1 Select one or more clips to edit into the Timeline in the Media Pool. If there are In and Out points set on the clip, the edit will respect those boundaries. If no In/Out points are set, each selected clip’s full duration will be edited in its entirety.
2 Set a destination control to determine which track in the Timeline you want to edit to.
3 Right-click one of the selected clips and choose “Insert Selected Clips to Timeline Using Timecode” from the drop-down menu.
4 All of the selected clips will be overwritten into the Timeline at their appropriate timecode locations onto the destination track.
IMPORTANT: If multiple selected clips have overlapping timecode, no edit will occur.

Insert Selected Clips to Timeline With Handles
This command inserts multiple clips into the Timeline serially, using the current sort order of the Media Pool, with handles subtracted from the current In and Out points of each clip (using the Default Handles Length in the Editing panel of the User Preferences). Combined with the Add Transition tool (Command-T), this function is useful when quickly creating montages from multiple clips.
1 Select the clips to insert into the Timeline with handles in the Media Pool.
TIP: To finish creating the montage, select the clips in the Timeline, then choose “Add Transition” (Command-T) from the Timeline menu. This will apply the default transition to all of the clips at once.

Audio Track Creation While Editing
When dragging an audio clip to the undefined gray area of the Timeline below currently existing audio tracks in order to create a new track, the new track is set to a channel mapping that reflects the number of channels of the audio clip you’re dragging.
This also means that if you’ve used Clip Attributes to map a clip’s audio to consist of multiple tracks where each track has a different channel mapping, for example, one 5.1 track, one stereo track, and six mono tracks, then editing that clip into the Timeline so that the audio portion creates new tracks will automatically create eight tracks: one that’s 5.1, one that’s stereo, and six that are mono.
