How can I copy event elements without losing them on Mac mini?

have an Event where often used elements are parked.

when I try to copy a bug or logo from that event to a current project, instead of copying, it moves it to the project.

Now the bug is no longer in storage.

How can bugs or others stills be stored for project availability without removing them from storage folder or event? Or what is the method to do so?

Hi,


That will happen when you drag a clip from an event into the Project Media screen. The result is that the clip actually gets moved, not copied. However, when I click on an Event's title in a project's sidebar, the Event's contents are revealed in the browser screen to the left of the preview screen. When I drag a clip from the Event's browser screen to the project timeline, not the Project Media view, the clip does not get removed from the Event browser screen. The clip only copies to the project timeline. A copy will also appear in the Project Media browser screen as well, but the original still remains in the Event's folder.
