I love the function to Place a clip on top. It would also be very useful to be able to cut or copy a clip from the timeline then Paste it on top. Seems at the moment you can only do that by loading it back up into the viewer first (which really isn't a copy of the clip since filters and sizing won't be retained) or by changing the auto track selector.

Thanks for considering.

In the edit timeline, you can press Alt/Option and move a clip selection to make a copy and place it as you see fit.

hello
I use Copy and Paste in the timeline because source (copy) and destination (paste) are far away. Moving in those conditions is not relevant.

You can make use of the Auto Track Selector (the |<>| button in the track header).
Copy your clip, alt/option-click on the Auto Track Selector in the track you want to move your clip to, paste.. done.

This, of course, will botch up your previous Auto Track selection
Would be nice if Resolve would "remember" the Auto Track selection in this case.
