Pan Crop Events (multiple) in a timeline- How to copy events to match framing, sizing etc.

[Norman Black]

You can copy your Pan/crop to other events by right clicking the event and selecting copy, and then right clicking the envent you want to copy to and use paste event attributes. This copies a lot of other things in addition to pan/crop. Other effects and the event properties.

You can save your pan/crop setting as a preset and then select that preset on other events. When I have copied specific effect properties or pan/crop I just use a preset I name “temp”.

Can you do this for Track Motion too? How can I copy and paste TRACK MOTION to other events?

[Angelo Mike]

Track Motion affects all the events across the track. But it’s not the same as Pan and Crop. Try it out and you’ll see what I mean. It won’t let you digitally zoom in/out on an event.

Track Motion
I have a new event timeline for every Track Motion effect because the PPT’s videos, still images are not consistent in size (height and width) Trying to quickly Re-frame all so they look the same.

1. Side by side images
2. Various media

Thanks in advance!

Track motion applies to track and not events. Yes, the lock envelopes to events will move track envelopes and keyframes within an even if you move/slide the event on the same track, but this is not the same thing.

Track motion has presets as well and you can save a preset and open it. Understand that track motion applies to a whole track and not to events so a preset would overwrite all track motion events on a track.

If you want to copy a set of track motion keyframes to another portion of the same track, then select the relevant keyframes and right click and select copy and then paste the keyframes in your new location. That should also work across tracks should you so desire.
