Thanks Ann.

You’re clearly right. Where did I get the idea this was possible in the first place? Maybe the PP Manual! Not the first time I’ve been mislead by an incomplete entry in the manual…

1
In a Timeline panel, choose from a clip or track’s effect menu to display the property containing the keyframes you want to copy.
2
Select one or more keyframes.
3
Choose Edit > Copy.
4
In the timeline for the sequence containing the destination clip or track, do one of the following:
•
Select the clip where you want to paste the keyframes.
•
Target the video or audio track where you want the copied keyframes to appear.
5
Make sure that the clip or track displays the same property as the keyframes you copied; otherwise, the Paste command is unavailable. If the property is not available on the clip or track’s effect properties menu, you must apply the same effect that was applied to the clip or track from which the keyframes were copied.
6
Move the current-time indicator to the point in time where you want the keyframes to appear.
7
Choose Edit > Paste.

Thanks Gabriel. Clearly a good idea, but one I should have had before creating all the volume keyframes directly on a track. I’ll try this next time.

[Geoffrey Shea]

Thanks for the helpful replies. (and clarification!).

I guess we’ll live wit it for now…

I’m having this same behaviour with PP CS5.5. Has this problem (the reference monitor not playing along with the ganged program monitor) been resolved? Or is it just me?

[Geoffrey Shea]

I upgraded to 5.0.4 and the problem persists. The Adobe post (above) says its related to monitor settings but I get it even with a single monitor. Seems like a known bug. Oh well.

[Geoffrey Shea]

Well, kinda. It is apparently fixed in 5.5.2. But I’m at 5.0, so I can’t get there from here. 🙂 According to the last paragraph on this page at Adobe. Thanks for heads up. I guess it’s time to upgrade…

Thanks Vince. I’m sure I tried that five times but its working now!
