Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Why isn't Avid marketing all over this story?

Why is copy paste better? And of course you can select things that aren't entire clips in the timeline. I should certainly hope so.
I've never been crazy about copy paste because of the patching craziness involved (not to mention that it doesn't seem to honor record side durations). I know I can ultimately get the source tracks I want onto the record tracks I want, but it seems like a lot more work than when you can just see all your tracks on the source side and simply direct them to the right record tracks. Perhaps there's yet another secret handshake workaround here too, but I'm tired of digging for workarounds to get me past FCPs default behaviors, which generally seem to be exactly what I don't want.

And before FCP 4, wasn't it option-overwrite to use sequence content?
But anyways, I always thought the ability to copy & paste from one
sequence to another beats the source-record editing model when it
comes to sequences as sources. Note that when you press G 3 times you
get a tool that lets you select things to copy that don't have to be
entire clips in the timeline.
