A basic operation doubt: in Track View, if I have a clip that starts, for example, in 1:03:123 and I want to duplicate it so it also appears in 1:04:123, or 5:03:123.
What is the easiest way?
I do this all the time. It takes two seconds after you get the idea.
1. Decide what you want to move, copy, delete etc. That means - do you just want a clip or you want to move an entire section of a song? Like copy the whole verse one to insert in as a verse two. If you just want a clip or clips you should think "track" or "tracks" and if you want a whole section you should think "all tracks". Then consider from when to when. For example, copy from 1:04:123 to 5:04:123 ( four measures, but a non clean start time). Meaning in this case you want 4 measures of stuff (a clip or a whole section of the song) to copy to some location elsewhere in the song.
2. Example: you want to copy a portion of a clip from 1:04:123 (end time say 3:04:123, aka just 2 measures of the clip) to a starting point of 5:03:123. So you want to copy 2 measures and put it 4 measures further in the timeline.
3. To do the above:
a. Select the whole clip or the whole track. Make sure it's highlighted as selected.
b. under the Edit menu choose Select By Time.
c. For Start Time put 1:04:123. For End Time put 3:04:123. Click okay. Now you have surgically selected your clip and exactly what you want from the clip.
d. Alt control C. ( Copy Special). This allows you to determine if you want anything more than just the events/audio.
e. Alt control V (Paste Special). This allows you to specify exactly where you want to place the clip and on what track. Enter (for this example) 5:03:123. Voila the copy clip is where you want it!
This explanation took a couple minutes to type, but actually doing it takes 2 seconds - especially after you've done it a couple times.
