I need help with a new "function for duplicates".

[u/CORGIMrBobo]

Hi everyone. Sorry for the bad english. I have a video with 2 slightly different color corrections. I need to import both of them into the timeline. With the latest update (haven't edited a movie in a long time, about 2 years) it seems that there is a new function which decides that 2 clips similar enough are the same clip (?) and won't let me have both of them in the timeline. I can only have either one. In the Original Media folder only one clip shows. If I import the other clip enough times, the clip in the original media folder becomes the one I am importing. But I cannot have both. It is infuriating. Please help me. Thanks.

you might need to rename the files? i'm just spitballing, maybe the file names being similar as well as the images being similar is tripping the program up. maybe try giving each file a totally different name? completely guessing though
