Copy, Cut, and Paste
Clips can be cut, copied, and pasted in the timeline or Upper Timeline to duplicate them or
move them around, just like words in a word processor.
To cut/copy and paste in the Timeline:
1 Select one or more clips in the Timeline.
2 Do one of the following:
a. Press Command-C to copy them (the selected clips remain where they are).
b. Press Command-X to cut them (the selected clips are removed and the Timeline
automatically ripples itself to close the gap).
c. Move to another part of the Timeline, then press Command-V to paste the clips.
The clips are pasted to the frame at the playhead, to the same track they were
copied from, and overwrite whatever other clips are at that part of the Timeline.
Splitting Clips
You can split any clip into two pieces, effectively adding an edit point in the middle, in
preparation for moving part of a clip, deleting part of a clip, inserting another clip at that edit
point, or adding an effect of some kind to one part of a clip but not another.
To split a clip:
1 Move the playhead to the frame of a clip where you want to split it.
2 Do one of the following:
Right-click the clip and choose Split from the contextual menu.
Right-click the top handle of the playhead and click the Split button that
appears on the radial menu.
Press Command-Backslash.
Press the Split Clips (scissor) icon on the far left of the Cut page Edit commands.
