Copy Filter Controls
The Copy Filter controls give you an easy way to copy color correction filters and filter
settings into other clips in your sequence.
 Copy From 2nd Clip Back: Copies the settings from the color correction filter of the
same type that’s applied two clips behind the currently selected clip, and pastes
those settings into the current color correction filter. The new values replace any
values or keyframes that were already applied in the current filter.
If the filter being copied from is keyframed, the values from the last keyframe are
applied to the current clip. If the second clip behind the currently selected one has
no color correction filter, this control is dimmed.
 Copy From 1st Clip Back: Copies the settings from the color correction filter of the
same type that’s applied to the clip immediately behind the currently selected clip,
and pastes those settings into the current color correction filter. The new values
replace any values or keyframes that were already applied in the current filter.
If the filter being copied from is keyframed, the values from the last keyframe are
applied to the current clip. If the first clip behind the currently selected one has no
color correction filter, this control is dimmed.
 Drag Filter: Allows you to drag a copy of the current color correction filter with all of
its settings, and drop it onto another clip in your sequence. Click this button, then
drag the filter to another clip.
 Copy To 1st Clip Forward: Copies the settings of the current color correction filter into
the next clip in your sequence. If the current color correction filter is keyframed, the
values from the last keyframe are copied. If there is no color correction filter in the
next clip, one is applied automatically.
 Copy To 2nd Clip Forward: Copies the settings of the current color correction filter
into the second clip forward in your sequence. If the current color correction filter is
keyframed, the values from the last keyframe are copied. If there is no color
correction filter in the second clip forward, one is applied automatically.
The Copy Filter functions are also available using menu commands and keyboard
shortcuts. For additional information about using these controls, see the next section.
