Copy or move clips and projects between events in the same library

You can copy and move clips and projects from one event to another.

For information about copying and moving clips, projects, and events to other libraries, see Copy

or move items between libraries and hard disks on page 432.

Copy or move clips or projects to a dierent event in the same library

1 In the Libraries list, select the event that contains the clips or projects you want to copy.

2 In the Browser, select the clips or projects you want to copy or move.

Note: You cannot select clips and projects at the same time.

3 Do one of the following:

•

To copy the items: Option-drag the items from one event to the other by rst starting to drag

and then holding down the Option key as you drag.

•

To move the items: Drag the items from one event to the other.

The event to which you copy or move the clips may be re-sorted in the library.

Duplicate projects and clips

Duplicating projects and clips is a fundamental technique in your editing workow. For example,

you can simply duplicate a project to work on a new version of it.

Duplicating projects containing compound clips or multicam clips may require the Duplicate

as Snapshot command. The Duplicate as Snapshot command allows you to quickly return to

an earlier version of a project, eectively creating a self-contained backup version that includes

referenced compound clips or multicam “parent” clips. Changes you make to other instances of

the compound clips or multicam clips do not aect the versions in the snapshot, so your project

is protected from accidental changes. For more information about compound clips and multicam

clips, see Compound clips overview on page 269 and Multicam editing overview on page 327.

Duplicate projects and clips

2 In the Browser, select the clips or projects you want to copy.

Note: You cannot select clips and projects at the same time.

3 Choose Edit > Duplicate (or press Command-D).

The duplicate items appear in the Browser next to the originals.

Duplicate projects as snapshots

The Duplicate as Snapshot command creates a self-contained copy of a project containing

compound clips or multicam clips. Specically, duplicating a project as a snapshot makes

copies of the compound or multicam “parent” clips and embeds them in the project so that any

changes to other instances of the clips do not aect the snapshot. For more information, see

Compound clips overview on page 269 and Multicam editing overview on page 327.

1 In the Libraries list, select the event that contains the project you want to duplicate as

a snapshot.

2 In the Browser, select the project you want to copy.

3 Choose Edit > Duplicate Project as Snapshot (or press Shift-Command-D).

The duplicate project appears in the Browser with the word “Snapshot” and the date and time

appended to the project name.
