416 Part III Fine-Tuning Your Edit
 To do an overwrite edit, drag the clips where you want them to appear in the other
sequence, positioning the pointer in the lower part of the track (the pointer looks like
a down arrow).
5 Release the mouse button.
The selected clips from the first sequence are copied into the second sequence.
To copy clips from one sequence to another using the Copy and Paste commands:
1 Open the sequence that contains the clip or clips you want to copy.
2 In the Timeline, select one or more clips, then choose Edit > Copy (or press Command-C).
3 Open the sequence into which you want to copy the clips.
4 Make sure the Auto Select controls are enabled for the tracks you want to paste the
clips into.
For more information, see “ Using Auto Select to Specify Tracks for Selections ” on page 191.
If all or none of the tracks have Auto Select enabled, the clips are placed on V1, A1, and
so on (depending on how many audio clip items are pasted).
