Lift and paste frames

Last updated on Dec 14, 2023

Perform a "lift" edit to remove frames from your sequence and then "paste" them at a different point in the timeline, leaving a gap in their place.

Lifting and pasting can be useful when you want to remove a portion of a clip and place it elsewhere without affecting the overall duration of your sequence.

Before you begin

Import clips and create a sequence. Use the controls in the Program Monitor to specify the sequence’s In and Out points.
