How can you type some text and then insert the contents of the clipboard. I tried kbrd_input "<some text>" and then kbrd_press 'V' 100 and that inputs the <some text> but doesn't complete the line

Hi there: Hope somebody can help with what I thought would be an easy task. Sorry in advance if I am overlooking something obvious; as the method I am trying worked with other Video Editing Software. I have a paid version of Video Pad Professional. Let us say I have a 5 minute music video and I want to copy or cut a piece of it to a new file. I split the file (for example between the 2 minute and 4 minute mark). I then right click over the split section and choose copy. I then go to New File and attempt to past but the option is greyed out and will not let me put it on the storyboard either with a right click or Control V. Thank you for your help, CF

Has anyone experienced this maddening glitch?!? With the demo version of Express Scribe on my Mac (El Capitan, latest ver of Express Scribe). I use a Hot Key to copy the time code and then CMD-V to paste into document. No matter what app I paste into (Text Edit, Word, Scrivener) it *seems* to work fine (the time code is pasted and I type the text after the time code. However, after saving, quitting the app, then re-opening, the time codes remain but all of my transcription is GONE! I've come up with a workaround using a macro program (Keyboard Maestro) to paste the current clipboard as text, but without that workaround, there must be some code that is embedded that is causing trouble. In fact, in Word 14.6.7, this causes Word to crash without warning. I've tried "Paste & Match Style" in Scrivener and that doesn't work. I've also tried transcribing into the note field for Express Scribe and when I copy and paste into another application, the transcription is gone. If I "Paste & Match Style", it appears fine in the other application, but when I save, quit and re-open, the transcription is gone. I also tried the Mac shortcut - CMD-OPT-SHIFT-V and that didn't help. I realize this sounds CRAZY because how could it delete the text that has been typed, but not the numbers (time code) that is interspersed with that text (transcription)?!? But it does... Has anyone experienced this? Did you figure out how to fix it?? Thanks!
