Copy Paste Keyframe Issue

So, I have a composition with a solid and a null object.  The solid has a spiral path made using the pen tool.  I copied/pasted the mask path from the solid to the null object (transform > position).  However, the null object bounces all around the screen and does not follow the spiral path.  When I look closely at the keyframes that were pasted, I notice that there are additional keyframes that were pasted (I assume After FX added these for some reason).  Some of them even appear to be inbetween actual keyframes.  How do I disable these additional keyframes?  And/or, how do I copy/paste this?
Thanks!

Ok, I have provided some screenshots.
Here is what the project/comp looks like:

After I made the path (using the pen tool), I copied the mask path

Then, I pasted it into the null object position

In this next screen, you can see how different the keyframes appear.  I want them to be identical.

  • Copy - paste Keyframed transforms only

    Hi
    In Flash CS3 is it possible to copy a Keyframed and tweened animation of say a symbol growing larger and paste the Keyframes of the scaling transform onto a different symbol on a different layer so that this new symbol animates in the same way as the first symbol.
    When I try this with "ctrl alt c / v" the new symbol becomes the same as the old symbol and also moves to the same position too. I need to only copy the scale transform info in the Keyframes.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks for any help
    Graz

    I finally found out how to do this:
    Select frames to copy
    Right click
    Select Copy motion
    Select object to receive animation
    Right click object
    Select paste motion or Paste motion special
    The latter gives a choice of which parameters to copy over.

  • Shape Animation - can't copy/paste keyframes

    I'm using bezier masks to remove some talking heads from their lame surroundings. I've set keyframes at the most extreme points of movement, and now want to go back and fill in some additional keyframes, but I am unable to copy/paste shape animation keyframes in the keyframe editor. Any suggestions?

    You can turn on record animation, and just move the playhead, then move the control points.

  • Copy/Paste Keyframes for multiple stills?

    Is there a way to use the keyframe motion that is set for one still picture and copy and paste it to a group of still pictures in a row (if all images are the same length)?  I am doing a slideshow of pictures in FCE and was hoping to find a way to save time by using the settings for one image for all of my images.
    Thank you!

    Click on the clip on the timeline that has the motion keyframe effect you want to copy to select it.
    Type Command + C to copy the clip.
    Select all the clips you want to paste the motion keyframe effect to (hold the shift key down while clicking on the clips).
    Once selected, type Option + V to bring up the paste attributes window, and click on the checkboxes for the attributes you want to paste to the selected clips.
    Click OK.

  • Copy/Paste Frames in New Layer Un-Synching from Guide

    I recently upgraded to CS4 from Flash MX 2004, and I'm experiencing a problem with something I've literally been doing for years in Flash. What I do is copy/paste keyframed animation from one layer into a new empty layer. I then trim the animation as necessary, insert a new key frame, and repeat this action over many layers. In all my previous Flash version experience (think back to Flash 4 I've been doing this), the animation pastes perfectly into the new empty layer. This allows me to fill a street map of roads with arrows down a stretch of road that repeat perfectly over a 8 frame animation.
    What's different is in CS4, once I paste in the animation into the new layer, it un-synchs from the motion guide. I then have to manually re-synch, or attach, it to the guide.
    I need for this NOT to happen. Is there a setting or preference some where I am not seeing that prevents the un-synching from happening? I don't understand why CS4 would be different in this regard to the previous versions of Flash I've had experience with.
    Thanks for your time.

    A friend who has worked for me in Flash doing what I do and is now in school has informed me that guides in CS4 are no longer used, that they want you to use motion tweens instead, so the guides are difficult to use now, and as she put it "They found a better way to do motion so they want you to use the new way". She also informed me that this not the case in CS3, and that you can save your CS4 file as a CS3 file and use the guides normally without buggy behavior.
    She also confirmed that what I do in Flash can't be done, or rather is just grossly ineffective and time consuming, with motion tweens.
    If Adobe is reading this, I for one would sincerely appreciate it if you un-did the buggy behavior of guides, and reinstate the code in CS4 to allow us to continue using guides normally.
    Thank you.

  • 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).
    http://help.apple.com/motion/mac/5.0/en/motion/usermanual/#chapter=12%26section= 12
    If you just need to match the animation of another layer (Position, Rotation, Scale) try using the Match Move behavior.

  • How can I copy&paste a keyframe?

    How can I copy&paste a keyframe?
    Imagine : I decide, after having animated a scene, to freeze un object for a few seconds.
    I can, of course, create a new keyframe and digit the same size and position (but it takes a while).
    isn't there a simpler way : copy&paste a keyframe?

  • Copy and Paste Keyframes?

    Is there no way to copy and paste keyframes from one track to another? I've also tried duplicating the track, but the keyframes don't duplicate. This would be a very useful, timesaving feature. Another would be the ability to directly edit a keyframe by selecting it and entering a value for the volume.

    What version of Audition are you using?
    I'm pretty sure that keyframes duplicate when you duplicate a track in Audition CC
    I certainly agree that directly entering a value for a keyframe would be MOST useful - here's hopeing.....

  • IWork(Keynote, pages and numbers) doesn't work well about the issue of copy & paste problem

    I think so, too. the Keynote 6.5 is not working well on Yosemite (Mac OS X 10.10.1).
    In my case, I can't copy & paste from some program(particularly analysis program in my case) to Keynote.
    So, when I check coping & pasting the graph or image and so on to Powerpoint and other programs (one of Office is such word and 3rd programs), It works well. However It doesn't work at Keynote, page and numbers.
    Also, I tried to do the following process to solve this issue
    ======
    Something is wrong with your installation of Keynote
    Try this repair for Keynote, ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
    1  delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote by using AppDelete.
    2  restart the Mac;   Apple menu > restart
    3  immediately after the start chime,  press the shift key until you see the Apple symbol.
             let it fully boot up,  it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
    4  when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive  then First Aid tab and      click  repair disc permissions
    5  when complete, restart the Mac normally
    6  install Keynote from the Mac App Store
    ====
    It doesn't work! Anything doesn't change.
    In conclusion, I didn't solve this yet!
    Plz, solve this problem or fix it!.

    This is a double posting, please only post in one discussion at a time.
    Keynote 6.5 is stable and reliable under Yosemite for most users.
    As with all new operating systems and applications, a small number of users find a few problems.
    Copy and pasting text from and into Keynote from all the applications I have, work perfectly: the applications include; Safari, Mail, Word, PowerPoint, excel, Pages, Numbers, iMovie, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator.
    If you want to place graphics into Keynote, use one of the following methods:
    Insert > Coose
    click the media button on an image placehoder
    click the media button on the tool bar
    drag and drop from a Finder window

  • Copy/Paste From Illustrator CS6 to Photoshop CS6 Issues

    Hi.
    When copying a gradient filled shape from illustrator CS6 to photoshop CS6 an outline "halo" appears in the photoshop image although the shape has no outline to begin with. Is this a clipboard issue? Is it an anti-aliasing setting I can change? Apparently it isn't as noticeable when I drag the shape from illustrator to photoshop as it is when using the copy/paste command. But in both situations there seem to be issues in the border when gradient filled shapes touch other shapes. Please help if you know how.
    Thank you.

    In Illustrator, try a blue shape underneath the butted-together rotated rectangles so seams do not become apparent when rasterized.

  • Excel 2007 "Hang" issue when copy/pasting.

    Hi.
    I have a user, using terminal services from a HP thin client. The server is a Windows server 2008 R2 SP1, Office 2007 SP3. The user is trying to copy from a IBM access session into Excel, sometimes the Excel will hang, an needs to be forcefully closed down
    using the Task Manager. I have made sure that the IBS Access is using the clipboard function on the server. Other users can copy/paste from this program without any issues. The server is fully updated and the office pack also.
    Any suggestions on where to start?
    Regards Martin

    Hi Martin,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Thus from your description it seems that particular user is facing the hangs issue, please correct me if there is anything misunderstand from my side.
    Does this happens for all Excel file with that user?
    Please try with RDP 8.1 for user and check the result. Please check the network connectivity is good. As user is copy pasting from IBM session it can create a little delay with file size or corrupt Excel file. The issue might also appear because the size for
    Excel sheet would be very high and thus during the logon time it will take a long time to open. Also it may take into hang issue for the users. In addition also check below link for information.

  • Crashing issue+ copy/ paste issue

    Dear all, I am facing two serious bug issues:
    1) on many www pages I am facing serious issue (e.g. www.makezine.com , but also on almost all others I was browsing). After approx 20 sec to several minutes firefox browser close itself and home android page appear. There is no error message at all
    2) once I copy any text outside firefox browser, then I not end it to any text field on Web page opened under firefox browser, there is no way to paste it
    Can you please fix these bugs? My smartphone is samsung galaxy s5, android v 4.2 (kitkat)
    Thanks.

    Hi olsi:
    * 2. steps to reproduce crash problem as per your screenshots
    ** i) highlight text "display the word 'paste'..."
    ** ii) copy the text
    ** iii) long press on 'Aaa' and then 'Aaa" is selected
    ** iv) tap on combined clipboard copy/paste icon and '''the text 'Aaa' is copied instead the desired behaviour which is to paste "display the word 'paste'..."'''
    * 3. to fix this, the workaround I believe is to do the following instead of 2 iv):
    ** iv) tap on the checkmark icon first to make sure 'Aaa' is not selected and then long press and use the combined clipboard copy/paste icon to paste (or on some devices a Paste icon instead of the combined clipboard copy/paste icon will be shown and you can use this Paste icon). I found this workaround here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1086933#c7:
    <blockquote>
    "The "Paste" popup is finicky in the URLBar. Because you had a selection already, we show the ActionBar. If you would have cleared the URLBar selection and then long-pressed, you would have seen the "Paste" popup."
    </blockquote>
    '''Again olsi thanks for your patience and please let us know if the workaround 3 iv) works'''

  • When I copy/paste a paragraph from a PDF doc, it pastes with no spaces between words. How can I fix this? I've searched everywhere for the solution but didn't find anyone had this issue.

    When I copy/paste a paragraph from a PDF doc (onto Facebook status bar, for example) it pastes with no spaces between words.  I.e: "The manhadajugofcoolwaterand offeredmeadrink." How can I fix this? I've searched everywhere for the solution but didn't find anyone had this issue. I'm new to Apple so any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

    I can't speak about this occurring with FaceBook since I don't use FaceBook, but I see the same type of thing when I copy and pasted from websites. It doesn't always happen and I cannot find any particular set of circumstances under which it occurs or does not occur.
    I am merely responding to let you know that it happens to me as well and I have seen no way to correct it. I'm not so sure that there is a way to correct in in that it may have something to do with how the original text is formatted in the PDF or on the website and how it eventually "fits" into the text field or the area in which it is pasted.

  • Weird Copy Paste Issue

    Having a strange issue with Copy & Paste on my Windows 8.1 install. Whenever I copy a link, text or anything even a picture.. usually when I go to paste it.. either by keyboard shortcut (ctrl + V) or right clicking.. nothing is pasted. In the right
    click menu, Paste is there and not grayed out. It is very frustrating, as I always have to go back and copy it again and try again. Most of the time it works the second time sometimes it will not. Not sure even how to go about troubleshooting this.  Anyone
    else ever experience this issue? When copying and pasting from within the same app it doesn't happen. But more so when I am on a site.. I copy the address.. by the time I switch to Outlook and open a new message and paste, it's lost. 
    Thank you
    edit: trying to move this into th Windows 8.1 forum, but can't find out how, I apologize.
    update: seems to be when copying is from a browser. Chrome, IE etc...

  • Can't get Typekit to work with localhost (also, another weird issue with copy+paste)

    Hi!
    I've searched through the other posts already, and I *think* I've tried all the solutions, but I still can't get the typekit fonts on my machine.
    I'm trying to use the "orator-std" font.  In the "kit editor", in the "kit settings -> kit settings" tab I have for name "localhost" (w/o quotes) and for domains just "127.0.0.1" (w/o quotes).
    Then (AFTER saving the settings from that tab), I go back into edge animate, I start a new font by clicking that + sign next to "fonts", in the "library" tab.  I set the "font fallback list" to ' "orator-std",sans-serif ' (w/ quotes, w/o single quotes), and then go back to the open browser and go to the "embed code", copy both lines of javascript, go back to edge animate, and... nothing.  It won't let me change ANY text in this box anymore after the window loses focus.  I have to press "cancel" and try again.  So this time, I just type in the orator-std... blah blah, same as last time, but paste in the code successfully as it was already in the clipboard and I didn't need to make the window lose focus.  Okay, so I click "Add font", and apply the font to my text.  Nothing happens.
    Huh... well the "Font's from T" picture is showing up in the bottom right of my screen, so that's odd.  I go to preview in chrome, still ugly old sans-seriff there, also with the "Font's from T" logo in the bottom right.
    I figure "okay, probably just takes a second... or a minute... or w/e like the message said."  Well this was at least an hour ago, so something is still wrong.
    I would love to just delete the font and start from scratch... maybe something got screwed up along the way and it would fix things to just start from scratch.  Well... "sorry" says edge animate... can't let you delete that!  In the "libarary" tab, there's only one font visible, it says "orator-std,sans-serif" (w/o quotes).  If I right click it, the only option is "delete" and it's greyed out.
    I tried doing one with arial instead of sans-serif just now, still not working, but everything shows up in arial now instead of sans-serif... so that's something I guess.
    Apologies if this is just a simple problem that I'm just somehow not grasping.  Please accept this legitimate bug report as payment... the er copy paste bug, I mean...
    Thanks!
    Trevor

    Hi Trevor,
    I'm sorry you ran into trouble here. Typekit can be used locally. However there are some necessary steps that if left out, will cause the fonts not to render. In order to use Typekit locally, you've got to:
    1. Be running a local server when testing your site in the browser. You can tell if you're running a local server by the URL of the local site. If it starts with: file:// then you are just viewing the local file in a browser and not running it from a local server.
    If the local URL starts with: http:// then you're running a local server.
    2. The domain of your local server has to be part of the domain list in your Kit. So, if your local server uses: localhost, you'll need to add this to your Kit's domains.
    I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to us directly: [email protected]
    Cheers,
    Benjamin
