How paste clip NOT into primary storyline?

I see fcpX has no tracks you can select...so how do I NOT paste (overwrite) onto the primary which pushes a lot of clips out of place? Thanks!

Hi


Paste as connected clip, cant remember the short cut but go to the edit menu and its there.

I'm not 100% sure I understand your question, but:

E - Will append the clip to the end of your timeline
W - Will insert the clip at the playhead (and slide the rest of the clips to the right).

If you want to insert a clip and replace those under it at same time, you need to do that as two steps:

1. Q - Will place the clip at the playhead and above the main storyline.
2. Right Click this clip and select - overwrite to primary storyline.

I hope that helps.

thanks! I love this forum, the fastest responses anywhere!

that's a great one also!
