Copy and Paste layers

I'm unsure of the correct workflow, but I recently colorgraded a 30 minute film, matched everyclip the best I can using the primary layer and a RED flut.  Now I want to change the overall look using secondary (i.e to change all the greens).  The only problem is that I cannot find a solution without erasing all my previous work as Speedgrade will not allow me to paste individual layers.  Using an ajustment layer is also not the answer, as not everyclip requires it.  Any suggestions?
Hopefully Adobe will add the copying of layers in the future like photoshop.

This is a serious problem in Direct Link, the lack of a versatil copy/paste in SG. In native mode with grading layers there aren't problem, but in Direct Link mode is a big issue.
This is my feature request more wished: a new and smart method for copy/paste/add layers in the layer stack: select the layer or layers to copy (Ctrl+C) and paste (replacing previous layers) in the selected clip or clips (selected by mouse or the clips between In and Out marks) (Ctrl+V), and two variations: Ctrl+Shift+C for copy only selected features (grade, mask, keyframes, etc) and Ctrl+Shift+V for add like new layer.
If you think this is a interesting idea, please fill a new feature request at: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&product=12

  • Why won't illustrator Cs5 allow me to copy and paste layers when they aren't locked?

    I am working on a project and when I try to copy and paste unlocked layers to paste them in to another image it doesn't paste. The only thing it pastes is the text unformatted. I tried resetting the settings by removing the setting file to see if I can set Illustrator back to square one and it isn't working. See Picture for before (copy) and After (paste)

    I am also using windows 8 on a pc. I would say it was the OS but it was working fine untill yesterday. I am begging for help on this. It is really ruining my work flow today.
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    I just opened the document "san_jan_email.ai" and this is what i see:
    i didn't try to copy and past yet, cause the document it seems fine, have you fixed it? otherwise i can say another stupid thing, i dont know if it's cause the document is too "heavy" for your computer? have you seen if you are not going out of ram or of some hard disk space? at first i could thinking about resetting the settings in Illustrator but since you just said that you already did it, and also that you tried with a CS6 copy, i think it's not that the case.
    edit: i tried to copy and paste as well, for me it's working.

  • Copy and Pasting Layers between .FLA files?

    Can I either Cut or Copy and paste a layer from A.fla to
    B.fla (one Flash file to another)?
    F.z.

    I too would like to know the answer to this question. I recently purchased what I was supposed to be a component. I turned it to be a .fla file. I need to get the contents (MCs, Buttons, Actionscript, etc.) into an existing file. It is a button that is designed to toggle the sound on and off. I would like to use in my existing home page .fla, but can't seem to even copy the elements over one by one. Any ideas?

  • PSD-layered - copy and paste properties to layers in Motion?

    Hi,
    I imported a layered photoshop file into Motion.
    I applied certain properties to one layer (with key frames, such as rotate, scale, shadow...) and I want to know if there is a way to copy those properties and paste them onto the other layers so I can then go in and do certain tweaks, without having to do each layer from scratch...
    (This is something that you can do in FinalCut, copy and past attributes, but I can't seem to find that option in Motion.)
    Thanks

    you can do this by selecting the layers with the properties you want, then in the inspector, drag and drop the parameters onto the the layer you want them applied to.

  • I built an ad using layers saved it and then converted it to a jpeg. Now when I go into elements 11 to do anything else it will not allow to copy and paste to create a new layer. What am I missing?

    You know that you lost the layers when you saved it as a jpeg, right? But you're saying you can't add layers to the jpeg now when it's open in the editor? Go to Image>mode and be sure it's RGB, for starters. Are all the commands in the Layer menu grayed out?

  • Copy and Paste Multi Layers

    I have a picture with several layers. I doubled the width of the canvas size to fit two up for printing.
    How do I copy all the layers to paste an exact duplicate with all the layers in tact without having to flatten the image?
    Thanks

    Thanks...That's a neat trick, but not quite what I need to do.
    I need to select each layer as a group then duplicate them to create the same picture side by side or drag and drop all the duplicated layers intact on the extended canvas. I cannot use the picture package because the size is not a usual format.
    In short, we have Employee badges that are printed through a 4 x 7 printer, to save paper we want to print the badges two up, but the layout template with its numerous layers is only one up.
    It would be really easy just to flatten the image, then duplicate the layer, but each badge has text layers that change with each employee's name, number etc., so all the layers have to be editable when there are two up.
    The issue is how can separate layers be copied and pasted or selected and dragged and dropped as a group in Photoshop and still retain the editable layers?

  • Copy and paste multiple text layers DW CC

    I searched around and couldn't find a good solution to an issue I am having.  I am solid with DW but by no means brilliant, so hopefully this doesn't come across as completely ignorant.   Basically, I have a 400 plus page website that I have to do updates on often.. the way the client wanted it designed makes it problematic for updates regardless of my informing him that doing it differently could save us both a lot of problems, but at the same time, the site is actually perfect for what it is due to how it was done and no templating based site out there can do what it does so I am stuck with it for now.  Each of the 400 plus pages has 6 individual text layers that had to be laid out according to the individual photo on each page, very specialized.  My question is, is there a way to copy and paste multiple layers in DW.  Small updates are fine, but larger updates are a nightmare due to the text issue and page numbers, and believe me, I have been up and down and around about how to make it easier.. but, that said, if I could copy all six layers at once and paste all six in the new document, life would be a lot easier on this project.  I also tried linking the layers and sending them, but that doesn't seem to work for some reason.  
    Any thoughts guys?
    Thanks much for your time.

    Thanks Jon, I will give that a try at some point, I am more on the designer end of things but I could manage to find the layers and give that a shot.   I would love to show you the site, but the owner is very security conscious and only allows certain parties to see the site. I don't have any knowledge of background driven sites as web design is more of an extra thing when a client just really wants me involved.  I am fine with the repetitive work.. if what you suggest works, it breaks my job down by 6 times and that would actually be a huge relief.  Though I am over paid and hourly and the client has plenty of money, I just stop enjoying what I am doing with it after a bit to the point that I don't want to do it anymore regardless of the money.  I have thought of subcontracting someone with more experience in the arena that could make it database driven like you are saying, but, it is just such a monster that getting someone else involved (especially with a client that keeps it so close) will be more work than it is worth.  Fortunately, I think there will only be another update or two and then it will be finished as a collection.    The site houses a world renowned textile collection half photo half info about the pieces.. my method thus far has been to keep the photos laid out in Lightroom, where I output the monster site in one of the simple flash sites and then add the text in DW.. I take the new photos and html and connect them to the new site and front thumbnail pages with my original which I have kept adding to over the years.  To a degree it is decently quick and efficient, but when he drops or buys more than 10 pieces, and then needs to change photos, thumbs, and add text to anywhere but the last few pages, it can get into headacheland.   With a major change, it would be faster for me to just reoutput the whole photo based flash site from LR and then copy and paste all six layers on each photo..  but as you know, that has been my issue thus far and what I get for only having my toes into a program. 
    Thanks for your reply..

    I have been trying to watch tutorials on how layering works. All I want to do is this: I have one image of a radio with a white background. I need to have just the radio extracted, then on a new layer (white one/blank/plain) I need to copy and paste the image of the radio two times. How can I DO THIS!?!?!?! Thanks!

    In Editor, go to the expert tab.
    Open picture B, the one you wish to select the radio from to add to another picture.
    Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
    Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
    Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
    Use the move tool to position object from picture B.
    In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and the radio B on a separate layer.

  • CS 5.5 Mac - can't copy and paste between layers

    I'm running CS 5.5 on Mac (OS 10.7.4).  Try as I might, I can't copy and paste between layers.
    Create new document
    Create new layer (= 2)
    With first layer active, create text box and type randomly
    Swtich to pointer, select text box, Copy
    With second layer active, Paste
    Error message onscreen:
    <<Cannot paste or place onto locked or hidden layers.  Do you want to unlock and show all affected layers in order to paste?>>
    If click OK, the source layer (layer 1) becomes active again, and my text box gets pasted in.  The destination layer (layer 2) is untouched.
    Both layers are visible, neither of them are locked.
    Any ideas much appreciated!

    It sounds like you need to trash your prefs. See Replace Your Preferences
    And it shouldn't throw that message, but also check to be sure that Paste Remembers Layers isn't checked in the Layers panel flyout menu or you'll never get anything to paste from one layer to another.

  • 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 do I copy and paste from Word into Adobe Photoshop Elements 13

    using Windows 7 Professional SP1, Microsoft Office 365 (Office 2013).
    I can copy the text within a word document, without a problem.
    However, the paste options are greyed out and "Ctrl"+"V" does not work.
    Am I missing something, as I can't work out how to copy the text from word, to use as a basis for my photo shop document.

    Hey, guys. I am a complete noob to Elements 13. I need to get something done relatively quickly and I need to learn how to copy and paste from a Word document. How do I do this?
    Copy the text in WORD to place it on the clipboard
    Open PSE in Expert tab
    Open your picture file
    Get the type tool out of the tool box, click an insertion point
    Go to Edit>paste
    You should see two layers in the layers palette: background layer, and layer with the text.

  • Losing Layer Information and Names when Copying and Pasting

    I have an illustrator CS4 file that has a character created on a single layer.  Within that layer are many sub-layers, all with specific naming conventions.  For instance, there is a layer titled head, and within head are eyes nose mouth etc. When I copy, and paste it into another document all my layer information is destroyed. Any ideas?

    In the target document, check "Paste remembers layers" in the layers panel.

  • Copy and Paste text into AEFX stopped working

    I have succeeded in copying and pasting two paragraphs of text from Word Pad into AEFX. (ie two layers). I applied Typewriter FX and adjusted parameters , exported etc all fine.
    Took a break and now I can not seem to get the Copy and Paste to work and I have another 8 layers to do.
    Not exactly sure what I have done or changed to stop this Cut and Paste method from working. (And I do not wish to hand type in the test if possible - Pharmaceutical Mandatories)
    Any ideas? Thanx.

    To reassure you: You don't need to do anything to trigger these issues. ;-) They happen regularly, yet under lab conditions there seems no clear way to nail them down... Most of the time restarting the system and starting with a clean slate gives back the functionality.

  • Copy and paste help.

    I am pretty new to this design thing, and I am running CS3.
    I am basically trying to copy and paste from one photoshop doc to a new one to create textured prints.
    I was able to do it once, and with the notes I took, I cannot figure it out on my own.
    Everytime I paste my selection from the first doc to the next, there is a white border around my selection that shouldn't be there.
    I am missing a step between flattening and unlocking the one layer in the first doc to the next doc.
    Here's a screen shot that will probably explain this better than I can. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!! Thank you.
    The new doc has the reddish background.
    The far left doc is the one I cannot figure out how to edit in way where I can copy and paste without having that white border around my selection in the new one.
    The middle one was done correctly, I just can't figure out what step I am missing.
    What can I do to get the result I want?
    Thanks.

    Hi!  Another simple way to accomplish what you want would be do use a Multiply blending mode.  For example, in the far right document in your screenshot with the red background, you could select Layer 1, the pattern with the white border, and change the Blending Mode from Normal to Multiply in the Blending Modes drop-down.  See the screenshots below. 
    A layer set to Multiply will only darken the layers below, so the white border copied with the texture would not show up over a red background.  You can read more about the Multiply blending mode here: http://www.photoshopessentials.com/photo-editing/layer-blend-modes/multiply/
    Hope this helps!
