    Copying the Timeline as an editing stage version, that's so cool. I've been saving whole projects as different versions which makes project management feel a bit bloated. Being new to DaVinci and of average intelligence, I almost always screw something up and this looks like a much better system. Great tutorial, thanks.

    Another "trick" I find very useful in making non-destructive changes to a timeline: use one timeline as a media on another timeline. Any edits made on the second timeline will not affect the first one, and any changes on the first one will be immediately visible on the second.

    ​@@mustafakamal8608Create a timeline on which to make the initial edits to the clips, then create another timeline and use the first timeline as the source clip for the second one. You can use in and out points, just like with any other clip. I use this technique to clean up the soundtrack for an entire long recording (e.g. multiple presentations), which is later broken up into separate clips.

    1 more tip? I know it's a detail but personally it confuses me to have timelines start at 01:00:00:00 so in the user settings I believe I changed it to 00:00:00:00 which is more intuitive to me. Very good subjects you chose for this video thanks Alex

    What's even worse is closed captions / subtitles will be output starting from the 01:00:00:00 mark - so captions will not start showing until the 1-hour mark, if your video is even that long. 🤦🏽‍♂️ I caption all my stuff, and I found that out the hard way, and since then I set the timeline setting to always start at 00:00:00:00.

    The tip about the auto track selector was really handy. I was very much confused why ripple delete also removed parts of clips on a different track even though I specifically selected the things i wanted to be deleted. Now that I know about the existenc of that feature, it perfectly makes sense that stuff is affected that I have not selected. E.g. select and remove an empty space between two clips also deleting parts of that length on different tracks.

    That multiple timeline option is just what I needed. I have a video I've been editing that I want to break into separate shorter videos to repurpose some of the content. With multiple timelines I'm guessing I could make the full video edit, and the multiple separated clip videos all on their own timelines and then export each from the project as I need. If that works, that will save a whole lot of time.
