Note: Some parameters’ keyframes can be pasted only onto a similar parameter. For example,
you can paste audio volume keyframes from one clip to another clip’s volume animation, but you
cannot paste those keyframes to a clip’s opacity animation.
Keyframes are always pasted beginning at the location of the playhead or skimmer, and a
specific parameter must be selected before you choose the Paste command. If the playhead or
skimmer is not currently over the selected clip, no keyframes are pasted.
Note: Pasted keyframes replace any keyframes already applied to the destination parameter
within the time range of the pasted keyframes. Keyframes outside the time range being pasted
are not affected. For example, if you select a range of opacity keyframes covering a 5-second
range, and paste them to a new clip’s opacity setting, keyframes within the 5 seconds beginning
at the playhead or skimmer are replaced with the copied keyframes. Any keyframes before or
after that range remain the same.
