Lifting, Extracting, and Copying Material

604

The Clipboard lets you restore lifted or extracted segments quickly. This is useful if you have

performed one or more edits since removing the material. In contrast, if you use the Undo

function to restore the material, your Avid editing application also undoes all edits performed in

the meantime.

Material in the Clipboard does not appear as a clip in the bin and is deleted when you close the

project. To save a portion of a sequence for future use, mark the section and create a subclip.

To place a marked section of the sequence into the Clipboard at any time:

t Click the Lift, Extract, or Copy to Clipboard buttons.

Left to right: Lift, Extract, and Copy to Clipboard buttons

To keep the Clipboard contents throughout a session, do one of the following:

t Click the Clip Name menu above the Source monitor, and select Clipboard Contents.

The contents appear as a clip in the Source monitor, and the name “Clipboard Contents.n”

appears above the monitor and in the Clip Name menu. The n is an incremental numbering

of clips placed in the Clipboard during the session.

t Press Alt key (Windows) or Option key (Macintosh) when you copy, lift, or extract the

material. The contents appear as a clip in the Source monitor, and the name “Sequence

name.Sub” appears above the monitor and in the Clip Name menu.

To restore material from the Clipboard:

1. Load the Clipboard contents by doing one of the following:

t Click the Clip Name menu above the Source monitor, and select Clipboard Contents to

place the Clipboard contents into the Source monitor and add the clip name to the Clip

Name menu.

t Click the Clipboard Contents button in the Edit tab of the Command Palette.

t Open the Clipboard as a pop-up monitor by selecting Tools > Clipboard Monitor.

select specific tracks.

indicator here, or mark an In point.
