Copy, paste, move, and duplicate filters
Because filters modify image layers (still images, video clips, shapes, and so on), an applied filter
is attached to its target layer (or folder), nested underneath it in the Layer’s list. You can copy,
paste, and move filters like any other object in Motion, but a filter must be applied to an image
layer or folder containing image layers. When you cut or copy a filter in the Layers list or Timeline,
the copy preserves the current state of the filter’s parameters.
Copy a filter
Do one of the following:
m Select the filter in the Layers list, Timeline, or Inspector, then choose Edit > Copy (or press
Command-C).
