    Hi there folks,
    Been a while since ive been at the editing desk and have a small problem.
    I have a png image sequence for a 200frame CG sequence and I need to change the alpha
    setting in item properties on every image. Is there a way of doing this in one go as apposed
    to everyone individually.
    Many thanks.
    Luke.

    Usually if I want to change a property on several video clips, such as applying a colour correction I follow this work path:

    • Change one of the clips the way you want.
    • Copy the clip to the clipboard “Cmd-C” without the quotes.
    • Deselect that clip and Cmd-select all other clips you want to affect the changes to.
    • Paste the first clip’s attributes to all the others by hitting “Option-V”.
    • A dialogue box will appear. Put a checkmark in the boxes you want copied to the other clips.
    • Click OK.

    If all your pictures have the same common name you may be able to use the Find command within FCP to select all the pictures at once instead of having to Cmd-select them all one by one.

    But the properties are not like the attributes. They can be copied and pasted.
    Select in the Browser all the still you want to change the Apha, and Ctrl-Click the column.
    You will get the different Alpha options available.

    Hi Guys,
    thanks for the feedback. Yeah the problem was you cant copy and paste item properties. But Rafael I did as you suggested and that worked. Thanks again.
    Luke.
