Copy and Paste issue

Hi folks, I'm trying to copy and paste clips into my timeline on a separate track.  The problem is, that whenever I paste it pushes all my other clips back, or breaks up the clips that are under it including audio. I have to go to the very end, past, then drag back to where I need it. Is there any way for me just to past on a separate track and not effect anything else in my timeliness. 

 

 

Thx

Looks like you are using a paste insert instead of paste, check the edit menu and have a look at the keyboard shortcuts for paste and paste insert:

Lock the tracks you don't want to paste to.

It's not that it's pasting to multiple tracks, it's just cutting into.any track above or below it, and the pushing everything else in my timeline back whatever the length of the clip is.  And it's really annoying to lock like seven tracks each time I need to past something
