Copy and Paste in Premiere Pro

This video will show you two ways to copy and paste clips in your timeline in Premiere Pro.

TL;DR select clips, hit Cmd/Ctrl+C to copy, move time position indicator to where you want to paste the clips then hit Cmd/Ctrl+V. Or, select clips, hold Opt/Alt then click on clips again and drag to where you want them to go. The video explains it a bit better than that though 🙂

Fucking thank you man, I couldn't find a simple answer on Google which irritates me so you are a life saver

[Ziyum]

You know it's a complex program when you need to look up a tutorial just to copy & paste 😫 but thank you so much! You saved me so much time!

[primalphatman]

I feel dumb because I didn't realize that having A1 and V1 were selecting the clips so every time id try and paste something it would cut into the video I was working on. Thank you lmao its a lot better than scrolling all the way to the end of a video and dragging it back

Hallelujah! Thank you Josh, I've been trying to copy and paste a sound effect I sped up for the last hour and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working?!? I had another audio layer highlighted so the 'computer said no'. I've subscribed to your channel. I really must learn premiere pro properly one day rather than just mess about. I need the time-saving edits to happen!!
