What’s the key stroke…

I think you are thinking of After Effects. To do what you say you have to COPY (Command C )the clip and then PASTE ATTRIBUTES (Option V) and select CONTENT. This will retain all the filters motion and keyframes etc.

Hi Chris

Yeah I agree with Sean, your probably thinking of the Paste Attributes

Sean and Peter,

Glad to see I’m not the only one awake!
Yeap, you guys are totally right, I was thinking of After Effects! Wow thats a relief .(sort of)

You know I just have to put this out there, cause I’m about to pull my hair out. Time Code Breaks! Ahhh.!!
Why do they even make camera’s that do it?!? I know.. But still, what a pain in the arse.

Thanks Guys, Chris

Hey Chris

Awake here but only because I’m on the other side of the world! Sydney, Australia here

Man, I hate timecode breaks too. Drive me insane. It’s not that hard for a camera person / DoP to keep their eye on things.
I am very very clear about this with clients, and charge them more if I encounter these!!! 😉

Go to bed!

Regards
Peter

there was a bug with this command in fcp 4.5 where it wouldnt paste the keyframes – you had to manually highlight filters and drag them to the new clip on the timeline…anyone with fcp5 know if this has been fixed?

system 1 G5DP 2.0 / 2.0G RAM / OS 10.3.8 / QT 6.5.2 / FCP HD 4.5 / CineWave 4.7 / Cinewave RT Pro/ Pro Digital Plus & Pro Analogue BOB

I’ve only had this happen on odd occassions. Most of the time paste attributes and selecting content works perfectly.
Where I find it doesn’t work it if I copy a clip and paste attributes say adding filters motion opacity etc. One work around it to manually drag the fx from one clip to the other but even then I do find that the keyframes can get screwed up. It seems like FCP trys to past the keyframes at the same point in the UNEDITED clip. So if you open the clip into the viewer from the timeline, you will see the key frames there just nowhere near where they are supposed to be. Lets hope for a fix in 5. Oh and yeah I’m in Melbourne OZ so not a night owl either.
