Copy or move clips between Events
You can copy and move clips from one Event to another. When you copy a clip from
one Event to another, its source media les are duplicated on disk. When you move a
clip from one Event to another, its source media les are moved from one Event folder
to the other on disk.
Copy clips from one Event to another
1 In the Event Library, select the Event that contains the clips you want to copy.
2 In the Event Browser, select the clip or clips you want to copy.
3 Do one of the following:
 If both Events are on the same hard disk: Option-drag the clips from one Event to
the other.
 If the Events are on separate hard disks: Drag the clips from one Event to the other.
Move clips from one Event to another
1 In the Event Library, select the Event that contains the clips you want to move.

3 Do one of the following:
 If both Events are on the same hard disk: Drag the clips from one Event to the other.
 If the Events are on separate hard disks: Command-drag the clips from one Event to

The Event to which you copy or move the clips may be re-sorted in the Event Library. It
will be listed below the year in which its most recent clip was recorded.
If you copy or move a large clip from an Event stored on one hard disk to an Event
stored on another, the move may take a few minutes as the source media les are
copied or moved from disk to disk.
