Working with keyframes
Pasting attributes of a keyframe (“selective
paste”)
You can copy and paste some or all of the attributes of a single keyframe to
selected keyframes. The attributes you choose to paste replace the corresponding
attributes of the destination keyframes. This is called a “selective paste,” and is
particularly useful when you want to make changes to a complex series of
keyframes in a clip.
For example, let’s say you’ve created a series of
Transform keyframes on a clip,
where each keyframe uses all of the transform controls but with different
Size
settings. Your keyframe sequence might appear as follows:
If you later decide that you’d like all the keyframes to have the same
Size setting
as the keyframe at frame 0, you could easily fix the sequence by pasting the
initial keyframe’s
Size onto the other keyframes as follows:
1 Click the keyframe containing the settings you want to paste. For this
example, that would be the keyframe at frame 0 on the
Transform track.
2 Click the Copy button on the Toolbar, or press CTRL+C.
3 Select the keyframes to which you want to paste the copied settings. You can
CTRL+click individual keyframes to select them, or use SHIFT+click to
select a range of keyframes.
4 Click the Selective Paste button on the Toolbar, or right-click any of the
selected destination keyframes, then choose
Selective Paste from the
pop-up menu that appears. This displays a dialog box containing settings
available for pasting, similar to the following:
