Cutting and pasting clips

1

Position the playhead at the start of the

01_A380_TAXI

clip in the timeline.

2

Press the spacebar to play to the end of the timeline
DaVinci Resolve has some useful cut/copy/paste operations that work on clips you’ve
selected in the timeline. They can be very helpful when moving clips from one end of
the timeline to the other, such as the two A380 jets clips you have at the end of this
timeline.

3

In the timeline, click the

01_A380_TAXi

clip to select it, and then Cmd-click (macOS)

or Ctrl-click (Windows) the

02_A380_TAKE_OFF

clip to select both clips.

To remove the clips from their current locations with the intent to relocate them,
you can cut them from the timeline.

4

Choose Edit > Ripple Cut, or press Cmd-Shift-X (macOS) or Ctrl-Shift-X (Windows).

The ripple cut extracts the clips from the timeline, and closes up the gap. Unlike a
ripple delete, the clips are kept in memory ready to be pasted into another location.
