  • Swapping videos and maintaing motion properties?

    Posted by Stan Welks on May 28, 2010 at 6:58 pm

    I have an existing project with videos that are moving around screen and scaling up-and-down. I would like to swap a new video for some of the ones that are on the Canvas and maintain the same motion properties that were already applied to the current videos.

    Is this possible? If so how? Using FCP 6

    Thanks!

    I don’t know of any way to swap out files easily without taking files offline and relinking them or something in that direction. You could just copy the video on the timeline, lay in the one you want to replace it with in the same in/out points, then right click the new one and select Paste Attributes, and select just Motion.

    If there is a quick way to swap things out, I’d love to hear it 😛
