[Avid-L2] Alt + segment copy but no snap?

 

Hi Paul,
 
Can you clarify what you mean? It may be my own ignorance and I am on a mac but the only way I know to copy a clip that is already in the timeline is to select it and copy (command c) and paste (command v) or what I do more often, mark the clips I am interested in and use Option+Command+C which loads a copy of the clips into the source monitor.
 
I believe in FCP there was a cool way of just duplicating by highlighting a clip in the timeline and holding down a combination of buttons but I don't think that exists in Avid. Am I wrong?
 
Or are you talking about dragging from a bin?

So am I correct in thinking that though I can alt drag a clip in segment
mode to copy it in the timeline, I can't snap it to the playhead/in
point/clip end etc whilst doing that? If I engage ctrl (PC) whilst
copy-dragging it stops it copying.

Be a shame if so as it makes the function only useful for FCP style
"chuck clips in the general direction of the timeline" editing.
