    Tip of the Day!

    Final Cut Pro – The Fastest Way to Duplicate a Clip


    Here’s a quick mouse shortcut that quickly duplicates a clip in the Timeline.

    Tip Jar

    Need to make a fast copy of a clip, but don’t want it to shift position?

    Press Shift+Option and drag the clip up or down.

    Option makes a duplicate of the clip.

    Shift constrains the clip so it only moves up or down.

    This only works with an audio or video clip, not with a linked audio and video clip.

    To select just the audio or video side of a linked clip, press the Option key.
