    Greetings All,

    I’m doing a project that has a ton of pictures, I have applied motion to the first 3 out of many and I want to save the effect as a preset to apply to other photos is there any way to this aside from coping and pasting attributes to each picture.

    Drag the clip from the timeline to the bin. Label it as saved animation with keyframes. Any time you wish to apply the motion keyframes to another clip, copy the clip, then paste the attributes to another clip.

    Make Motion favourite? The look for the shortcut in the menu, probably something like control shift F

    Thanks for your response

    We have keyframes set to an image already. Our goal is to save the keyframes like custom effect so we don’t have to copy and paste the attribute to each new image.

    Keep in mind that if your photos are different sizes, you will have to readjust your keyframes.

    I would suggest resizing all your photos to a specific size.
