• Control-click the clip or clips you’ve selected in the Timeline, then choose Paste

Attributes from the shortcut menu.

In the Paste Attributes dialog, select the attributes you want to apply to the selected clip
or clips.

If a clip you’re pasting the attributes into is longer than the clip you copied them from,
you may also want to select the Scale Attribute Times checkbox to proportionally position
all keyframes that you copied to fit the longer clip.

Removing Attributes from a Clip

If you ever want to remove particular attributes from a clip, such as motion parameter
settings, filters, and so on, you can remove the attributes by using the Remove Attributes
command. This is a convenient way to clear a lot of keyframes or filters at once.

To remove attributes from a clip

1

In the Timeline, select one or more clips whose attributes you want to remove.

2

Choose Edit > Remove Attributes.

3

In the Remove Attributes dialog, select the checkbox next to each attribute you want to
remove, then click OK.

Checkboxes are available
for all attributes that the
selected clip has applied
to it.

Reapplying the Most Recently Used Effect

Final Cut Pro remembers the last effect you applied so that you can immediately apply
it again elsewhere in your sequence. If you are applying the same video filter, transition,
or motion favorite over and over again, this can save you a lot of time.

Final Cut Pro remembers both the last effect of any category (video filter, transition, or
motion favorite), as well as the last effect within each category.

To apply the most recently used effect

µ

Choose Effects > Last - [Name of Effect].

To apply the most recently used video filter
