I copy named potions of the time line to the projects panel?

I found a way albeit a tedious method:
positioned the render bar( I do not know the proper name) to encompass each segment separately.
Exported that segment to Media.
Media in turn transferred the segment to the Media Encoder program.
The Media Encoder, after processing the segments, deposited the files in a temporary folder.
Lastly, imported the content of the folder to the Project Panel,
Thank you for all your suggestions.

Pages makes duplicate copy of my document every time I hit save

Hi,
I searched but didn't see this exact problem mentioned anywhere so here goes...
I'm using Pages 2.0.2 and everytime I hit save on a document I get a duplicate copy with "Backup of" affixed to the front of the file name also saved in the documents folder. The contents of both files are identical and include all the work/changes I've made up until I click save. Both versions of the file are being saved with the standard ".pages" extension.
This is happening on all of my files and it's driving me crazy.
I keep reading that Pages does not have an autosave/backup feature and I certainly can't find one in the preferences but mine seems to be backing up anyway.
Any ideas?

Hi
Don't know if this has anything to do with it, sorry if it doesn't, but when you first did File>Save As did you tick the box "Save A Copy in iWork 5 format"?
Steve
Just found this in Pages Help:
Quote: Backing up the previous version of a document when you save it
Each time you save a document, you can have Pages also save a copy of the document that does not contain your most recent changes.
To back up the previous version of a document when you save it:
Choose Pages > Preferences.
In the General pane, select "Back up previous version when saving."
Pages saves the previous version in the same folder as the latest version with "Backup of" added in front the document's name. If you make more changes to the document and save it again, Pages replaces the old backup file with the new backup file.

Why CS4 freezes when drag clips to time line ?

Hi, I am using CS4 whenI grab and drop all the clips at onece on the time line most of the clips at the end freezes. The clips in the start of the time line plays ok on time line and but when it reaches blank clips, CS4 seems freezes and I have to select CTRL+ALT+DEL to getout which will distroy all data on time line. I am using Dell Precision T7500, 2.4GHz Proc, 12GB DDR3 RAM with ECC, Nvidia Qudro FX 3800 with 1Gb memory, RAID 5 sys with 3 600GB, SAS HDDs(but shows as only one big HDD, ie. 1.09 TB total in C:\ and my data and project/scratch disk data saved in USB connected external HDD. All my OS and Prgrams saved in C:\ drive. I would really appreciate for any advice I can try to get rid of long lasted problem...Ur help is much appreciated. Thx.

You have made a giant mistake in setting up your disks like that. Your currently have:
1. A gigantic 1.09 TB raid5 for OS & program, which is very fast (around 170 MB/s transfer rate) of which you use about 40 GB.
2. A very slow USB drive that is only suitable for backups (around 20 MB/s transfer rate).
What you should do is:
1. Get a new Samsung F4 320 GB disk for OS & proagrams ( around € 30) or better. The F4 gives the best bang-for-the-buck.
2. Use the raid5 for all your other requirements, projects, media, media cache, etc.
3. Use the USB disk for backups and possibly for exports,
You will likely get transfer rates around 120 MB/s for 1, 170 MB/s for 2 and 20 MB/s for 3.
This € 30 investment will increase your performance significantly.
To paraphrase Armstrong: "A small step for man, a giant step for mankind", would tramslate into: "A small investment for you, a giant step in your performance".

I intermittently cannot option+drag shapes, or even drag a copied object. Instead Illustrator will try to enact re-sizing or rotation.

This is so frustrating, having never had this issue in any prior versions of illustrator.
I'm using Illustrator CC, on a Macbook Pro Retina (newest), on OSX 10.10.2 ... using the trackpad for now in lieu of my tablet or mouse (suspecting that this might be the issue).
As I said in the title, very frequently, I'll go to option+drag an object to copy it and instead of it dragging out a new copy, it tries to either rotate or stretch the object instead. This is in every different file I try to work on. I'll try to do it the old fashioned way of cmd+C, cmd+F and then dragging it, but this too seems to run into the same issue. Dragging the newly copied object instead enacts rotation or stretch tools.
I'm sure you can appreciate how maddening this can be if you're accustomed to quickly multiplying lots of little objects on screen.
Thanks!

jomo,
We have had a few similar threads recently, active at the same time:
Re: Illustrator thinks I want to resize an object...

Option dragging to copy regions

I'm finding it really annoying that when I want to option drag a region to copy it, the dialog box that tells it's current location doesn't show up until I start to move the region. It would be helpful to know that before I start moving.

This sounds like you have might have turned on one of the "accessibility' features of OS X..
or...
Did you install something else just prior to this problem occuring? It could well be the cause of the issue if you did so.....

Is there any way to "drag off" a copy of a clip?

Right now, in the timeline, when I want to make a copy of a clip, I highlight it, hit Copy (Command-C), then put the playhead where I want the copy to go, and Paste (Command-V).
All fine, but slow. Isn't there some quicker way to create and move a copy of a clip? If you can drag a copy of a transition from one clip to another by just holding down the Option key and dragging it with the mouse, is there also some way that I don't know about to hold down some key and drag off a copy of a clip? And then just continue dragging the copy to wherever you want it to go, bypassing all that copy/paste stuff?

Option + Click down on the clip and drag. This will make a copy of the clip you can move to a new destination. If you want it to insert at the clips final destination, keep holding the option key and when you release the mouse, other clips will be pushed out of the way.
If you want the clip to overwrite the other clips at the clips final destination, once you start moving the clip, release the Option key. Then when you release the mouse, the clip will overwrite whatever material is at the point in the timeline.

Finder locks after option dragging to copy

The Finder is driving me nuts. I've had various problems with Finder, but the most disturbing one right now is Finder freezing when I copy files by option dragging them to another folder. It usually requires dragging more than one file, but has occurred when copying a single one. The "ghost" of the files I'm moving appears at the cursor, but upon trying to "drop" them into the new folder, the "ghosts" freeze in place and the finder becomes partially responsive. I can move, close and create new folders, but can no longer move or copy any files. I can rename files. The "ghosts" do not move, even when closing the underlying folder or anything else around them. They stay frozen on the monitor screen until I relaunch the Finder. At that point, the files have been appropriately copied to the new folder. This is happening regularly and predictably in both an administrator account and a non-administrator account. I have deleted every preference I can find that might remotely have anything to do with copying. My software is up to date. I installed Totalfinder (which I love, BTW) to see if that would make any difference and it doesn't. This problem, along with Apple's new versioning mandate, has slowed my work style down to a crawl. Any help would be appreciated. If you can solve this, I'll hang a picture of your avatar on my wall and salute it every evening.

I was just suggesting the file copy/paste as a work-around, in case no real solution was forthcoming.
Anyway, I should be able to option drag like I've done for many years, don't you think?
Yes, I do think so too! Have you filed a stern-but-polite complaint to Apple's Feedback page?
Of course, I also think we should be able to NOT have auto-save and we SHOULD have Save As, so obviously I'm just a dinosaur.....
And I too find the revised way the drag 'n drop things work silly at best, and distracting at worst. All the jiggling about nonsense, which appears all thru the interface, is yet one more reason I prefer to do actual work in Snow Leopard. With an older Mac Pro I can boot into whichever OS I want.

How do I turn "option drag a copy" back on

Somehow through some accidental keyboard shortcut, I turned off the ability to option drag an object.
Thanks, Jon

Nobody’s going to check your stats before responding to a question, and nobody’s going to remember you next time you have a question. Post OS and versions EACH TIME you have a question. I encourage people to put at least the version in the post title, e.g.: “CS3: Option drag to copy not working”. This particular post has the benefit of identifying the general OS (Macintosh), although the specific version should be part of the post somewhere.

How can I make a COPY/duplicate of an Event in iPhoto11

I need to make a copy of an 'event' I have in iPhoto on iMac. I want the original event in tacked; I want to remove photos on the COPY.
Thanks - Jose

You can't, really. You could export the photos from iPhoto, then import them as a new event, but that would be pointless.
Why not just export from the Event? It won't remove the photos from iPhoto you know?
File -> Export
This User Tip

I want to make a copy of all my pictures in iPhoto

while working on a photo book my events, 242 of them, all got mixed in just several big events. I have been trying to create new events mostly of our trips but sometimes the event will appear and sometimes not. The event will show but with no pictures. I want to try the iphoto first aid but want to make a backup picture file off site first. Do I copy the masters or original files.

Neither. You back up the whole Library.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

How to make a copy of DefaultStyledDocument Object for RTF text ?

Hi All,
In my application, I need to copy RTF text from Org_Default_Styled_Document to New_Default_Styled_Document (both are independent objects.)
For this I wrote the below method :
public DefaultStyledDocument copyRTFStyledDocument(DefaultStyledDocument Org_Default_Styled_Document)
          DefaultStyledDocument New_Default_Styled_Document = null;
          try
                        // writing RTF byte[] to output stream.
               ByteArrayOutputStream bOData = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
               rtfKitEditor.write(bOData, Org_Default_Styled_Document, 0, Org_Default_Styled_Document.getLength());
                        // reading RTF byte[] from input stream.
               ByteArrayInputStream bIData = new ByteArrayInputStream(bOData.toByteArray());
               New_Default_Styled_Document = new DefaultStyledDocument();
               rtfKitEditor.read(bIData, New_Default_Styled_Document, 0);
          } catch(BadLocationException e)   {
            e.printStackTrace();
          catch(IOException e)        {
            e.printStackTrace();
       return New_Default_Styled_Document;
}I am able to see an extra 'enter' character (i.e, "\n") added to New_Default_Styled_Document.
I tried to figure out the problem by digging API classes like RTFEditorKit.java and RTFGenerator.java, I observed that an extra 'enter' character is adding at the below method of RTFGenerator.java
public void writeRTFTrailer()
    throws IOException
    writeEndgroup();
    writeLineBreak();
public void writeLineBreak()
    throws IOException
    writeRawString("\n");
    afterKeyword = false;
}I used
New_Default_Styled_Document.remove(Org_Default_Styled_Document_Length, 1); to remove the extra 'enter character from New_Default_Styled_Document every time. Its workaround only.
Can any one please help me how to make a new copy / clone of DefaultStyledDocument ? Is there any alternate solution which does not add any extra character when we make a copy of DefaultStyledDocument ?
Its very urgent. I am trying a lot.
Thanks in advance
Satya.

You will need to define an Organization hierarchy.
1. Define your company as a Business Group and define the 3 child companies as Organizations (HR Organizations).
2. Define Organization Hierarchy with 3 child organizations as child of the Business Group. You can further add organizations as childs to those three in the hierarchy.
3. Define 3 security profiles (Security > Profile) marking View Employees / Contingent workers / Applications / Contacts as restricted. Click in the Organization Security tab. Select the option of Secure by Organization hierarchy option. Click in Organization hierarchy and select the one defined in step 2. Click in top Organization and select Company 1 / 2 /3 for each of the Security Profile. Check the box Include Top Organization. Also select the check box Restrict on Individual assignments option. Save the security profile(s).
4. Define 3 HR Responsibilities (e.g. Company 1 HR, Company 2 HR, Company 3 HR). Using system profile HR:Security Profile, attach corresponding security profile to each of the responsibilities. Profile value of HR: Business Group is same for all the responsibilities.
5. Run the Concurrent Program "Security List Maintenance" for each of the security profile.
From now, One responsibility can not view data from another Organization and its child Orgs.

Option-drag selection not working in CS6 layer panel

Thought I'd force myself to use CS6 on a new project. I want to select multiple objects using "Option-drag", in the Layer Panel, but it doesn't work as it does in CS5.
Is there a different shortcut for selecting multiple contiguous objects using the Layer Panel, in CS6? Of course, I mean "Select" not "highlight".
Thanks.

Ok so it has been omitted in CS 6 and I think the reason is is because of the change to the Layers panel function.
That is because you can now rename and object directky with the Layers Panel rather than use the Layer Options.
Whether this wa intentional or by accident I do not know but that is why I think it has been changed.
I would make a feature request to either return it to Option Drag or Or Option Click to select a contigous selection of objects.
I notice that many people use names for their paths on even modest ai files so I would think being able to name the objects and layers are a really important feature but so is the feature you referring to though I think Click-Option Click would be even better on rellly large complex Illustrations.
