If the destination bin’s display has been set to show reference clips, the referenced object types

do not appear until you save the bin. For more information on setting the bin display, see

“Setting the Bin Display” on page 366.

To copy clips or sequences from one bin to another bin:

1. Position or resize the bins so that you can see both of them at the same time.

2. In the original bin, click the clips or sequences that you want to copy.

3. Press and hold the Alt key (Windows) or Option key (Macintosh) and drag the clips or

sequences to the destination bin, and release the mouse button.

The copies appear in the destination bin, and the originals remain in the source bin. The

system does not add the file name extension .Copy.n to the clip or sequence as it does when

duplicating. If the destination bin’s display was set to show reference clips, the referenced

object types do not appear until you have saved the bin.

Copying Clips and Sequences

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. (For information on duplicating a clip within a

bin, see “Duplicating, Copying, and Moving Clips and Sequences” on page 336.)

When you copy clips from one bin to another, the custom columns that you created in the first

bin are also copied to the second bin. The custom columns appear in the order in which you

created them.

To copy clips or sequences from one bin to another bin:

1. Position or resize the bins so that you can see both of them at the same time.

2. In the original bin, click the clips or sequences that you want to copy.

3. Press and hold the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Command or Option key (Macintosh) and drag

the clips or sequences to the destination bin, and release the mouse button.

The copies appear in the destination bin, and the originals remain in the source bin. The

system does not add the file name extension .Copy.n to the clip or sequence as it does when

duplicating. If the destination bin’s display was set to show reference clips, the referenced

object types do not appear until you have saved the bin.
