Copy and paste effects

You can copy and paste one or more effects from one clip to another in the Effect Controls panel. You can also copy all effect values (including keyframes for Fixed and Standard effects) from one clip to another using the Paste Attributes command.

If the effect includes keyframes, these appear at comparable positions in the target clip, starting at the beginning of the clip. If the target clip is shorter than the source clip, keyframes are pasted beyond the target clip’s Out point. To view these keyframes, move the clip’s Out point to a time later than the keyframe’s placement, or deselect the Pin To Clip option.

  1. In the Timeline panel, select the clip that contains the effect or effects you want to copy.
  2. In the Effect Controls panel, select the effect you want to copy or Shift‑click to select multiple effects.
  3. Choose Edit > Copy.
  4. In the Timeline panel, select the clip to which you want to copy the effect and choose one of the following:
    • To paste one or more effects, choose Edit > Paste.

    • To paste all effects, choose Edit > Paste Attributes.
