Creating Copies of Source Clips
You can create a copy of any item in the Project panel using the Cut, Copy, Paste, and Duplicate commands. As you can guess by now, creating a copy of a clip doesn't create a new source media file; it only creates another reference to the same file.
To copy and paste clips:
- Select one or more clips (Figure 4.28).
Figure 4.28 Select the clips you want to copy.
-
Do one of the following:
- Choose Edit > Cut.
- Choose Edit > Copy (Figure 4.29).
Figure 4.29 Choose Edit > Copy.
View the destination in the main clip area of the Project panel.
If necessary, open the destination bin.
- Choose Edit > Paste (Figure 4.30).
Figure 4.30 Navigate to a destination in the Project panel, and choose Edit > Paste.
- A duplicate of the clip appears in the selected destination. The clip uses exactly the same name as the original.

Tips
- Select a clip and choose Edit > Duplicate to create a duplicate clip with the word Copy appended to it (Figure 4.31).
Figure 4.31 Selecting a clip and choosing Edit > Duplicate creates a duplicate clip with the word Copy appended to its name.
- Rename a clip by choosing Clip > Rename or Control-click/right-click, and choose Rename in the context menu.
- Find the original name of a renamed clip by Control-clicking/right-clicking the clip and choosing Properties from the menu. In the Properties panel, look at the file path to discover the source media file's name, which is the default name of the clip.
- After you import a file, you shouldn't rename the file on your hard disk. Doing so will ruin your project's reference to the file, and Premiere Pro CS3 won't be able to locate the file the next time you open the project.
