[Andy Field] “What am i doing wrong?”
I believe I can tell you exactly, because it is the same thing the flummoxed me at first. Make sure the track your are pasting to is selected, and then regular paste will suddenly be available in the menu.

For some recent reviews of mine – Premiere Pro CC and Media Composer 7:
FWIW – these are not intended to represent “better than” or “worse than” in comparison to FCP X or anything else. Just the current state of things and how they apply for those who like or are interested in these applications.
I like them both, but personally I’m still on FCP X for everything I’m currently doing.

It works on a Mac here.
I select the transition and press COMMAND C to copy
I then position the CTI over the cut and target the tracks I want to apply the transition to.
I then press COMMAND V to paste

I have some small (but annoying) gripes (ie. fades to black when using GPU hardware acceleration are not smooth), but on the whole it’s a great NLE. Fast, flexible, and stable on a MacPro 5,1. Love the UI. Monitoring using Kona LHi is smooth. I’ve been using the DNxHD 220x sequence preset for all edits. No transcoding of media. Render then export using sequence settings using preview render files to an MXF file and it FLIES. AME is also very fast compressing the MXF to MP4, etc.

The cool thing is that in Premiere Pro, the effects retain the same stacking order that you saved them in. In FCP filter packs, the filters would reorganize according to alpha numeric order when you save them as Favorites. You would have to rename them alpha numerically to make them stay in the same order, if I recall correctly. As most of you know, when your effects/filters are out of order, you can get a wildly different effect.

GenArts already makes Sapphire for FCP X:
https://www.genarts.com/software/sapphire-edge/final-cut
Free trial if you want to give it a go?

Hi Lain,
You are referring to “Sapphire Edge” which is not even close to the full Sapphire suite. $400 vs $2400. It’s just a bunch of barely customizable quick pre-sets.
I asked GenArts if they plan on supporting X with the full suite and they basically said no current plans.

Ah, got it. I guess if you’re really happy with the plug-ins you’d want to keep using them, but from the outside, them seem expensive for what you get. Clearly I’m biased, as I create promo and tutorial videos for CoreMelt, but CoreMelt Complete looks like it overlaps quite a bit. If you really can’t find what you’re looking for, the ability to roll-your-own FCP X effects/transitions/titles in Motion is incredibly helpful.
