Copy and paste effects between clips

Applies to 0.11Updated 6 Nov 20262 min read

Copy one effect, several, or all of them with their keyframes, then paste onto every selected clip at once, as in Premiere Pro.

Copy effects in Effect Controls and paste them onto one clip or many. Their settings and keyframes come along.

Copy in Effect Controls

• Click an effect's name to select it. Cmd+click adds more. Selected effects are lit.
• Cmd+C copies the selected effects. Cmd+X cuts them, Cmd+A selects every effect, and Delete removes the selected ones.
• Right-click an effect for Copy (or Copy N Effects when several are selected), Copy All Effects and Paste. Copy All Effects takes every effect plus Motion and Opacity, or Volume and Panner on sound.
• Right-click Motion, Opacity or Volume for Copy and Paste of that part alone. The keys select only effects, so use right-click for these.

Paste onto several clips

• Select clips on the timeline and press Cmd+V (Edit › Paste). The effects go onto every selected clip of the same kind: picture effects onto picture clips, sound effects onto sound clips. It is one undo step.
• Or right-click a clip and choose Paste Effects. It pastes onto the clip under the pointer, or onto the selection.

Cmd+V pastes whatever you copied last. After copying clips, it still pastes clips at the playhead, as before.

Paste Attributes… (Option+Cmd+V) and Remove Attributes… work as before.

Included in every plan and in the 3-day free trial.
