Cutting, Copying, and Pasting
To provide you with an alternative method of removing or duplicating edits, Sequences allow you to cut, copy, and paste existing segments in the Sequence Timeline. When you cut or copy a segment, information related to markers and audio gain is also captured.
When you cut or copy a segment in the Sequence Timeline, the information is held as temporary data on your location workstation. If you make a cut from the Sequence Timeline and later cut or copy data from either MediaCentral Cloud UX or any external application, the data in the temporary space is overwritten.
To cut a segment or track in the Sequence Timeline:
1. Click a segment in the Sequence Timeline to select it.
You can also Shift+click or Ctrl+click additional segments to expand your selection.
2. Do one of the following to cut your selection from the Sequence:
*Press Ctrl+X to perform a Lift edit.
The selection is removed from the timeline and the length of the sequence is unchanged.
*Press Shift+Ctrl+X to perform an Extract edit.
The selection is removed from the timeline and all following edits on the same tracks are shifted by the same amount of time.
To copy a segment or track in the Sequence Timeline:

To paste a segment or track in the Sequence Timeline:
