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.
To move clips or sequences from one bin into another:
1. Create or open another bin.
Give the bin a name that represents its purpose or contents.
2. Position or resize the original bin and the new bin so that you can see both of them at the
same time.
3. Select the clips or sequences that you want to move.
4. Drag the clips or sequences to the new bin.
