How do I copy paste clip on second level of project timeline? was created by Cotton

How do I copy paste a clip on second level of a project timeline without it interrupting the main sequence? See screenshot for more info. In this screenshot, I would like for the capitol building to be placed above the clip that it interrupted. Is there a way to do this using keyboard or is it a mouse-only operation? Thanks!

Yeah, just lift it straight up, out of the Primary Storyline, and it becomes a connected clip. But the space it used to occupy will close up, doing a ripple lift edit.

if you want to leave a gap clip in it's place (not sure why you'd do that), Option-Command-up arrow key will take care of that.

If you're starting from scratch, from the Browser, Q makes it a connected clip.

And as stated previously, if you cut or copy a clip in the Timeline, Option-V pastes it as a connected clip.
