Mark a region (the yellow little arrows on both sides of the timeline marker) or select a whole clip. Right Mouse Click - Copy. Put the Timeline marker where you want and the Mouse pointer over the track you want to have the copy pasted to. Right Mouse Click - Paste with the options you want to choose. This works only, if there is still a clip in the track. If not, the pasted clip will be pasted in Track 1. This also works between Projects.

But I have to admit, it seems somewhat crippled, where the clib can be pasted...

Place splits on the clip on track 1 on the portion you want to copy. You can then right mouse click on that portion and select copy. Place the scrubber where you want on the other track and paste.

I insert a video on track one and another on track two. I place the splits on track one and copy..I don't know what the term scrubber means ! I've never heard that before in the context of Power Director editing. Intel Core i7 3770K 3.6 Ghz,

Scrubber is the location on the timeline. It is also known as a cursor. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

Now that I know what a scrubber is !...I have tried several times to but it continues to paste on both tracks..Waht am I not doing correctly ???

Is there a video tutorial I could have a look at ? Intel Core i7 3770K 3.6 Ghz,

Hi kingsmeadow -

Quote: What am I not doing correctly???

After you've copied the part of the clip you want pasted in a different track, are you doing these two things?

1. Place the scrubber/timeline marker at the point you want to paste, &


2. Click on the track where you want it pasted

See the attached screen capture.

Thx for response Tony,

Well that looks exactly what I am trying to do, but it pastes the clip on both tracks 1 and 2 and not 3 in this case. One thing different, is that you use Paste and Overwrite, which is greyed out for me, I only have Paste, Insert and Move All Clips. Could this be the problem ? Intel Core i7 3770K 3.6 Ghz,

Could you post a screenshot of your timelines showing (a) the clip (or part) you want to copy/paste & (b) the track and position you want to paste it?

If you click in Track 3 before pasting it definitely should NOT be pasting in a different track.

Oh I get it - you're copying from two tracks at once. In that case, that's exactly what the rest of us would get.

If you split the clip in T1 and copy it, paste in in T3 - then split the clip in T2 & paste in in T4 at the same point (directly under the other clip you pasted), that should give you the result.

In the screen capture, I was only copying from T1.
