Quck question -- add clips from another timeline w/shift?
Posted: Tue Apr 29, 2025 4:25 pmI have an "easy/quick" question that I haven't been able to figure out a method to do.
SCENARIO: I used Source Tape to go through a whole bunch of clips and add a bunch of "good ones" to a timeline. I now want to merge that timeline-set of clips carefully into another timeline that's already been edited.
ISSUE: I can't figure out an easy way to "copy" a clip from "source timeline" and paste into target-timeline in a way that doesn't OVERWRITE the clips that are already there.
The thing I want is "paste the clip on the clipboard like an INSERT-- shift everything over". is this possible?
What doesn't work:
- normal paste
- paste with modifier key (eg. shift-ctl-c, alt-ctl-c)
- change edit modes hoping that the paste will have different behavior
- using the 'insert clip' function
etc.
Anyone have a quick idea for how to do this?
thanks!
