86
To select multiple clips or sequences in a bin, do one of the following:
t Ctrl+click (Windows) or Cmd+click (Macintosh) clips to add them to your selection.
t Select a clip, and then Shift+click another clip to select a range of items. If you then
Shift+click another clip, the range covers all clips from the one you originally selected
to the new clip. In Frame view, the range of items includes all clips within a rectangular
region bounded by the first and last clips selected.
t Lasso several items. Click the mouse pointer outside the first item and drag it to
surround the items with a white dotted line.
n
Selecting a single item deselects any other selections.
To reverse your selection:
t Select Bin > Reverse Selection.
The items that you previously selected are deselected, and those items that were
previously deselected are selected.
Duplicating, Copying, and Moving Clips and Sequences
When you duplicate a clip or sequence, your Avid editing application creates a separate clip
linked to the same media files. You can move, rename, and manipulate this clip without
affecting the original clip.
When you copy clips, you are cloning the same clip in another bin. Any change you make to
the copy affects the original clip. You cannot copy clips to the same bin, and you cannot
return a clip copy to the same bin where the original resides.
When you copy clips from one bin to another, the custom columns that you create in the first
bin are also copied to the second bin. The custom columns appear in the order in which you
created them.
To duplicate clips or sequences:
1. Select the clip or sequence that you want to duplicate, or select multiple clips or
sequences.
2. Select Edit > Duplicate.
A copy of the clip or sequence appears in the bin, with the original clip or sequence
name followed by the file name extension .Copy.n, where n is the number of duplicates
created from the original clip or sequence.
c
Deleting media files for the duplicate clip or sequence also deletes the media files for
the original clip or sequence.
