About the Paste Attributes Dialog

You select which attributes to paste by using the Paste Attributes dialog.

The following options are available in the Paste Attributes dialog:

 Scale Attribute Times: Relatively repositions the keyframes of the copied clip’s

attributes to fit the duration of longer or shorter clips you paste them into. For
example, suppose you copied a 5-second clip with motion keyframes at the
beginning, middle, and end. If you paste the motion attributes into a 10-second clip,
the location of these three keyframes will be placed to fit at the beginning, the
middle, and the end of the 10-second clip.

Video Attributes
 Content: Pastes the video content of the copied clip. This replaces existing video, but

not any other attributes. The copied content must have enough source material to
match the length of the clip it’s pasted into.

 Basic Motion: Applies the Motion parameter values and keyframes from the clip you

copied: Scale, Rotation, Center, and Anchor Point.

 Crop: Applies the Crop parameter values and keyframes from the clip you

copied: Left, Right, Top, Bottom, and Edge Feather.

 Distort: Applies the Distort parameter values and keyframes from the clip you

copied: Upper Left, Upper Right, Lower Right, Lower Left, and Aspect Ratio.

 Opacity: Applies the Opacity parameter values and keyframes from the clip you copied.
 Drop Shadow: Applies the Drop Shadow parameter values and keyframes from the

clip you copied: Offset, Angle, Color, Softness, and Opacity.

 Motion Blur: Applies the Motion Blur parameter values and keyframes from the clip

you copied: % Blur and Samples.
