keyboard shortcut : CTRL + V (CMD + V for Mac users).
Copy dragging:
• Select one or more clips.
• Hold down the
CTRL key (CMD for Mac users).
• Hold the left mouse button down over the title-bar of one of the clips. Be careful to click on area
of the title-bar that is not a tool icon.
• Drag the clip(s) to a new location. Note how the clip(s) you are dragging are copies of the select
-
ed clip(s). This happens because you are holding down the CTRL (CMD) modier key. Dragging
clips without holding down this key will perform a standard move operation.
