Copy and Paste Behaviors

I have to do the same animation to about 30 different objects (The 2D boxes need to rotate 90 degrees on the Y axis) in the project I am doing. Is there a way I can do one animation on one of the boxes and then apply it to the others via a simple copy/paste operation? I can then manually time them by moving the Keyframes in the timeline.
Any help would be appreciated.

Sure. Couple of ways. One would be to open the Keyframe Editor, make sure Show is set to Animated, and then select all the parameters and drag them to the Favorites folder in the Library. Keep the mouse held down and choose to save as one file. You can then simply drag this file onto any other layer in your project to apply the same animation. If you select all your target layers first, you can drag it onto all of them at the same time.

  • Random auto copying and pasting after 10.6.6 update

    Since I upgraded to 10.6.6, I've been seeing random copy and paste behavior. If I leave my mouse in a text box and wait a little bit, the Mac pastes my clipboard. If I select some text, the Mac copies it without me telling it to. Any clue what's going on?

    The first thing i would usually try with a display issue is on the Macbook try resetting the Parameter RAM (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379) to help the graphics cards communicate with the external display.
    If it's still happening it might be the connection or the actual Cinema Display so Thomas' questions are definitely a good next step.

  • Problem with copying and pasting text blocks in Fireworks CS5

    Until recently when I copied and pasted a text block in Fireworks CS5, the block would retain all formatting applied to the copied text block, font, size, color, etc. Now, the pasted block reverts to some default setting. Oddly, if I copy multiple text blocks, the formatting is retained as expected, but not if I copy a single text block. I cannot find a preference that affects this, and I cannot figure out what might have changed. The current behaviour is definitely not desired, and is dramatically affecting my efficiency. Anyone experienced something similar or have any ideas how to correct this? Thanks.

    Sure, thanks for replying so quickly. My workflow is simple. My problem is limited to copying and pasting within Fireworks. I typically select an entire block with the main selection arrow but I sometimes use this one too depending on the context. I usually just use the keyboard CTRL-C then CTRL-V to paste. Previously (and I have been using FW for years, it's always been the same) it would paste an identical text block directly over the top of the copied one, and it looked exactly the same, same font, same color, etc. Now, it pastes a new block in the center of the document and all the formatting has reverted to what I guess is the default, in this case Myriad Pro 12pt. The behavior is the same no matter which arrow I use to select the text block. I tried Edit>Copy and Edit>Paste, the effect was the same. The Duplicate function seems to work as desired, but I had never noticed or tried that command before reading your post. Using the keyboard to copy/paste is such an ingrained habit I'd much prefer to continue using it as I always have instead of trying to retrain myself. (I'm old, retraining is hard!)
    (Selected block)
    (pasted block)
    Most often I copy and paste directly on the canvas, but occasionally will do it within the layers panel. Both now have the same undesired effect. I also tried creating a new document to see if it was a corruption in my current file, but the issue persisted to the new document as well.
    Thanks.

  • How to NOT retain formatting when copying and pasting text

    Captivate 7 keeps the formatting from my text sources when I paste into a Text Caption which is not what I need. Anything I could find in the forums where questions relating to "keeping" the source formatting. I don't want this, I want Captivate to keep its text formatting when I paste text into a text caption. I even did a test creating a new project and using one of the Cap 7 themes. If I paste text in the default capture caption style object, it retains the formatting of the copied text source.  I have been working with Captivate 7 since a few months now and, until this morning, when I copied and pasted text from another source into my Captivate Text Caption, it retained the format of my Captivate Text Caption object. This is exactly what I need. How can I get this behavior back?
    I appreciate any help. Thank you.

    Hi there
    Well, first I would report it as undesired behavior and possibly ask for an enhancement that allows us to right-click and paste without formatting. Do this using the link below:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
    For now, you have a couple of options.
    1. Perform a side trip. Open a text editor such as Windows Notepad or Apple Textpad and paste, then copy back to the clipboard. Then paste the text into the caption. (When pasting into the text editor, formatting is stripped)
    2. On Windows machines, you can usually find a clipboard utility that allows you to paste as pure text. In fact, one such application is called PureText.

  • How the heck to I copy and paste keyframes (scaling, rotation, etc.) in motion 5?

    Trying to figure out how to copy keyframes from one object to another obejct in Motion 5, and I'm left screaming pulling my hair out.
    It USED to be so easy... where is the paste attributes option here?
    Or can I duplicate the object and relink it to another object? Going crazy here. Any help would be great.

    There are several ways to copy and paste keyframes:
    1. Select the "source object" and go to the animated parameter in the Inspector (position for example).
    2. Click and drag the parameter name you want to copy to the destination layer in the layer list via drag and drop. The values (including keyframes) will be copied to the appropriate channels.
    OR
    1. Select the source object.
    2. For each channel that is animated (position, rotation, scale) go to the far right side of the parameter in the Inspector and select "Show in keyframe editor."
    3. Select all the keyframes you want (I use a simple click and drag to create a box an select all of the keyframes) and then copy (command-c).
    4. Now select the destination layer, position the playhead where you want the keyframes to start from and paste (command-v).

    If you just need to match the animation of another layer (Position, Rotation, Scale) try using the Match Move behavior.

  • Is there a way to fix the change in copy and pasting email addresses?

    In the past, whenever I've copied and pasted email addresses, for example, copying the email address from one email into a form field on a Web page, Address Book, or even the search field in Mail, only the email address would get pasted in. Now, since I've upgraded to Snow Leopard, it seems, the name and email address is getting pasted in like this: "NYTimes.com" <[email protected]>.
    It seems when pasted into the search field like this, even Mail has trouble finding other emails with the same address, which is often what I use it for. Is there a settings fix for this or am I just going crazy?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    I found it in Mac tips
    Thankfully, Apple included a hidden preference to revert to the 10.5 behavior of copying only the e-mail address. Quit Mail if it’s running, then enter this command in Terminal (in Applications -> Utilities):
    defaults write com.apple.mail AddressesIncludeNameOnPasteboard -bool NO
    Restart Mail, and Copy Address will once again do just what it says, which is the preferred behavior for my use of Mail. If you try this and decided you prefer the default version, quit Mail and run this command in Terminal:
    defaults delete com.apple.mail AddressesIncludeNameOnPasteboard
    Thanks to the fine folks at ecamm network for digging this one out and writing about it on their blog.

  • Copy-and-paste table row results in hang in Contribute 6.5 Mac

  • Cant copy and paste text or move by paragraph in email compose window

    Hi, win8, heaps of memory, TB 24.6.0, various add-ons
    The copy and paste just stops functioning sometime - when I select ctrl+c then ctrl+v nothing happens.
    Also, ctrl+ left /right arrows will move by word, but up/down arrows do nothing.
    Both the copy paste and the para up/down have never had a problem in any other programme.
    (Now I just tried pasting into notepad and it worked! Then it pasted within the compose window too... I had copied something else in the meantime, don't know what fixed it.)
    This is very annoying. Is there a quick fix? No I don't want to spend 3 weeks mucking around with add-ons, creating new profiles or starting in safe mode - surely only 1 person needs to do that then tell the community the answer??? (or better still fix the issue!)

    Insult what was the insult.... really speak up. And before you get to smart about it
    Was it is telling you your it. Well sorry to break it to you but I don't see anyone else with the problem so they can go through the diagnostic process on your behalf. So no one has an answer, and neither do you.
    So your still it.
    Why am I posting if I don't know the answer? That is simple really. We volunteer our time to try and help our fellow Thunderbird users. When new problems do arise we try and get to the bottom of them and get them fixed. Your problem is one such. You have now made it abundantly clear to me you do not want support as it is offered for Thunderbird so I will go away. I suggest you continue to use your workaround.
    <blockquote>Hi, win8, heaps of memory, TB 24.6.0, various add-ons </blockquote>
    Then update to the current version. 24 is no longer supported. Even if it has a bug, no one is going to fix it.
    Restart with add-ons disabled and see if it helps. (Add-ons are supported by their author. If they mess with Thunderbird that is a problem for the add-on author not anyone here.)
    If that does not cover it perhaps you need to file a bug in [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ bugzilla]. But be warned. Developers are not interested in anything that does not move a bug forward. They will make you go through the diagnostic process before they will even accept that there is a bug. They will ask you for steps to reproduce the problem. They often close bugs "works for me" if they are unable to replicate the behavior and there is a single reporter,

  • Copy and Paste Disabled in Piano Roll

    HI All - this is probably something very basic, but I can't do a simple 'copy and paste' in the piano roll view of MIDI events. If I select a group of events on a drum track and then select Copy, the Paste command is greyed out, i.e. the events are not being copied to the Clipboard. I don't know what setting or preference I could have changed that makes such a basic functionality unavailable. Any tips?

    Hey Thanks Bob, and, aw shucks, that is so obvious now you mention it. I think it was flashback to my original sequencing software, in which you would do all your edits in the Piano roll view, and I was subconsciously remembering that.
    ??? Copy and Paste works perfectly in the Piano Roll editing.... unless you're using the new standard (somewhat lame) single screen editing function in early versions of Logic 9... it's a shame they made this the default behavior.
    Next time you wish to have all the the editing functions in the Piano Roll (formerly Matrix) editor hold down the Option key when Dbl clicking on a MIDI region. The Piano Roll will open in a floating window that has full editing functions...
    Upgrade to 9.1.3 as this has been fixed, why are you using older versions of the program? You have Intel machines, right?

  • Copy and paste style in custom toolbar

    I use the copy and paste stlye function frequently so added the icons to the toolbar. It seems that these buttons function only as copy/paste paragraph style rather than text style. Has anyone discovered a way to change their behavior? Dave

    David,
    have you tried the key combos Shift-Option-Command-C (Copy) and Option-Command-V (Paste) instead of the toolbar icons?

  • Copy and paste styles do not work in toolbar

    I cannot get the copy and paste style functions in the toolbar to work properly for Pages 5.5.   is this something not available in 5.5?
    Do I need to export my document back to Pages 4.3 to have that feature available?

    Hi Pcenginefx,
    This is expected behavior. Marking In and Out points in clip thumbnails is not supported directly in the Media Browser, you must import the clips to the Project panel first. Clips in the Media Browser cannot have metadata added to them to them (like In and Out points) until they are in the project.
    You can still open the clips from the Media Browser into the Source Monitor to set In and Out points before importing them into the project if that workflow is important to you.

  • Copy and paste web page

    Hi,this is my first post. When using Internet Explorer on the PC I can copy and paste anything I highlight but in Safari on my Mac it only copies the text so when i paste into Word I only get the text. Is there a way of setting Safari up so that it copies the images as well.
    Thanks David

    You cannot make any changes to how Safari handles copy/paste behavior. But perhaps you can make use of screenshots or printing an entire web page to PDF.
    If you wanted to send somebody a small portion of a screen with images, text, etc., you could hit Command-Shift-4 then use the mouse to select an area of the screen that you want to capture. After you've done this, you'll see "Picture 1" on your Desktop which you can easily email to somebody else (just drag "Picture 1" from the Desktop onto the Mail icon in your Dock).
    If you want to capture the entire web page to send to somebody, try Command-P to bring up the print dialog, then in the lower-left you'll see options for PDF - choose "Save as PDF". Once again, you'll be able to send the result file by email.
    I use both of these techniques on a regular basis. One of the things that's especially nice about them is their ability to capture what you see exactly. Unlike Internet Explorer copy/paste, which might not look the same once you put it into an email, or the receiver's email client might not display the message as you saw it. None of this happens when you send a fixed image - what you see is what the receiver will see.

  • Bridge copy and paste folders with the same name question

    I just copied and pasted a folder named, as an example, "concerts" with a bunch of pictures to another drive with a folder with the same name.
    I choosed "substitute" when prompted and all the pics existing in old "concerts" folder have been deleted and replaced with just the new ones.
    So pasting a folder can't add files to the folder with the same name, but it completely replaces it. The other prompted option creates a "concerts (1)" new folder.
    Luckyly before moving files I always do a backup, so it's not a big issue, but I'm amazed by such behaviour. Also deleted pictures don't appear in the recycle bin. They are completely lost!

    I choosed "substitute" when prompted and all the pics existing in old "concerts" folder have been deleted and replaced with just the new ones.
    Are you on Windows? don't know the options you tell, I have three options (Mac) called: 'cancel', 'replace' and 'auto resolve' when dealing with one file and for multiple files it adds 'skip' to the list and has the option for 'apply all'
    Replace does what it says, it replaces files and folders with the same name, auto resolve adds a (1) to the files or other number if more with same name are added.
    So pasting a folder can't add files to the folder with the same name, but it completely replaces it. The other prompted option creates a "concerts (1)" new folder.
    This is normal and wished behavior, you get a warning if names are the same and a choice to either overwrite them or add them with a new (different) filename.
    Luckyly before moving files I always do a backup, so it's not a big issue, but I'm amazed by such behaviour. Also deleted pictures don't appear in the recycle bin. Completely lost!
    Heard that before but can't replicate this, they always appear in the trash on my Mac.

    C/P copies only elements from the notation model. The newly created Node
    is linked to the original semantic element. Is this expected behavior?
    If so, the Paste command should be renamed to "Paste Link" or something
    like this, to not confuse users.
