Copying and Pasting Clip Attributes
When you paste clip attributes into other clips, the following rules apply:
 All parameters in the Motion tab of the clip you paste attributes into are replaced.
 The speed parameters of the clip you paste into are replaced.
 Filters are added in addition to any filters already in the clip you paste into. (Existing
filters are left as is.)
∏
Tip: If you plan to apply the same attributes again and again, at different times, you
may find it convenient to put a copy of the clip (with the attributes you want) in a
designated bin or project tab in the Browser. That way you can easily locate it and copy
and paste from it.
To paste the attributes of a copied clip into another clip:
1 In the Timeline, select a clip whose attributes you want to paste into another clip.
2 Do one of the following to copy the clip and its settings:
 Choose Edit > Copy.
 Press Command-C.
3 Select a clip or clips to paste the settings into.
4 Do one of the following:
 Choose Edit > Paste Attributes.
 Control-click the clip or clips you’ve selected in the Timeline, then choose Paste
Attributes from the shortcut menu.
 Press Option-V.
5 In the Paste Attributes dialog, select the attributes you want to apply to the selected clip.
6 If the clip you’re pasting the attributes into is longer than the clip you copied them
from, you may also want to click the Scale Attribute Times checkbox to proportionally
position all keyframes that you copied to fit the longer clip.
