What are you working on with these dups
Hey Peter

there is a multitude of needs for duped timelines.
In the Editorial stage they can be:
1. A way to keep versions of your work up-to-a-point without having to relay on auto-save or full project exports. Its common for an editor to duplicate the timeline at the end (or even middle) of the shift and add a date/version number to the name.
2. A way to branch out an edit. when building a story, whether narrative or non, it is common to rethink your way and test an alternative approach.
3. A general mean of organization with different bins that may need to contain same timelines
4. A way to split a timeline to 2 or 3 "thinner" ones containing only B-roll, Graphics, Different source FPS and such for different needs...
5. Etc'
In the On-Line/Color stage and especially in Broadcast work there are also many uses to duplicate timelines
especially to divide different stages of my work
Even when I teach Resolve I find myself going to that sub-menu option far too often.
Would definitely be very useful to have a programmable shortcut.
