Steve is correct - I'm talking about the mouse based timeline segment
dragging. The alt-c (or just c as I've had alt mapped to my c key since
1998!) clipboard method is the one I use most of the time but sometimes
I'm tidying up a timeline (I do a lot of online) so I'm just moving
clips vertically up and down tracks or sorting captions.
Example from the other day is a sequence being prepped to go through to
Baselight for a grade. I make a timeline with everything the colourist
needs simplified on V1 moving all effects, gfx etc up to a higher track
ready for when the grade comes back to me. The EOP/BOP bumpers are full
screen graphics which I want to have up on V6 so I know where they are
but I also want the colourist to have them rather than a black screen.
So I want to copy the bumper clip from V1 up to V6 rather than moving
it. Alt+segment drag is fractionally quicker for me than the alt-c
method in this case (and a little more intuitive when I'm working with
the timeline without worrying about the editorial context of the clips)
but if I can't snap the clip to vertical movement only then it doesn't
really help. Same goes for duping a caption over to an in point I've set
later in the cut for a quick template workflow.
Seems Avid could add a new modifier combo which enables copy and snap
but I wanted to check there wasn't one already that I hadn't found!
Thanks for the answers guys :)
