How do you copy and paste audio effects from one track to another?

[Andrew Bird]

Unforutunately that’s exactly what I am doing again today. Writing down submixes, writing down all track plug in settings then typing them back in, number by number 25 scenes from different freelancers (who unfortunately started to ignore my audio mix template later in the project).

This request to save presets and track presets is pretty infuriating and has been requested for a few years now.
Offlaying to audition isn’t a great help just yet, but Audition has a great dev team who are working hard to making it a good go-to- audio NLE.

If you want to use the exact same track settings for multiple sequences, you can add your track effects to your first sequence. Then Duplicate the sequence, delete the footage from the duplicate, copy paste the footage from your second sequence into the duplicate, and then your track settings will be exactly the same as your first sequence. That will work in some instances at least.

Thought I would chime in as I was looking for information on this also to help me quickly set up a few fx buses.
I found a solution to this while playing around (in Ae 2018 at least which is what I’m running now.)

In the Mixer you can actually just drag and drop fx between tracks and they will clone over.

In After Effects? You can do it in Avid too.

Came here to see if there was a good way to do this very thing. I like this workaround! Hopefully there will be better support for this in the future — seems like we’re still waiting.

My client requires me to use PP 2017 and I don’t recall if this has been fixed in 2018. A bit baffled as to how this is still not possible in 2017 since this thread is 2 years old. Adobe, any new information regarding this? Thanks.

Yeah this is a Premiere question in the Premiere forum. Doesn’t help us that you can do it in other programs. ☺ And you cannot drag/drop Audio Track Mixer effects in Premiere 2017 or 2018.

Tries to drag and drop plugin from one track to another in track mixer…
Tries to right click coy and paste…

Nope 🙁

I don’t see this yet in CC2018, but John Hillman’s suggestion is pretty quick.

“Add your track effects to your first sequence. Then Duplicate the sequence, delete the footage from the duplicate, copy paste the footage from your second sequence into the duplicate, and then your track settings will be exactly the same as your first sequence. That will work in some instances at least.”

I’m doing a set of talking head commercials, and now that the audio is sounding the way I want it on my first sequence, following the aforementioned steps allows all of the settings to stay intact. While I wish that copying audio effects was possible, this method is also pretty quick. It’s way faster than manually setting everything all over again!

Dave,

You can copy/paste clip effects. The limitation only applies to track effects. There is no mechanism to copy/paste them and no way to save custom settings, either, its kind of crazy, but its been like that forever.
