Editing Clips from One Sequence into Another
This section describes how you can edit clips from one sequence into another
sequence. There are a few different methods:
 Edit content from the Viewer using the Canvas Edit Overlay or corresponding
keyboard shortcuts.
 Hold down the Command key while dragging clips directly into the Timeline.
You can drag content from the Browser to the Timeline, or use three-point editing rules.
You can also create split edits from one sequence to another.
Using the Command key results in
individual clips being copied into
the destination sequence.

Fine-Tuning Your Edit
To edit all content from one sequence into another using the Canvas Edit Overlay:
1
Open your destination sequence (where the copied clips will go) in the Timeline, then
set an In point for the incoming clips by doing one of the following:
 Position the playhead in the Timeline.
 Set an In point in the Timeline or Canvas.
2
If necessary, create additional tracks for each track present in the source sequence.
Important:
If you don’t create additional tracks, only clips on V1, A1, and A2 will be
copied from the source sequence.
3
Hold down the Command key, then drag your source sequence (the sequence you
want to copy clips from) from the Browser or the Viewer to the Overwrite or Insert
section of the Canvas Edit overlay.
Set an In point where you
want to place clips from
the source sequence.
The content of the source sequence
is edited into the currently active
sequence in the Timeline.
