Removing Attributes From a Clip
If you ever want to remove particular attributes from a clip, such as motion parameters,
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, click the checkbox next to the attributes you want to
remove, then click OK.
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:
m Choose Effects > Last - [Name of Effect].
To apply the most recently used video filter:
m Choose Effects, Video Filters > Last - [Name of Filter].
To apply the most recently used video transition:
m Choose Effects, Video Transitions > Last - [Name of Transition].
To apply the most recently used video filter or video transition:
m Choose Effects > Last - [Name of Motion Favorite].
Checkboxes are available
for all attributes that the
selected clip has
applied to it.
