You can copy and paste (i.e. duplicate) videos and other media items on the timeline. See below for instructions. You can also make copies of an entire video project, see can I save different versions of my project?
How to duplicate an item on the timeline
-
On the timeline, right-click on the asset you would like to duplicate. This will highlight the asset and open the options menu.

Next, click on the duplicate option from the menu. Alternatively, you can also press control + D (Windows) or command + D (Mac) on your keyboard to duplicate the selected item. Duplicating a timeline asset will copy and paste the media directly to the right of the existing item on the timeline. Duplicates will include any edits (e.g., trims, cuts, or filters) you've applied to the original asset.
Another option is to copy and paste the clip by right-clicking on the asset on the timeline then clicking on the copy option from the menu. You can then paste the clip by right-clicking on the timeline and clicking on the paste option from the menu.
Alternatively, you can press control + C (Windows) or command + C (Mac) and control + V (Windows) or command + V (Mac) on your keyboard. When using this method, the clip will paste where you select on the timeline and won't automatically paste right next to your existing item.
