Moving and Copying Clips
After you have sorted or sifted clips in a bin, it may be useful to move or
copy them into a new bin. For example, if you sift for all clips with Interview
in the Type column, you can move or copy all the interview clips into a
separate bin so they are easier to locate.

duplicate. Note the distinctions between these methods:

Moving a clip removes it from bin A and places it in bin B.

Copying a clip leaves it in bin A and places a copy of it in bin
B—essentially an identical pointer file that still refers to the same media
file. The clip is a clone of the original clip so that any changes to one
clip are reflected in the other clip.

Duplicating a clip creates a separate copy of a clip that still points to
the same media file. Changes made to a duplicated clip will not be
reflected in the original clip, and vice versa.

sequences.
To move or copy clips and sequences to a new bin:
1. Create a new bin.
2. Give the bin a name that describes the clips it will contain. For exam-
ple, if you move all interviews to a new bin, name the bin Interviews.
3. In the source bin, select the clips that you want to move.
4. Do one of the following:
 Drag the clips to the destination bin to move them.
 Alt+drag (Windows) or Option+drag (Macintosh) the clips to the
destination bin to copy them.
NOTE When you copy
a clip, the media is not
duplicated.
