Move clips between timelines

Just wondering what the easiest way to move clips between two timelines would be. I use both Resolve and Premiere, and I got used to opening two timelines in separate panels in premiere, and then I can just drag from one to the next, and it automatically copies it over. I greatly prefer it to the copy paste method, because I have easier control over what track it lands on, and it's instant, so I can continually move several b roll clips to multiple spots in my timeline very quickly.

I know I shouldn't expect Resolve to behave like premiere, just wondering if there's anything easier than copying from one timeline, switching to another, clicking the correct track, and pasting. Then doing it again for every clip and location. Those extra seconds add up pretty quickly.

Thank you

Same. Turn on stacked timelines, load source and target timelines appropriately and drag over.

I'm sorry, but could you explain how you use the stacked timelines a bit more in depth? I've been playing with them for over an hour, and looking up whatever tutorials I can find and can't figure out a way to drag over the way you described.

Nevermind, I finally figured it out. When you're in stacked timeline, there is a small plus button at the top right of your timeline viewer that allows you to do what I've been trying to do this whole time. I appreciate the response, it led me to the answer. Thank you.
