  Transferring parameters from 1 clip to another.

  Posted by John Craven on April 3, 2008 at 11:03 pm

  Hello Everybody,
  I’m trying to transfer the same parameters of one video clip to a different video clip in the timeline. I tried creating a drop zone and using the paste special function with no luck. I’m really not sure how the paste special function works, so I could be doing that wrong. But I’m sure there is a better way than to just copy every number word for word. Thanks….

  John,
  If you want to transfer all of the parameters (Properties, Behaviors, Filters…etc.) make a duplicate (select clip and hit the command & D keys) of your clip. Find your new clip in the File Browser and drag it over to your Project Pane or Timeline. Hover the curser over the clip and the curser arrow will turn into a curved/hocked shaped arrow. Drop the new clip on the old and it takes on all of the old clips parameters.

  If you want to apply certain parameters such as position select it/them in the Inspector. Drag it over to the clip like you would in the example above. Hope this helps.
