You may be working with a long source video, such as an hour-long YouTube video, that has lots of great clips within it. If you want to clear multiple time codes from the same source video, you can clone the shot and set a different time code.

Step-by-step instructions for cloning a shot

1. Navigate to your Project's Shot grid, then find the shot you want to clone. Click the shot to open the large modal view.

2. On the righthand side, find the section labeled "Project," where the name of your project is displayed. Click the "..." menu to open the menu.

3. When the menu opens, click the item called "Clone shot".

4. A confirmation message will display at the top of the page when the shot is cloned. Click the underlined text to go to the cloned shot. You will also see the cloned shot in your Project Shots page, at the top of the page (after any selects).
