    Not really sure what that would look like but you can copy keyframed animations between clips with paste attributes.

    It would look like a ‘custom’ folder in the effect presets. Or a dropdown list similar to the colour correction presets.

    I’ve tried keeping a repo that I want to reuse in compound clips for copy / paste attributes – but the compound clip has to be pasted to the timeline / stepped in / copied / stepped out / deleted before I can then paste attributes – so that’s not a very neat workaround.

    I find it very hard to believe that there is no easy option for this other than paste attributes now this software has been around for 3.5 years.

    I assume that with Motion 5 (I’m on the trial) I could do a repo and save as an effect preset.

    ‘Make favorite motion’ I use a lot in FCP7 – rename the resulting preset and reuse. So much goodness in that software that seems to be lost forever…

    [Trevor Asquerthian] ” (I’m on the trial)”

    Where are you getting a trial from?? (O_o)

    But to answer the question: yes, via Motion would be the only way I’d know how to do it. Open whichever you want and save it to a new category/theme.

    Come to think of it, there’s even a (as usual) very informative clip on the subject from Mark & Steve…
