Copy multiple clips?

[georgepeter]

This is probably easy, just can't find the answer.

If I have clips, say on FX 1-5 and I want to copy and paste all at the same time for use elsewhere, how is this done? If I highlight all clip and chose copy, I am only able to copy one of the clips, not all five.

Is there a way to do what I am asking?

Thanks!

Object grabber and Relative grid mode is a fast way. Drag across the clips (they'll be outlined/framed to show that they're selected), and Option+click'n'drag a copy. I use Relative grid mode with 1 bar resolution all the time, but this is probably most suited for music.

Thanks - this works. Wish I could do a cut and paste but can't have everything. I am sure there is a logic behind this that will strike me sometime in the future.

Thanks again!

You can cut and paste but you need to highlight/select all your destination tracks. At the moment it seems you're choosing just one destination track - shift click some more destination tracks and they should pop up.

You can select the clips, and just drag them wherever you want. Or, cut them, press = (equal), and type in the paste location. You can also click on a marker to paste it in there. Clicking on a marker will maintain the track selection.

Thanks a bunch. Both suggestions are what I was looking for.

Make a region group out of the clips, then copy them, then select the tracks to be copied to and where on the timeline and paste as usual.
