Edit Menu
This menu contains familiar commands such as Undo, Cut, Copy, and Paste and also
contains commands to select and delete objects, modify project properties, and control
the Motion spelling checker.
• Undo: This command is usually followed by the name of the last command performed
such as Undo Move, or Undo Rotation Change. Choosing this menu item restores the
project to the state before that action was taken. You can undo up to 99 actions. If the
menu item is dimmed, you cannot undo. (Command-Z)
• Redo: This command is usually followed by the name of the last command performed
such as Redo Move or Redo Rotation Change. It is only active if one or more actions
have been undone. Choosing this menu item performs the exact action that was just
undone. (Command-Shift-Z)
• Cut: Removes the selection and stores it on the Clipboard so it can be pasted later.
(Command-X)
• Copy: Copies the selection and stores it on the Clipboard so it can be pasted later.
(Command-C)
• Paste: Adds the current Clipboard selection to the project based on the current selection.
This command is not available if nothing is on the Clipboard or if the contents of the
Clipboard cannot be pasted to the current selection—for example, text cannot be
pasted onto a keyframe. (Command-V)
• Paste Special: Gives you the choice to paste the contents of the Clipboard into the
active Timeline by inserting (pushing existing objects out of the way) or exchanging
the contents with the selected object. Additional options are available.
(Command-Option-V)
For more information, see Paste Special .
• Duplicate: Makes a copy of the current selection and immediately adds it to the project.
(Command-D)
• Delete: Removes the current selected object. In the Timeline, Delete leaves a gap where
the object was. (Delete)
• Ripple Delete: Removes the selected object and closes the gap left behind in the
Timeline. (Shift-Delete)
