How to Cut, Copy and Paste in the Timeline?
As in other applications, in MovieMator you can Copy/Cut and Paste objects. Copying leaves a clip in place and copies it to the Clipboard for later pasting. Cutting removes a clip from its original place but copies it to the Clipboard for pasting.
When you paste an object, it’s placed at the position of the playhead. Clips with applied filters and effects retain those effects when cut, copied, and pasted.
To copy/cut and paste the clip within the same Timeline tracks
1. Select the target clip in the Timeline.
2. Do one of the following, depending on what you want:
• Copy the clip by right-clicking it and choosing “Copy” or pressing Command-C.
• Cut the clip by right-clicking it and choosing “Cut” or pressing Command-X.
3. Position the playhead where you want the paste to occur.
4. Paste the clip at the playhead location by pressing Command-V.
