'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.

      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.
