Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 1135)

For example, suppose that two clips, Clip A and Clip B, both have a Gaussian Blur filter
applied. Clip A has a Radius parameter value of 100, and Clip B has a Radius parameter
value of 13. If you copy Clip A and then paste its filter attributes onto Clip B, Clip B now
has two Gaussian Blur filters applied. The first filter has a Radius parameter value of 13
(Clip B’s original Blur filter), and the second filter has a Radius parameter value of 100
(the filter from Clip A).
• Speed: Applies the Speed parameter settings from the clip you copied.
• Clip Settings (capture): Pastes all the capture settings from the clip you copied (the
capture settings are those in the Clip Settings tab in the Log and Capture window).
Note: This option works only if the clip receiving the pasted parameters is offline.
Audio Attributes
• Content: Pastes the audio content of the copied clip. This replaces existing audio, but
not any other attributes. The copied content must have enough source material to
match the length of the clip it’s pasted into.
• Levels: Applies all audio level values and keyframes from the clip you copied.
• Pan: Applies all stereo pan values and keyframes from the copied clip.
• Filters: Adds all audio filter parameter values and keyframes from the clip you copied.
This works identically to pasting video filters (see the description of how video filters
are pasted, above).
Copying and Pasting Clip Attributes
When you paste clip attributes into other clips, the following rules apply:
• All parameter settings in the Motion tab of the clip you paste attributes into are replaced.
• The speed parameter settings of the clip you paste into are replaced.
• Filters are added in addition to any filters already in the clip you paste into. (Existing
filters are left unchanged.)
Tip: If you plan to apply the same attributes again and again at different times, you
may find it convenient to put a copy of the clip (with the attributes you want) in a
designated bin or project tab in the Browser. That way you can easily locate the clip
and copy and paste from it.
To paste the attributes of a copied clip into another clip
1 In the Timeline, select a clip whose attributes you want to paste into another clip.
2 Choose Edit > Copy (or press Command-C) to copy the clip and its settings.
3 Select a clip or clips to paste the settings into.
4 Do one of the following:
• Choose Edit > Paste Attributes (or press Option-V).
