Moving up from my trusty Avid Xpress Pro to latest Media Composer (only because of Windows XP not supporting a client monitor output in HD).
I want to duplicate an edit but it does not go to the selected bin. It appears in the timeline as a 'copy' - but not in the bin.
???
Lots of kit... only one pair of hands!

Not sure whether you're doing this 'duplicate' in Xpress Pro or MC. In any case, it's possible it's gone into another bin - can't you use the 'find bin' shortcut to find where your duplicate edit has been stored? I think the icon lives on the far left of the bottom row of icons (under the record monitor) by default, but if it's not there you can map it to an unused icon or key from the Command Palette ('Other' tab).
Currently working in MC. The duplicate edit sequence cannot be found in any bin, but appears in the timeline.
When you make a full in-out and all tracks Sub-Sequence, can you drag that Sub Sequence into a new, empty bin?
Did you make new User Settings in MC?
-Telegram!
Mmm... very strange.
Let's just check MC is duplicating other timelines correctly.
If you select a timeline that does exist in one of your bins (there's no need to load it into the timeline) and then either...
Using the menu bar at the top, select 'EDIT' and then 'DUPLICATE'
or...
Use the shortcut combination keys CNTRL + D.
Do you see the copy of the timeline created in the same bin, at the top of the items in that bin?
Aha! For some reason my settings had been replaced by 'user' settings. Now selected 'ROGER' settings and new duplicate edit appears in the bin! THANK YOU!!!
