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.

How do I copy/paste full numerical-only account strings into the Projects WebADI template when the account segment fields in the template require use of the dropdown because they're formatted as alpha-numeric values?

How do I copy/paste full numerical-only account strings into the Projects WebADI template when the account segment fields in the template require use of the dropdown because they're formatted as alpha-numeric values? I'm using the Integrator named "Projects - Transaction Import" and a custom Layout created based on the seeded Layout named "Transaction Import - Accounted". Do I need to somehow change my Layout to make the Document accept numerical values instead of requiring alpha-numeric values? I need to be able to populate the Document with a large amount of transactions and cannot feasibly go through every transaction to add the alpha-valued name of the account segment to every segment that requires it. The segments in particular causing the problem are "Expnd Type" and "Organization Name" which are both alpha-numeric and as such contain the segment number and name; I need to be able to only have to enter the Natural Account Number (6-digit number only) and the Organization Number (5-digit number only).

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
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/AI51jce.jpg[/IMG]
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 Velocity data only?

Hello everyone,
I have an ostinato pattern that repeats about 50-60 times, and I'd like to be played "loud-soft-soft." Is there a way to copy-paste velocity information so I don't have to manually change each notes velocity?
I've tried copy-pasting hyper edit velocity information but it copy-pastes not only the velocity, but the notes as well!
I could use the pencil tool to draw the hyper information, but that is almost as tedious as changing the notes by hand.
Any suggestions?

I got a GREAT suggestion from logicprohelp.com to use "groove templates" and apply 0% quantize and 100% velocity. In theory this should work, but no matter what I try (quantize strength 0%, Quantize swing 0%) it STILL wants to quantize my part, and does so in a way that it makes it sound like mistakes and jitters rather than the consistent triplet pattern I wrote.
I'm going to continue to try this method, as it seems like it should work! I'm hoping its just user error!
As for simply re-playing in the part...well, lets just say my piano chops are REALLY bad, and when I slow down the part to a tempo I can play it, it somehow looses the bouncy feel I wanted then I speed it back up. I was hoping there would be an easy way to get the "feel" I wanted with the velocities and easily paste them. Perhaps I should just bite the bullet and keep re-recording the part until its right! That would probably be faster in the long run, seeing as how there is no Copy-Paste velocity, and groove templates seem to be buggy.

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.

JS CS3 copy, paste and transform

I have a script that allows the user to select objects on a page (in this case text frames) and create a new page user defined and then paste the selection on the page and make it fit the page size.
I'm having a slight problem where the text frames in the group are not showing the text (get text overflow) after the resize. If I comment out the myGroup.geometricBounds = [0,0,38,38]; line in the script below and manually resize the group to the document height and width (38,38) the text frames in the group are all ok.
var myNewGroup = new Array;
for (i=app.selection.length-1; i>=0; i--) {
myNewGroup.push (app.selection[i]);
var myGroup = app.activeDocument.groups.add(myNewGroup);
myGroup.move(Array(0,0) )
myGroup.geometricBounds = [0,0,38,38];
If anyone has any suggetions it would be greatly appreciated.
John.

This seems to be working. I went with the transform() in the end. If anyone has a better way please let me know.
var myNewGroup = new Array;
     //make group
for (i=app.selection.length-1; i>=0; i--) {
    myNewGroup.push (app.selection[i]);
var myGroup = app.activeDocument.groups.add(myNewGroup);
myGroup.move(Array(0,0) )
       //get size of group
var mySelSize = myGroup.geometricBounds;
         //get size of document
    var myDocHSize = app.activeDocument.documentPreferences.pageHeight;
    var myDocWSize = app.activeDocument.documentPreferences.pageWidth;
         //get scale value
    var myScalH = myDocHSize/mySelSize[2];
    var myScalW = myDocWSize/mySelSize[3];
         //apply transform scale
    var myScaleMatrix = app.transformationMatrices.add({horizontalScaleFactor:myScalW, verticalScaleFactor:myScalH});
    myGroup.transform(CoordinateSpaces.pasteboardCoordinates,AnchorPoint.topLeftAnchor, myScaleMatrix);

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.

Copy/Past in the agenda

Hello everyone!
One of the reason I've bought my tablet is to schedule easyer appointment...
I have a lot of same rendez-vous with my clients at different dates.
I want to copy and past all the settings (with one action) of my appointment (not only the object) but I can't. At this time I must do a lot (3) "copy/past" to reproduce only just one of my appointment in another date.
What can I do? Someone have a suggestion? This option will be able in a futur uptdate? I must download an available update?
This is very important for me thank you for your reply!
John

use keypress event or processcmdkey method to handle keyboard shortcuts. use clipboard to hold copied data & retrieve copied data from clipboard for paste operation.
protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref Message msg, Keys keyData)
KeyEventArgs e = new KeyEventArgs(keyData);
if ((e.Modifiers & Keys.Control) == Keys.Control & e.KeyCode == Keys.C)
// Copy data from Source Control
Clipboard.SetText(this.textBox1.Text);
else if ((e.Modifiers & Keys.Control) == Keys.Control & e.KeyCode == Keys.V)
if (Clipboard.ContainsText())
// Paste data to the desired control
this.textBox2.Text = Clipboard.GetText();
return this.ProcessCmdKey(ref msg, keyData);
Use Context menu to handle right click opearations..

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.

Copy/paste functions only work intermittently.

Windows 8; FF 26 -- not working: cut & paste -- not always. I've noticed that copy is greyed out on the edit menu so I can't even do it that way. I have to drag the selected text.
I don't have zone alarm or any of the other things other people have installed. Is there a solution to this yet?
Thank you.

Hi lotusgreen!
Are you unable to copy/paste only in Firefox or is it the same for IE and Chrome?

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?

When using Edit Find, I can only type 3 or 4 letters in the Find bar before the letters start disappearing. If I copy/paste a word into the Find bar all the letters will be there. Has anyone else had this problem?

The Find bar opens OK with Edit/Find. I start typing in a word there but it will only allow 3 letters before they disappear and my next keystroke appears. I can copy/paste a whole word or string of words into the Find bar and all the letters remain.

Every time Firefox opened

See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

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.....

Copy Paste only from Paint

We have a w2008 R2 terminal server for a week now and clients make a vpn connection. They copy paste pictures from local to a Word 2010 document on the terminal server.
Everthing function well before. Same clients and a w2003 terminal server with Word 2010. Users copy local picture (openend in Paint, Microsoft Photo viewer, Irfanview, etc.) and than copy paste it to a Word document on the terminal server.
Now it does not work anymore accept when they opend it local in Paint. Only than they can copy the picture.
-I have checkt de properties on client
-I have restart rdpclip.exe on Termnal server.
-I have checked if it is a rights issue but it seems that it's not
I realy like to find a solution for this because doing it with MSPaint is al lot of work for the people.
Does any has a answer for this?
Your help will be appreciated.
