Copy Filter Controls
The Copy Filter controls give you an easy way to copy the Color Corrector filter and
filter settings into other clips in your sequence.
 Copy From 2nd Clip Back: Copies the settings from the Color Corrector filter that’s
applied two clips behind the currently selected clip, and pastes those settings into
the current Color Corrector filter. The new values replace any values or keyframes that
were already applied in the current filter.
If the filter being copied from is keyframed, the values from the last keyframe are
applied to the current clip. If the second clip behind the currently selected one has
no Color Corrector filter, this control is dimmed.
 Copy From 1st Clip Back: Copies the settings from the Color Corrector filter that’s
applied to the clip immediately behind the currently selected clip, and pastes those
settings into the current Color Corrector filter. The new values replace any values or
keyframes that were already applied in the current filter.
If the filter being copied from is keyframed, the values from the last keyframe are
applied to the current clip. If the first clip behind the currently selected one has no
Color Corrector filter, this control is dimmed.
 Drag Filter: Allows you to drag a copy of the current Color Corrector filter, with all of
its settings, and drop it onto another clip in your sequence. Click this button, then
drag the filter to another clip.
 Copy To 1st Clip Forward: Copies the settings of the current Color Corrector filter into
the next clip in your sequence. If the current Color Corrector filter is keyframed, the
values from the last keyframe are copied. If there is no Color Corrector filter in the
next clip, one is applied automatically.
 Copy To 2nd Clip Forward: Copies the settings of the current Color Corrector filter into
the second clip forward in your sequence. If the current Color Corrector filter is
keyframed, the values from the last keyframe are copied. If there is no Color Corrector
filter in the second clip forward, one is applied automatically.
The Copy Filter functions are also available using menu commands and keyboard
shortcuts. For additional information about using these controls, see the next section.
