'Copy in to out' possible?

Prompted because of need to copy/paste bits of room tone within an interview, amongst other reasons...

In Avid I can use 'alt' & copy to copy material between in & out points, obeying track selection, from the timeline to the source monitor.

I think FCP7 I could 'select in to out' and then copy would obey auto-select and in-out. (It also had a GREAT range selection tool).

in PPro I find that I keep having to use add-edits/blade tool to copy just a section.

Anyone have tips/tricks to get round this?

If I'm understanding what you want to do correctly:

1. Set In / Out points in the timeline (I/O) to specify the area you want to copy.

2. Target the tracks you want to copy (3rd icon column from the from the left in the timeline) . If you just want audio target 'A1' or whatever audio track you're dealing with only - don't target a video track if you don't want video. The audio portion you want to copy should now be highlighted.

3. standard copy should now be available - copy to clipboard.

4. position playhead in the timeline where you want to paste

5. target the audio track you want to paste into with the same icons as step 2.

6. Paste.

Adobe Intefaces are falling behind. The weird thing is that this fuction WORKS if you go to edit>copy in the top menu, but if you use the keyboard shortcut (comand c) it does not work. BUG

Can't edit previous comment (and fix spelling errror). It's still dumb, but changing the window focus from the Timeline to the Program Window, allows the Command-C Key command to copy the marked in/out area.

Why wouldn't a user want it to work in the timeline? I have no idea. Still seems like a bug to me.

I had success copying in to out points and then I am having problems where the whole timeline is copying and I don't know why?

I have only the icons highlighted for the tracks I want to copy with material in the track but I can not always get the in to out section.

What can I do different?

I figured it out. If you do your mark in and out and then click on the track highlighting all of it you will copy the entire track.
You have to click off the track somewhere and only the part of the track that has mark in and out will be highlighted. Then it will copy just that.

If it helps.

I find room tone (or ambience, street fx, silence or whatever) from a clip in the Source Monitor and insert/ overlay from I & O's I set there.
