COPY TIME


Sometimes when I'm working in the Arrangement view, I wish there was a Copy Time command. I want to be able to click on a clip, then copy everything in that range of time to the clipboard, along the lines of the Duplicate Time and Cut Time commands. Here's the workaround. First, highlight a clip or a range of time in the arrangement:

Then use Loop Selection to move the loop brace to the highlighted range:

Now you can use Select Loop to select everything in the loop brace:

Now you're ready to copy the clips. It's three keyboard shortcuts instead of one, but I still find it to be faster than using the mouse.
