Using Multiple Copies of a Clip
You can use a clip multiple times in the same stream or you can drag the clip to other
streams.
To copy a clip within a stream
µ
Option-click the clip and drag it to an empty location in the stream.
You can treat the clip’s copy the same as any other clip in the stream.
To copy a clip to a different stream
Do one of the following:
µ
Option-drag the clip to the stream that you want to copy it to. You can position it as
needed.
µ
Shift-Option-drag the clip to the stream that you want to copy it to. The clip is constrained
to use the same start time as the original.
The original clip is not affected, and remains in its location.

Creating and Editing Tracks
Copies of the original clip take up as much disc space as the original clip. If the size of
your project is an issue, you may want to simply reuse the original clip by setting markers
and creating scripts to access the clip from another project element.
