Copy-Problem by Premiere 24.4.1

[reali]

Hey! With the new update of Premiere 24.4.1 I have problems with copying clips. I always have to copy the respective clip twice with command + c before it is copied by Premiere. My colleagues have similar experiences. Do you have the same problem and do you know if there is a workaround?

Thank you!

[Carlos Ziade]

did you try resetting the preferences?

Similar problem here! Love the new interface and colors but the copy/paste command not working properly is a problem. The using command+v double helped me for now, thank you, but I hope there will be a less twitchy solution soon.

I tried reseting the copy/paste commands in keyboard shortcut to other commands than command + c/v but this didn't make any difference.

Please describe what ctrl-c you are using. In the project panel, timeline, essential graphics. Thanks.

Hello @reali and @ANT.Rose,

Thanks for filing these reports. I have seen something similar where the UI shows a clip is selected, but the function does not work.

I hope the product team will respond to this alarming issue. I will let them know.

Fling a bug report in the following format would be helpful to the team. See: How do I write a bug report?

I hope the team can solve this for you ASAP.

Thanks,
Kevin

Same here:

Copying a clip from a sequence via ctrl+copy (or cut) and pasting it again in the same or different sequence only works as long as there are no other user actions done in between. 

Copy clip, then e.g. move other clips in the timeline, then pasting the clip into the timeline from memory does not work anymore.

Very inconvenient as this is a super basic and common use case.

@Christian2806487637rg,

Are you running 24.4.1?

I had not seen the "user actions in between" as part of the issue. Great observation.

I am now running 24.5.0 and Beta 24.6.0.37.

I used the intervening action as moving one clip or creating a new text item. Ctrl+C before and Ctrl+V worked in each instance.

I just tried it in the beta 24.6.41 and it worked as expected.

Still an issue in most recent version of 24, as well as 25. Cannot copy and paste from separate sequence of mixed media (footage, titles, nests) with any sort of nested footage on the clipboard.

In my testing, last stable version of Premiere without this issue is 24.2.1

This is current as of January 14, 2025. Will continue to check back as new versions are released. A real shame this keeps getting updated as "solved".

[MyerPj]

I'm missing something, because it still seems to work for me, in PP 25.1 and 25.2.0 b76

I copied a mixed sequence, and pasted to a new sequence. Then I closed the project  opened a new project, created a sequence and pasted. Then I quit the beta, loaded up 25.1 with a new project, created a sequence and pasted, and it still worked?

So what are you seeing, what are you steps to reproduce each time?

[MyerPj]

In case you have different paste KB Shorts than me...

[glybirdy]

Updating that it's working, re-installed and cleared preferences afterwards. Back in business. Had done this on previous versions but not on most recent ones.

[MyerPj]

Cool, well done! 🙂

[glybirdy]

I'm not certain the trigger, but happening again as of today in 25.1

Any other insight? Paste Insert does not want to work if there is anything other than raw media (example, titles or nested sequence) as part of the copying to clipboard.

For reference, cleared all preferences. Did not re-install as my current work is time sensitive.

[MyerPj]

After you finish the time sensitive projects, you can try version 25.2 which was just released. You might check your track targeting, and which paste shortcuts you are using.

[glybirdy]

This is a good tip. Is there a best practices for best shortcuts to use? My track targeting I typically leave at default, V1 to V1, etc

I've also toyed with flipping the "Insert/overwrite as nested sequence or individual clips" to no avail.

[MyerPj]

Here's the paste option available. If I remember right, Adobe changed the default paste option awhile back and added these paste options so you can use them as you think fit. Whatever works for you is best practices for this one! 😉

[MyerPj]

BTW: There are two sets of Paste shortcuts, one is for the Application shortcuts and the other is for Timeline specific, that's the ones we are discussing here, so be sure you change the one you want:
