Copy/cut clip from Timeline to Playlist

Help/How To
1

How can I copy or cut a clip from the Timeline and move it to the Playlist?

2

Select the clip you want from the timeline with your mouse so that it’s highlighted then go to the Playlist menu and right under it you will see “+” and “-” icons just like the ones you see above the Timeline. Click the + button that is right under the Playlist menu and it will add the clip from the Timeline to the Playlist. :slight_smile:

That has never worked for me. For instance, right now when I try a box pops up to Set Duration and if I click it a new item marked is added to the Playlist.
Using v 18.07.02.

That’s the “Properties” button not the “+” that is in the Playlist menu. Hit Playlist and right under it you will see the + button.

Shotcut has since been updated to v18.08.14

Thanks, but I know the difference bw Properties and Playlist. I was definitely pressing the + on the Playlist.

Before pressing the + be sure, that the clip from the timeline has been opened in the source window.

Select the clip on the timeline. Press C or CTRL C to copy or CTRL X to cut. Click the source tab, the clip will be copied to the source viewer. Then press the “+” to add the clip to the playlist.

Sorry. I forgot that after you highlight the clip, you need to either right click and select “Copy” or right click and select “Cut” then you click the + button that is right under the Playlist menu and it will add the clip from the Timeline to the Playlist. :slight_smile:
