HOW TO FIX THE COPY PASTE BUG IN RESOLVE 16, 17, 18 and 19

[@curtisrs]

This was driving me insane - thank you so much for a clear and successful fix!

Glad it helped!

This deserves so much more views, it's very helpful, and you can see how much effort went into this. Subbed

[@cinechimp]

Much appreciated!

[@PokeFangOfficial]

OMG thank you! I've been using this software for years and somehow just now encountered this issue. It's 'resolved' now due to your helpful video! Thank you!

[@cinechimp]

Glad it helped!

[@howtocookazombie]

Thank you very much! The "Mark -> Clear In and Out" did it for me. I was really confused by this unintuitive behaviour of the program. Most people expect to paste something exactly there, where the current position is located (like in every other application).

[@cinechimp]

Oh I hear you Stan!

[@LyricalSkyMusic]

Thank you for this comment, that way I don't have to watch the full video! Sorry @EntrNmHre!

[@AleatoriosDoXanti]

You're a king man! I'm here trying to fix this problem for almost two hours with an massive timeline and then your video just solved this bug. A million thanks for you king!

[@cinechimp]

dude - sounds like 2 hours of hell. Gald the video solved the copy paste issue in resolve for you!

[@satamsonic4026]

@@cinechimp When i copy and paste a clip in DaVinci resolve, both the video and the audio get detached. So a little help needed? I don’t want to live with this error forever!!

[@driftatlas]

I did everything, moved the in and out, made it smaller, did it one frame sized...just didn't clear it, lol. Thank you mate, you're a blessing. Can't believe they didn't fix this in 18 version

[@cinechimp]

Glad it helped

[@snowparody]

Thank you so much, I've been stressing over this for the past 30mins until I found your video 😭

[@cinechimp]

Glad I could help fixing the copy paste glitch in resolve - happy editing

[@timothyutton3630]

I know you posted this a couple months ago - but thank you so much for this quick solve! It made such a big difference with my workflow!

[@cinechimp]

Hi Tim , no probs mate - glad it helped you out. Such a silly bug that should have been fixed long ago

[@entrustproperties8395]

You are a life saver, thanks for the tips. Totally crazy that 19 STILL HAS THIS ISSUE!!!!

[@SANDEFF]

*THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!*

[@cinechimp]

Super welcome brother

[@EclecticRenaissanceFrank-yi5mx]

This fixed my different problem. Ctr+V wasn't working, but copying was. I'd have to right click the context menu & select it there. For some reason deselecting the magnet cleared it up, thanks.

[@md_river]

Great! The Clear In and Out worked for me. Thank you so much for this video. I will subscribe immediately and hope to learn so much more from you Sir!

[@cinechimp]

stoked the clear in and out markers helped resolve the issue for you!!

[@ivkozi]

Brilliant! This freaking 'bug' has been pestering me in the past on several different projects. The Clear In and Out setting solved it for me! Great Job! Thank you.

[@cinechimp]

Awesome, glad it helped you out

[@Mr_phil_80]

Video starts at 1:38

[@Reuterli]

Thank you so so much. This misbehavior probably costed a few days of my lifespan. Why DaVinci would just insist on inserting pasted clips onto the In marker is beyond me.

[@cinechimp]

Such a silly thing that still remains unresolved. But no more days wasted!

[@DungeonGD]

This was such a big help omg i would have never solved this XD. Btw im new ish to divici resolve 18 and this was super easy to follow. the second one worked for me btw and ty so much!

[@cinechimp]

Glad it helped!

[@0volts157]

Really impressive fix. Clearing the in and out worked a treat. Thank you, matey. BM should be paying you for customer support.

[@cinechimp]

Glad to help. I do this for the love, not the money. Happy editing

[@youngman44]

Thanks. This was great. The magnetic snapping bug has the same issue in DR 17 as well. Unchecked that and it pastes right where the playhead is. One reason I think this is important is that I often have multiple quotes and want the same frame and set up (Rather than getting a new title from the toolbox and readjusting it). So it's important to be able to quickly copy title/quote boxes, and then paste in the new text into the same, previously formatted text title. Thanks again.

[@cinechimp]

welcome mate

[@MediaArtForm]

I had to wacth like 3 videos before finding the right answer which is your video. After unchecking the magnetic tool and clearing the in and out, it STILL gave me problems so i had to uncheck all the other tracks so it would actually paste where i wanted it cuz it started pasting waaaay down under my track.

[@cinechimp]

3 prior videos - oh darn, I wish our video ranked higher…..but it worked out in the end

[@JeremydePrisco]

You got a thumbs up for the intro alone.

[@JeremydePrisco]

Still a bug in Resolve 18! I fixed it by clearing my in/out points.

[@cinechimp]

Oh thanks mate! Thats appreciated!

[@cinechimp]

And glad the video helped you fix the copy paste bug

[@JimRobinson-colors]

I think more people starting out are more confused with the track selection and which track gets the paste than this one. Also, I have noticed people that I have taught have problems with clearing the in and out because there is nothing selected, so they click the menu to clear and nothing happens. The problem of course is that there are several places on the edit page that can have IN/out and Resolve needs to know which occurrence of it to clear.

[@cinechimp]

exactly

[@JeremiahBostwick]

THANK YOU. I was starting to go through support documents wondering if there was something in the preference pages about "pasting at playhead" or similar not realizing I ran into a bug!

[@cinechimp]

Well, Im just stoked to be able to help - what is your project on?

[@MIRCEA.CEL.BATRAN]

Thank you, this is exactly what i was looking for.

[@cinechimp]

Glad to hear!

[@soccerfiendtv9299]

Big thanks for that! "Insert Clip" was being added to the end of the timeline.

[@cinechimp]

Glad it helped!

[@naturalwayfilms]

You're in here saving whole films! Much appreciated.

[@cinechimp]

Tell that to the haters! Thanks for the positivity.

[@cowboynumber4]

that intro perfectly encaptulates the agony of this bug

Thanks Cowboy

[@michaelakanni8260]

Thank you, fixed like magic...I'm really enjoying editing on Resolve. Thank you for this tutorial

[@cinechimp]

DaVinci Resolve is the best!

[@1Manda1]

You saved me from frustration even tho I understand the in and out points I just didn't notice them, thank you.

[@cinechimp]

happy to help out

[@gigaholicrex]

This was driving me crazy. The solution in your video worked perfectly for me. Thanks for putting this out there

[@cinechimp]

Glad it helped

[@db3xo]

Thank you so much, man! I wanted to start making more KZbin Videos, but it's been getting a huge sturggle doing so. Editing Software is just doing stuff it shouldn't, and you really helped me today! Thanks alot, man!

[@cinechimp]

Oh thanks mate, thats very nice of you. And keep at it. KZbin is a lot harder than what people say.

[@dariosz21]

Started using Davinci Resolve 18, had the same issue, thanks to you I fixed it. Much appreciated!

[@cinechimp]

great

[@ChrisEdi]

Was trying to figure this out for a while! Your video fixed the issue right away! Thank you 👍🤝

[@cinechimp]

Glad it helped champ

[@EvanisDriving]

What a Champion!!!!! This is a golden tip. This will save me so much frustration. So happy to finally have a solution for this issue. Cheers!

[@cinechimp]

awesome glad it fixed the issue for you

[@drumjod]

Thank you so much for this! I'd been putting up with this issue for so long, but the video is over 20 minutes now, so it would be way too impractical to keep dragging clips like I was. Btw: I apologize. It looks like I posted a comment complaining a long time ago because I ended up here for a different issue entirely. I had become incredibly frustrated trying to find answers for this program as I was trying to learn as I went. This was perfect and incredibly helpful. Instand sub!

[@cinechimp]

Glad it helped, thats all that matters

[@IzuAurora]

Omg, this bug has been SO fricking annoying... I've had it for i think over year now and the only way that i found a workaround was to just copy the first clip of the timeline and paste it so davinci pastes it right at the same place but it got rid of the marker bar that was stuck there. Thanks for showing the second tip, worked wonders. Just a little constructive critisism I wanted to say from the start of the video. I would've liked to see at least one shot where you showed what was happening in the program. Now i had to guess if this was a video about the issue i had or skip a lot of the video to get to somewhere in it where you showed what was actually the bug you were dealing with. It's not always crystal clear to me at least what to call these issues i have and programs like davinci have so many bugs that people might call two different bugs the same bc they are similar in nature. So at least one clip of showing the program where the clip you were pasting goes to the front of the project would've been really useful. Also as a content creator you probably want people to watch the whole video and not skip a bunch. Anyways, not meaning to be rude or anything, thought it could be a little tip from the viewer's perspective :)

[@cinechimp]

Hello to you Izu in Finland. No problem at all in the constructive criticism. It was well explained. As you may know, sometimes viewers can be a lot harsher in their comments. I have heard it all. But thank you for explaining, I actually appreciate your input and am glad that you stuck with the video and it sorted out the problem for you.

[@enolp]

thank you!! I had no idea what I did to make the mark in/out thing appear and I didn't know what it was so I honestly wasn't expecting to actually find the solution to my problem. This video was exactly what I needed!

[@cinechimp]

Awesome. Glad to be of service.

[@teenipop6315]

Thank you so much! This was super helpful! For me it wasn't the magnet tool, but clearing the in and out points!

[@cinechimp]

Glad it helped!

[@bim_94]

I’m so happy this video came up straight away - thanks for your help! Now back to the edit

[@cinechimp]

Thats great news!

Thanks - I appreciate your time

Still find the same issue on 17 then I found this video. Thanks man!

[@cinechimp]

Hi Ridwan, stoked this resolved the issue for you!

[@paufernandez_films]

Thanks for this video!! Cleaning in-out points worked for me, even with the mag tool on. The other thing that also worked was to set the in point at the time I wanted to paste the clips. Fun fact, when paste the clips it deleted booth in-out points. Thanks again! :)

[@cinechimp]

Thanks Pau, thats super interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[@fancywords9731]

Awesome tip! It worked. 👏👏👏I have been struggling with this issue for weeks. Thank you so much! 🙏🙏 BTW, cool animations! I'll check your channel to see whether you show how to do some of them!

[@cinechimp]

Hey there super stoked this helped you out! Enjoy the frustration free editing.

[@Boelify]

Wow thank you! I was going crazy over this. Great job explaining that!

[@cinechimp]

Glad it helped!

[@andreamonetti5670]

great!! finally someone that speaks about a big problem!! But now we are at 17.2.1 and this "bug" has not been resolved so I think they want that it works inthis way.....but WHY??????

[@cinechimp]

Such a silly bug

[@TacticalMetalhead]

Thanks dude, massive help. I wish I would have found this sooner.

[@cinechimp]

Well you have found me now! Glad it all helped....

[@stefanthorndahl1666]

this was so useful. Thanks a lot. It is truly an infuriating problem

[@cinechimp]

Great, copy paste bug no more.

[@Icemaz]

Thanks for this. Marked my timeline in by mistake and this was bugging the crap out of me haha.

[@cinechimp]

Very welcome!

[@JamesRattray]

Thank you it worked. Only comment is please go straight to the solutions after once describing the situations it may help. An awful lot of unnecessary preamble to get through before knowing what your solutions are. I say this as constructive feedback as some one who also produces vide0s, it helps me evolve, hope you do too. It worked and thank you.

Finally I found the fix here. Thank You for resolving this as I genuinely thought I might have to do a reinstall!

[@toth1982]

Lollllll, the start of the video is exactly why I have searched for this topic now. I just did exactly the same. And the video itself explained the problem/solution. The magnet was not set for me. In/Out was, but I do not want to clear them at the moment. I will use Alt-drag instead. Thanks anyways. Very useful great video. Is is sad that almost 2 years later this silly bug still exist in Resolve.

[@cinechimp]

So true brother - we shared the pain.....glad its all sorted for you now

[@thegenerousthief]

This was running my lie for a solid half hour !! Thank you amigo, sub well earned !! Cheers.

[@UtpalBhatt]

The "clear in and out" was the solution for me. Thank you so much. I have the latest Resolve 17 Studio.

[@cinechimp]

Awesome mate, what is it that you are finding most difficult about the software?

[@UtpalBhatt]

@@cinechimp it's an awesome software, though there's a steep learning curve. But once you know it, you can edit so much more efficiently. Just these small small niggles. For instance, I couldn't find a shortcut key for muting the player volume.

[@cinechimp]

@@UtpalBhatt That would depend on whether you are on a windows, linux or Mac version of resolve and how you have your speakers setup. (internal / external) using a I/O interface or a USB audio card / hub ???

[@UtpalBhatt]

@@cinechimp I have a MacBook and I usually hear audio through wired headphones

[@cinechimp]

@@UtpalBhatt Yep on a mac there is NO auto volume its full blast, so for each piece of media sometimes you will have to turn the audio down manually. Its a mac thing not a resolve thing

[@ItzZeph]

Big help! Honestly got really scared when this happened.

[@cinechimp]

Super glad the video helped out - And never fear, the cinechimp is here. Sorry for the cheese

No problem!! Glad it helped

[@Art-FX]

It's not a bug. This is the DaVinci copy hierarchy. First, the clip is copied to the IN point (very useful), if the in/out point does not exist, it is copied at the playhead position. This is exactly what you see at 1:58.

[@cinechimp]

Yes this is a bug as it happens with in out points NOT set and is a commonly acknowledged problem, As is the typing titles activating I/O points. Then you would also see that by pasting the footage at that TC that the I/O points are switching ON and OFF due the pasting of media. Its a real pain in the....word I cant say in the comments. If you havent experienced it, lucky you. I wish I hadn't.

[@Art-FX]

@@cinechimp Typing titles activating I/O points? Hmm. This problem actually occurs on Windows where right ALT + o and right ALT + o set Audio IN / OUT, (I use right ALT + o for polish sign), but I have never had this problem on Mac (Catalina system).

[@cinechimp]

@@Art-FX Its been occurring on mac for several OS now. It has nothing to do with Catalina. Oh I wasnt aware that would happen on a PC. Good to know.

[@heeksjim]

Thanks. Any chance you could get to the solve sooner in the video? When someone has a problem they're trying to solve you kinda just wanna get to the solution without as much setup. Hope that's helpful feedback.

[@cinechimp]

You do make a good point, but then I also receive comments and emails thanking me for a full explanation and not being so short. It's a hard balance to find.
